First, please, go to Tara Tyler's blog, and check out the interview there! Tara is so much fun, and she's so creative! I really enjoy visiting with her!

Celebrate the Small Things is an awesome way to stay positive hosted by VikLit!

1. Champion in the Darkness is available in paperback and in Nook books. Plus I've had a really fun week on the book blog tour. Remember, check out Tara Tyler Talks today!

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!

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?

She Said What?! Blog-o-versary Giveaway Bash, Minion Badge, and Giveaway

 The "She Said What?!" Blogaversary Giveaway Bash is brought to us by Michelle and Elise, both celebrating their blogaversaries! For this fun event, each blogger gets to fill in the captions:

Add caption Panel 1: "Look out Elise, I see the dragon's cheek! She's right behind me." "Dudette, I know, get up in this balloon so we can getaway with her treasure!"
Panel 2: "Michelle, what are you doing?" "My foot got caught in a twist Just help me up, all right?"
Panel 3: "Don't worry Lady Dragon, I'm here to save your treasure from these two thieves!"

Panel 4: "Oomph!" Panel 5: Michelle, jump for the lake! Panel 6: "That was easier than I expected." "Yeah, it just goes to show you that even supergirl can't tango with us and get away with it."

Panel 7: Dragon: "Oh no, supergirl is hurt, and my treasure is gone!" Elise: "I've heard there's a healer in that next town, we'll send you  some champagne to help supergirl. That might get her buzz back!"

Ok, so my entry for that made no sense at all, but I had fun. Hopefully the dragon will take good care of supergirl, even if the two thieves forget to send the champagne.

 

 

I've been having so much fun these days that I thought I would sign up for more fun as an A to Z minion for Spunk on a Stick. Check out the cool badge:

 

 

 

Meanwhile, my Champion in the Darkness blog tour is going well, thanks to all of my awesome blogger buddies. In addition to those awesome buddies who signed up to help, I've had some unexpected, totally surprise help in spreading the word about Champion in the Darkness.

 

Brinda Berry is hosting a Random Acts of Kindness Giveaway on her blog, and Champion in the Darkness is one of the five books available for that! Check it out here!

 

 

Also, I haven't been very good about posting this on my blog, but I'm having a long Giveaway with the blog tour. If you want to sign up, here's the rafflectopter info:
