Bits And Pieces

Black Hole Sunday: This Sunday on the Discovery Science Channel is Black Hole Sunday! Lots of programming regarding just about everything you want to know about black holes, supermassive black holes, a series on How the Universe Works, and of course Through The Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. Cool stuff! 

If you don't have the Science Discovery Channel then I encourage you to contact your cable provider and ask them for the channel. You'll be glad you did! 

Women of Science: I have another Women of Science series coming up. I did this last year and the response was one of the best I ever had. I have five fascinating posts lined up for July. 

Attention Self-Pubbed Authors: I saw this link on Old Kitty's blog Ten Lives and Second Chances on Monday. HERE'S something for you fans of self-published authors! Nominate your fave self-pubbed author and the Guardian newspaper will interview them and highlight their novels!  

Mary Pax and Backworlds: Congrats! to MPax and her success with Backworlds and her recent Free Download promotion with Kindle. Backworlds reached #23 on Amazon's Best Seller Rank for Free Downloads and hit #1 for Adventure and Space Opera! 

Guest Bloggers: I'm lining up some really awesome guest bloggers for the summer. I hope you liked Monday's post with Timothy Ashby. And I have more open days. If you want to guest blog here, email me at stephen.tremp@yahoo.com 


Author Of The Week: This week it's Tyrean Martinson Dragon fold and Other Adventures, a collection of new and old stories and poems with fantasy and scifi elements. Just click the icon at the top right of my side bar.

Finally: When all else fails and you think you're out of gas and can't move foprward, take the advice from the Penguins of Madagascar. Just Smile and Wave.

    Excellent choice for book of the week.
    So will all those shows on black holes suck you in?

  9. Remember this: "The Black Hole" (1979) Maximillian Schell, Anthony Perkins, Robert Forster, Joseph Bottoms, Yvette Mimieux, and Ernest Borgnine.

    Congrats #1 Mary! Congrats Author-of-the-Week Tyrean!

    Everything is better with a penguin on it. :-)

  10. I find black holes quite a frightening thing from all the programmes I have seen about them so far.

  11. Black Hole Sunday almost makes me wish we had satellite again. And I have to agree with Lexa. Penguins do make everything better.
