Kai Leakes: Fearing No Evil
Today's Butler/Banks Tour author has a major Jones for books. We like her already. Fantasy, romance, general fiction--if it's in book form she's likely already hot on its trail.
As an author, though, she travels to the elder worlds. Introduce yourself to KAI LEAKES.
Things that go bump in the night sometimes taste the best.

M.D. -- Milton Davis -- This Man Is A Doctor
Are you digging the tour? Are you digging the Butler/Banks Book Blog Tour of Speculative Fiction? If you are, make some noise, because today Milton Davis is on deck. Sword and Soul. Steamfunk. And now YA. Milton Davis laughs at Morpheus' pitiful choice of red or blue pills and comes at you with a box of crayons like throwing stars. And Milton will be back later in the month with more to intrigue

Steamfunk Your Way To Freshness
I'm going to slide this name across the table and give you a moment to think things over: Balogun Ojetade. One of the driving forces behind the Butler/Banks Book Blog Tour. Steam/Dieselfunk pioneer. Likely a level 4 telepath.
Think on that a while.

Ragnarok Over Due To Awesomeness Of Pam Grier
This from my Facebook page: There’s about to be about a hundred thousand photos of people with Pam Grier uploaded to Facebook following her appearance in Detroit this past weekend. This right ‘chere is the only one that matters. ‘Cause, dammit, I got to sit at the head table with Pam Grier. Let me say it again ‘cause you ain’t heard me: I walk up, my name gets called, I say, “Huh?” they say “

They Can't Take Away...Your Freebie!
Glorious Revolutionaries, I am over at Goodreads with my cutoff shorts and my mesh muscle shirt. Head over there and get you some freebie love. One copy of the short story collection that just might turn the Zombie apocalypse into one of introspection and respect.

How To Be Happy Blog
First, accept that it is still possible.
Next, negate the excuses. They aren’t in the way of your happiness.
You are. Move your mind, body and actions to a different tile on the board.
Delete the ulterior motives. You want to write? Read, study, and write, but do
so without any desire for a blockbuster. That’s a heavy desire. Sucker looms.
You want to become a nurse-type?

Vader Space
Since WINTER WON’T @#%*#ING GO AWAY it got me thinking about
James Earl Jones in a long brunette wig (hotness; see Conan, Thulsa Doom),
which lead to Jones’ voice, which led to Star Wars, which led to Darth Vader,
which led to this staggering realization:
The only thing cool about Darth Vader was his voice.
It takes remarkably little time to break it down.
Pertinent Traits:
