Lian Harper/Speedy x Joseph Wilson/Jericho

For one of my fanfics, I am writing down the development for the relationship between Lian Harper (daughter of Cheshire and Red Arrow), known as the new Speedy and apprentice to Green Arrow/Connor Hawke, and Joseph Wilson, the son of Deathstroke/Slade Wilson, also known as Jericho.

It will start as a friendship between those teens. But Joseph developed a crush on Lian since they first met. And because she saved him from a gang of bullies.

But like the beginning, they have to start as friends at first. Joseph and Lian had regard each other as first friends, since they both lived in loneliness.

With Joseph's father away since the divorce between his parents. Lian also isolates herself since the disappearance of her mother. Both kids lived with single parents.

After Lian becomes Green Arrow's protege, Speedy, there are times she would go to Joseph for advice. Or talk to him whenever she had issues.

Joseph would happily give her advice. And would only care about her happiness. Later on, once Joseph finds out that Lian is Speedy, he is shocked at first. But he never tell this to anyone.

However, Lian knew it would put Joseph at risk at the hands of the League of Shadows. After Joseph is captured by the Brotherhood of Evil, Lian (as Speedy) and Connor (as Green Arrow).

However, Joseph was experimented for metagene, and as a result, he gains telepathy, and the ability to use his eyes to gain possession of his opponent's bodies, similar to a ghost.

Once Green Arrow and Speedy rescued Joseph, they then trained him combat to help him defend himself in the future. And given how close he is to Lian, he would have her back, with the codename Jericho.

DC Legacy

The basic premise of this is that the time has come for older heroes to step down and the next generation take their place. Clark Kent is now the editor and owner of the Daily Planet and vows to lead them into the future while keeping their dedication to the truth. Diana Prince is now Queen of the Amazons and has relinquished her title as Wonder Woman though she still joins the Justice Society when needed. Bruce Wayne has become mayor of Gotham City and intends to use the power of the office to fight crime at the root. However the intensified spotlight means he must give up the cowl. Others such as Oliver Queen have stepped down from active duty to become teachers to the next generation, passing down their skills and knowledge.

It is the love of books that made me want to write one of my own. While it’s true that I don’t have the time to read as much as I used to –and mostly because of writing and its associated tasks– I still enjoy spending my free time with a good book. Each year for the past several, I’ve participated in the Goodreads Reading Challenge in which I set a goal of reading from a list of books within the year. My goal was to read 20 books in 2017 –a modest amount for a woman who used to read a book a week before becoming an author herself!

I am happy to say that I surpassed my goal and read 25 books! Here is my list:

W.B. Yeats and the Muses – Joseph M. Hassett

A Farewell To Arms – Ernest Hemingway

Too Loud a Solitude – Bohumil Hrabal

Loving – Henry Green

The Bell Jar – Sylvia Plath

Norse Mythology – Neil Gaiman

Heartbreak Hotel – Jonathan Kellerman

Princess Margaret, A Biography – Theo Aronson

The Complete Works of William Blake

Pills – Jack Binding

Camino Island – John Grisham

Storm Of Steel – Ernst Junger

X – Sue Grafton

The Whistler – John Grisham

Regeneration – Pat Barker

Crowned and Dangerous – Rhys Bowen

Speaking In Bones – Kathy Reichs

The Obsession – Nora Roberts

Time To Lie – Phil Taylor

The Human Factor – Graham Greene

Batman and Psychology – A Dark and Stormy Knight

Black Chalk – Christopher J. Yates

Don Quixote – Miguel Cervantes

To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee

Bistro – Roger Moore

As you can see from the list, I don’t only read novels. The list includes two collections of short stories, two biographies, two non fiction books and a collection of poetry. Choosing a favorite from this group is difficult. Comparing books of different genres is like comparing apples to oranges, but I’ll share some of the standouts in the list, for better or worse.

I was fascinated to read the perspective of a German officer during World War One in Storm of Steel. My research on the Great War had been, with the exception of All Quiet On the Western Front, written from the standpoints of Belgium, France, Britain and the rest of their allies. Ernst Junger presents an enthusiastic (without being unrealistic) narration of his experiences as a soldier in the German Army. This is a marked contrast to the reluctant soldier (a character with whom we highly sympathize) in Erich Remarque’s All Quiet On the Western Front.

Watching season one of The Crown on Netflix made me curious about the romance between Group Captain Townsend and the Princess Margaret. Her biography was intriguing and sad. The book paints a story of a woman who embraced her royal status as much as she rebelled against conformity –quite the tale of two women. The thwarted love affair with Townsend is especially interesting and ironic considering the latest “Meg” to join the royal family is divorced, American and of mixed race. My, how times have changed! (For the better, at least in these kinds of situations.)

Black Chalk was the standout favorite of all the novels on the list. It is a psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator telling the story of a group of friends who begin a game in college which has consequences that grow ever more serious as time goes by –even to the extent of ruining lives. It was awesomely chilling!

And the biggest disappointment of the group was The Bell Jar. This is one of those books that I was ashamed to admit I had never read. Well, I finally crossed it off my to-do list but I can’t say I’m any more enriched for the experience. And I know many of you will say ‘what is wrong with you?’ when I tell you this but I was bored with the story. Bored and worn out with all the similes. The curtains didn’t just flutter in the breeze, they fluttered like the wings of half dead moths (or some such thing). Descriptions like that were stacked one top of another and it got tiresome. I also kept wondering what I was missing. This is supposed to be a life-changing book. I didn’t get it.

The previous year (2016), I failed my reading challenge thanks to an overly aggressive writing and blogging schedule and I realized I didn’t like the fact that I wasn’t taking in as many stories as I was putting out. I strongly believe that a good writer must be an avid reader. That means something different to everyone, as we all have busy lives. Most of us are carving out time from our ‘day’ jobs and our family and friends to make time for writing. How does one find the time to read as well?

My reading time is divided two ways: I read a little before bed every night and I listen to an audiobook while I exercise (nearly) every day. I may read research material for a project I’m working on as well. In 2018, I’m setting my goal at 25 books and we shall see if I can manage it with my writing goals for this year. Here’s what I have on my list, what’s on yours?

Cannery Row – John Steinbeck

The Catcher In the Rye – JD Salinger

The Handmaid’s Tale – Margaret Atwood

The Man In the High Castle – Philip K. Dick

The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way – Bill Bryson
