New Books Network Interview
[image error]
Later tonight, I’m giving an interview to New Books Network (NPN) with host Jim Stein Jr. In the interview, we will discuss my new book, Bobby Ether and the Jade Academy, some of my favorite characters, and what compelled me to write the book. We’ll also discuss the book’s unique blend of spirituality and metaphysics. I will read an excerpt from one of my favorite scenes, and talk to Jim about how the book combines philosophy and science to create a unique world where people use the universal energy of life to perform paranormal feats.
The podcast will be available for download in a few days in the Fantasy & Adventure subcategory under Arts & Letters. Check back for more details on how to download and listen to the full interview.

Launch Day & Goodreads Giveaway
My book finally launched today and I couldn’t be happier (or much more exhausted). It’s been a long day full of calls and emails from family and friends all showering me with congratulations. Thank you to everyone who reached out. Your support has been amazing!
In celebration of the launch, I am giving away six signed copies of the book on Goodreads. Bobby Ether and the Jade Academy is a blend of fantasy and spiritual fiction. This fun, fast-paced adventure is aimed at teens but enjoyable by people of all ages. If you know a teen, or parent of a teenager, or a teacher, please help spread the word and get the book out there. I’m looking for reviews on my Amazon and Goodreads sites, as well as all the likes you can spare. Stop by Goodreads and sign up for your chance to win!

“Verdict: Author R. Scott Boyer merges science fiction with fantasy to fuel this wonderful story. There’s doubt and belief. There’s redemption and reward. But mostly there’s a thrilling ride: BOBBY ETHER AND THE JADE ACADEMY engages the mind while weaving a suspenseful, terrific story that delivers.” – IndieReader

Countdown to Pub Date
I saw my family on Sunday for Mother’s Day and my niece’s birthday. Naturally, a bunch of them asked about the upcoming book release. For some reason, it didn’t seem eminent at the time. Now, after talking to my publicist this morning, it’s finally starting to sink in.
Bobby Ether and the Jade Academy is due out in just ten days! Books are being shipped, events are being scheduled (more on that in future updates), bookmarkers and flyers are being printed.
I am incredibly excited. I am also anxious. This is my chance, my give-it-all-you-got moment. Hopefully, it’s the start of many more releases to come. Hopefully, you’ll come along for the ride. Find out more about this first book in a planned YA fantasy series at Koehler Books, or on my website at RScottBoyer.com.
“Tragedy, mystery, and suspense make this scientific coming-of-age story a fascinating read.” – Clarion Review, 5 stars
