Kibbles And Bits

[image error] I’m receiving feedback for Breakthrough since I ran the two-day free download event. It is difficult to ascertain any patterns. Example: some have said there is not enough development of some characters.
My response is some characters are developed in Breakthrough while others in Opening. No way I could give all characters their due in book one as Breakthrough is not a cozy mystery. So be patient as characters fight for face time in Opening.
Then there are those who said there was too much ch...

[image error] Can you parody a show that's self-parodying? Watching Star Trek: The Animated Series
First of all, thanks to Stephen for having me today!
Let's talk about Star Trek: The Animated Series for a minute. I was not privy to this show when it originally aired, but recently I discovered it on the StarTrek.com website. If you're a fan, you need to go there. It's a very friendly place with deep archives and rich resources. Almost like the ship's computer, that. What a gem I found there in ST:TAS!
If y...

Galaxies

[image error] Galaxies are very cool. A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system that consists of stars, star clusters, stellar remnants, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and an important but poorly understood component tentatively dubbed dark matter.
It is estimated dark matter may make up as much as 90 percent of the mass of a galaxy. Dark matter is something scientist theorize probably exists, but the don’t know what it is or why it is. Hence the name dark matter.
There could be between...

A Special Thanks To My United Kingdom Friends

[image error] Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by and hope you had a great weekend!
Last week was a very busy one with the promos and all, and I was secluded  in a dark room away from everyone and everything. So I’m taking today off and spending the day with the fam at Disneyland (where we have anual passes). Thanks fam for your support. I couldn't do this without you! [image error]
I’d like to take a moment and thank all my British blogging friends from across The Pond and the former countries from where the sun...

Weekend Follies Twitter Style

[image error] Hi everyone, I’d like to extend another round of thanks to everyone who helped make the Breakthrough Breakout a success! The final tally: 8,071 total free downloads!!
Of course, the main objective of the event is to gain exposure. An increase sales should follow a free giveaway.
So I’ll do a Power Weekend Blast (Friday through Sunday are major buying days) and see how many copies of Breakthrough I can sell. I’ll use Twitter as my main driver. I’m only now beginning to realize the power of Twit...

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

[image error] All good things must come to an end. The Breakthrough Breakout Party is officially over. But no time to be sad. The event was a smashing success in every sense of the word! And I have you all to thank for this as there is no way I could accomplish this on my own.
My Mission: * Bring awareness to thousands of people who have never heard of my books. * Increase sales of Breakthrough and Opening after the promo is over. * Promote my next book Escalation, due late Fall 2012. * Drive new traffic t...

Top Ten Alien Movies

[image error] This Alien mini-series has been a lot of fun and I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have. There is so much more I could write. I may do a follow up post or two before the month is over.


So I thought I would take a few moments and lighten things up with a fun blog about my Top Ten Alien movies (with two bonus movies!) Here they are, in alphabetical Order:


Alien (1979) Alien is to outer space what Jaws is to the world's oceans, a terrifying beast that reminds us that the unknown can be a bru...

Aliens, Angels, and Demons

[image error] First, a Clarification: Thanks to everyone for signing up for my Breakthrough Breakout Book Giveaway June 18-19th when Breakthrough: The Adventures of Chase Manhattan will be available to download for FREE from Amazon! 


A few people have asked if there is an obligation of sorts for signing up with the Linky List. To clarify: No. There is no obligation to do anything. Just visiting and saying hello is all I’m asking.


That being said, in addition to signing up for the Breakthrough Breakout...
