#REN3 Contributing Author Interview: Alex J. Cavanaugh
*ugh* I knew I forgot something today! Big apologies to Alex and any of your followers who popped by expecting to see your interview. Just got back from working 8 hours with a cold and congested sinuses so brain is mush.
So sorry, sorry, sorry…:multiple kowtows:
After much apologetic grovelling, here it is, the interview with Alex J. Cavanaugh, who very kindly donated a book for our blogfest prize pot:
Tell us about the book you are donating.
It's my first book, CassaStar, a science fiction space opera/adventure that came out a year ago:

To pilot the fleet's finest ship…
Few options remain for Byron, a talented young man with a troubled past and rebellious attitude. Slated to train as a Cosbolt pilot, Byron is determined to prove his worth and begin a new life. Much to his chagrin, Bassa, the toughest instructor in the fleet, takes notice of the young pilot. As war brews on the edge of space, Byron requires a navigator of exceptional quality to survive. Bassa must make a decision that could well decide the fate of both men. Will their skills be enough as they embark on a mission that may stretch their abilities to the limit?
And I'm happy to say the sequel, CassaFire, will be out on February 28th, 2012!
Why are you donating a book to this blogfest?
Because you and the other hosts rock!
Can you think of a genre, which is currently out of your comfort zone, that intrigues you enough to take up the challenge of writing in it?
I'd like to write commercials… Seriously, I've always enjoyed reading fantasy and would like to try it one day. The world building aspect is daunting though.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I'm known as Captain Ninja Alex to my blogger buddies. I enjoy movies, music, science fiction, tech toys, books, and gaming, and that tends to be what I blog about. I also host a lot of blogfests. Not what you'd expect from an author, but that's how I roll. Oddly enough, I have a large Ninja Army that seems to enjoy it…
What are your views on self-publishing vs traditional publishing?
Whichever works for the writer! I've seen a lot of my friends here go the self-publishing route and enjoy success. That may one day be the norm.
