Celebrate the Small Things is an awesome way to stay positive hosted by VikLit!2. I survived triple booking myself on Wednesday. I don't recommend it, but the fests were too fun to pass up.
3.There are three ways to win Champion in the Darkness now! Laurel at Laurel's Leave is hosting an ebook giveway here which is awesome! Thank you Laurel! Brinda Berry included Champion in the Darkness in her Random Acts of Kindness giveaway, and I totally didn't expect that. Thank you Brinda! Plus, you can check out the ongoing blog tour giveaway on my Blog tour page here.
4. Mid-winter break!
5. My family is awesome! (too many details to cover here, just let's say that they have been especially wonderful this week)
6. I snowboarded last Friday and had fun, even though I spent 5 hours going down the bunny hill repetitively, when usually I would ski past it in less than five minutes.
7. Alex J. Cavanaugh's new cover for CassaStorm is out!
CassaStorm by Alex J. Cavanaugh
A storm gathers across the galaxy…
Byron thought he’d put the days of battle behind him. Commanding the Cassan base on Tgren, his only struggles are occasional rogue pirate raids and endless government bureaucracies. As a galaxy-wide war encroaches upon the desert planet, Byron’s ideal life is threatened and he’s caught between the Tgrens and the Cassans.
After enemy ships attack the desert planet, Byron discovers another battle within his own family. The declaration of war between all ten races triggers nightmares in his son, shaking Bassan to the core and threatening to destroy the boy’s mind.
Meanwhile the ancient alien ship is transmitting a code that might signal the end of all life in the galaxy. And the mysterious probe that almost destroyed Tgren twenty years ago could be on its way back. As his world begins to crumble, Byron suspects a connection. The storm is about to break, and Byron is caught in the middle…
Release date: September 17, 2013 - It's not coming soon enough, but I'm excited. Congrats Alex!
8. Allison at Geek Banter awarded me with the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Wow! Thanks!
I'm going to honor that award properly next week on Monday here, while I'm visiting her at her blog for the Champion in the Darkness tour . . .trying to make double booking myself make sense.
Again, please stop by Tara Tyler Talks for a little Friday fun!
What are you celebrating today?
Congratulations on the award and for mastering the bunny hill!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for posting my cover today. Really appreciate it!
Snowboarding sounds like a lot of fun...cold...but fun. Congrats on the award, too!
ReplyDeleteCool cover for Alex's new book!
ReplyDeleteGreat cover-- congrats to Alex.
ReplyDeleteSnowboarding? Brave soul. I'll stick to Xcountry skiing, thank you.
Bless your heart-you brave girl snow boarding! The last time I tried to ski, it didn't go so well. I slid/fell down the slopes looking all Jerry Lewis-like. I'm a super spaz. Can't even think about attempting to snow board, even on the bunny hills.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Alex - Thanks! and You're welcome. I'm really excited about reading your book!
ReplyDeleteMark - Snowboarding is fun, and can be cold - although I ended up sweating under all the layers I wore. And Thanks!
Julie - Xcountry? I've heard that's an awesome calorie burner, and I see telemarkers going downhill all the time where we go to ski and board . . .it looks hard!
jaybird - I like skiing, and my husband likes to snowboard, so I tried it, and I really enjoy it, but . . .I'm used to my skis. I think both are something that takes some getting used to over several days worth of practice.
Have a great weekend!
I've never snowboarded before but wouldn't rule it out. Glad you had fun.
ReplyDeleteAll kinds of great things here today! Here's to a wonderful weekend.

ReplyDeleteGreat news for Champion in the Darkness!
Julie - it's great fun to try. I highly recommend giving it a 2-3 day trial and not just a one day try . . .that way you can get into it and have more fun!
ReplyDeleteC. Lee - Hope you have a great weekend too!
Suzanne - Thanks! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
