Third Doctor (and books, books, books)

quipxoticI've had a week of day-long meetings after which I couldn't word any more, so I haven't written anything lately. Last week I finished off the drabbles for the Third Doctor audios "Primord" and "The Scream of Ghosts." Of the two stories, "Primord" is my favorite - having Liz Shaw and the Brigadier back in the audios is such a treat. And, since I have a long weekend coming up, I'm hopeful to spend part of that working on "Hill House Five" a bit.
I've started a few audiobooks during the time I haven't been writing. I just finished Doctor Who: The Faceless Ones by Terrance Dicks, the novelization of the Second Doctor serial where Ben and Polly leave the TARDIS. It's one of those stories that is so bizarre that it probably works better as a book than on TV and I enjoyed it, although it's an interesting choice to have the two departing characters practically disappear for the greater part of the story. Then there's Jane Austen at Home: A Biography by Lucy Worsley, who is one of my favorite British historians. And finally, there's Circe by Madeline Miller. I'm only a few chapters in on that one, so it's a little too soon to say, but I'm enjoying Circe's voice and all the threads of Greek myths that Miller weaves through the story.
