Partials - Tumblr Posts

Almost done with book 2 of the Partials Series by Dan Wells and I'm freaking out. This series is fantastic! Crazy story to go with it too... I met Dan Wells this past weekend at Comic Con in Kansas City. My friends and I were talking to him about getting published etc. etc. and I started asking him about his books laid out on the table. I thought this series looked right up my alley and so I asked how much they were. He said 10 dollars and I just happened to have exactly that much left in cash so decided to get the first book while we joked together about how it was fate that I was there with exactly the cash I needed for the book. Then he turned to ask me who to make out the autograph too and when I told him "my name is Kira. K-I-R-A" he looked at me stunned. He asked me if I was serious and commented on the crazy coincidence. "The main character in Partials is named Kira" he said and showed me on page one-my name looking right back at me. I didn't hear creepy music in my ears but the serendipity of it all struck me. He was super cool and his books are brilliant. If you haven't read this series-you should! It is full of action, moral confoundary and a whole bunch of mystery and intrigue. I'm in love 😄

I saw this picture on some random Google search about French Horns. They were saying that they used this to explain playing the Horn to a pianist. So true! When you can play almost a whole scale using only one fingering, you know your instrument has issues.
