This Time For Realsies!

Today we visit the Blood Red Pencil. This has to be one of the best titles I’ve come across in all my years of writing, editing, blogging, and promoting.

 

Anyway, I’m at the point where I’m giving a recap of my experiences of writing a trilogy, what I’m thinking now, and where the heck I need to go. I’m coming full circle and ending up where it all first began. My Yahoo! Writing Group called the BBT, or Blog Book Tour.

 

Let’s not delay any further. Without permission from Mary Pax, we are using Spacedock 19 to transport over to the Blood Red Pencil. She always leaves the keys in the ignition. Let’s give a special shout out in the comments if you have been affiliated in any way with this very supportive group called chocked full of knowledge, wisdom, and experience.

But let’s hurry, before May finds out. It's off to the Blood Red Pencil!

A to Z Right Around The Corner, Susan Gourley, Angels nd Demons,and E=Mc2

Happy Monday everyone! A to Z is right around the corner. This is a great time to pre-post a few more letters of the alphabet. I’m a bit behind but I really think I can finish them all before April 1st.

Today we continue with the Escalation Blog Tour at Susan Gourley’s Website and Science and the Supernatural, or E=Mc2. This is a fun one folks as we delve into how E=Mc2 could very well explain angels and demons. Don’t believe me? Stop by Susan’s site and check it out.

The Great & Powerful Theme Reveal A to Z, Flight MH370, Black Holes, The Weekend Funnies, Wormholes, and Jumper Cables

Whoo Hoo! The day we have all been waiting for. We can now officially announce our themes for the April A to Z Challenge.

 

My Theme: A bit predicatble, I know. But a whole lot of fun! Okay, here it is: The Wonders and Oddities of our Universe: I can go in so many directions with this one. And I’ll give you a hint of what’s to come. A is for Aliens. And it’s probably not what you think. Unless you watch the news seeking out the smaller stories. Which could turn out to be the Big Story over time!

 

 

CNN: Did A Black Hole Make Flight 370 Disappear? Well, CNN has finally made sense of all of this. A black hole may be to blame for th doomed airliner.

 

 

The Weekend Follies: No, I have not forgotten. I just posted a day early. Which I can do as I have a wormhole in my garage that I can travel back and forth through space and time. When it runs, that is.

 

Ummm .... I just need a jump. Yes, I left the lights on. Again. At least I didn't leave my keys in it. Does anyone have any jumper cables?

 

Weekend Follies: Okay, we will now travel back in time one day. Click to go to Bish Denham’s Blog for Humor in Fiction. See you there.

Weekend Follies With Bish Denham

Continuing on the Escalation Blog Tour, today we stop by Bish Denham’s Blog for Humor in Fiction. And who better to take us there than that crazy cast from Mystery Science 3000. So let’s blast off from the Gizmonic Institute and go to Bish’s blog before MST 3000 makes a spoof movie of my books.

 

But don’t forget to stop by tomorrow as the the Great and Powerful Theme Reveal for A to Z Challenge is Friday.

Julie Musil, The Science Behind Harry Potter, and E=Mc2.

Dumbledore and Voldemort Dueling

We’re well into the Escalation Blog Tour and are having a great time! Today’s post promises to resonate with young and old alike. We’ll be visiting Julie Musil’s Blog and the topic is The Science Behind Harry Potter, specifically the duel between Professor Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort..

 

Great News: We’ve only lost five people while teleporting around. But we’ve picked up two lost souls from my Opening Blog Tour. We’re only minus three in that department! So let’s get ready to apparate to Julie’s blog. Just a word of caution if you’ve never done this. Grab someone’s arm who has done this before.

 

Wait For Us!!!

Just don’t look for Dumbledore. He’s dead. So is Professor Snape. As is ... well, half of the cast of Harry Potter. But no worries. I’m here to ensure most if not all make it to Julie’s and back safely. Just grab hold of Harry's, Hermione's, or Ron's wrist.

 

Here’s What To Expect: Everything will go black. You will be pressed very hard from all directions. You can not breathe as there were iron bands tightening around your chest; your eyeballs will be forced back into your head; your ear-drums will be pushed deeper into your skull. No worries. Right? So grab hold of someone and let’s go!

 

If you’re still here, then you're still here. Let's try an alternative route and CLICK HERE.

The Pyramid of Doom, Lexa Cain, and Wormholes Too!!

Today we get to stop by Tuesday March 18: Lexa Cain’s Blog for my favorite topic: Wormholes! But we’ll need to pass through the Pyramid of Doom to get there.

 

Don’t let the name fool you. There’s nothing to be scared of. Except spiders. And snakes. Trap doors and alligators. Poison arrows. And large rolling balls made of stone.

 

And a large army of zombie mummies! Well, there's only one. But he's pretty darn scary. And hungry too. 

 

Amazon Reviews: I’m beginning to receive some really awesome reviews for Opening at Amazon. Together, Breakthrough, Opening, and Escalation follow the lives of the unlikely participants from innocence to a coming of age through sacrifice, betrayal, passion, lust, unconditional love, and hope.

Escalation will appeal to fans of modern-day science fiction, paranormal, action, horror, and even romance.

 

If you haven’t downloaded Escalation: The Adventures of Chase Manhattan, I invite you to stop by the Amazon page, check out the reviews, and consider what I believe is far and away the best book of the Breakthrough series. CLICK HERE.

Special Announcement, Escalation Tour Schedule, and Amazon Reviews

Special Announcement: According to Space.com, a team of scientists will unveil what they bill as a "major discovery" in the field of astrophysics on Monday March 17 in a presentation at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. No one seems to know what it is, so stay tuned. Reference

 

What To Read: After 20 years of people telling me to read The Jaunt and Survivor Type from Stephen King, I finally downloaded The Skeleton Crew, King’s second collection of short stories. And loving every minute of my very limited downtime devoted to reading. The Jaunt is right up my alley.

2014 Celestial Calendar: Check out the 2014 Celestial Calendar tab at the top of this page. There are lots of really cool stuff on the immediate horizon. Amazing celestial events in the night time sky you can see with a cheap telescope or really good set of binoculars.
