#Science #Fiction #Fantasy Saturday #62

Hello! *waves* Welcome back to another round of #sffsat snippets. Last week we left my young hero all disorientated and slumped in an Underway...and I'm afraid that's exactly where he's going to stay. Heh heh! Mean, I know. Instead, I want to share a snippet from my scifi romance short story Imprint, due to be part of the Tales from the SFR Brigade - a FREE anthology of science fiction romance stories, including one by Linnea Sinclair (squeee!) - that should be releasing at midsummer. I'm so...

#Science #Fiction #Fantasy Saturday #61

Hello! *waves* Welcome to another #sffsat snippet and thanks for all the lovely comments last week. I'm staying with my young hero today, and things just keep on getting worse for poor Gethyon. Surely something good has got to happen?!

   An Underway opened beneath his feet and he charged into it, almost tumbling down the gentle slope in his haste and confusion. He knocked into someone who shoved back with a cry of protest, which sent him crashing down the last stretch to sprawl acro...

Gethyon - #1 Bestseller at OmnilitHello again! Thanks for all the lovely comments and congrats last week - they were awesome. I had great news this week - not only did Gethyon go up at Omnilit for pre-order, but 12 hours later it hit number one on the bestsellers list. Squee! It isn't even out yet! But just two more days until release. :)
So, last week my young hero had arrived in the middle of somewhere by means unknown. But he's not given any chance to get his bearings...

“Hey!”

One Man, a #Violin and a Laptop (#music)

Over the past few years I've been privileged in meeting some very talented people. None more so than Ian Peaston, a musician and author of epic scifi at whoiskai.com. Last year I flew from Essex to Edinburgh to watch him perform at the Fringe as essens:1 with clarinet player Per Johansson. This year Ian went solo at the Brighton Fringe as Violin Variations. Here he is on stage!

Hump Day Hook #1

A Scifi Romance Novel from Lyrical PressHello! *waves* This is my first time on HDH so I hope you'll forgive any newbie mistakes. I'm taking a snippet from my sfr novel Keir to share with you. My hero has just undergone a bit of an awakening in regard to the heroine of the story.

No. Shame burned his skin. Quin was his friend, the first he had ever had. The first person to show him kindness in more years than he could count. Yet at that moment he wanted more. For the first time in remembrance...

Gethyon - available to pre-order! #YA #NA #scifi #adventure

Last night I got a surprise. An email from All Romance eBooks saying that Gethyon was available to buy. I was stunned! Firstly I wasn't expecting a sales link so early - Gethyon doesn't officially release until the 3rd of June - but also because it isn't a romance. So I clicked the link to check it out...and got a 'page not found' error. Horrors! A search gave me nada. After much panicking, a friend finally found it on Omnilit. Phew!

So, you can now pre-order Gethyon via Omnilit here. Yay!And...

Upcoming Release - Gethyon #YA #scifi #adventure

One week today! One week, and my second published novel will be out there to buy, on the virtual shelves of the internet retailers. Woo hoo! What does that mean for you? It means you'll finally be able to get your hands on Gethyon! Isn't he cute?! It also means a month long virtual tour with me chatting about different elements of the story and giving away goodies. Lots 'n lots of goodies! Wanna see? Look!
