Happy Release Day @AlexJCavanaugh! DRAGON OF THE STARS is here!

Today a whole bunch of us are popping the bubbly for the release of Alex J. Cavanaugh's fourth novel, Dragon of the Stars!! And this from a guy who never even intended to be a writer. He just can't help it---his talent and his muse, not to mention his fans, just won't let him stop.

After finishing his Cassa series, he wasn't sure he'd write another book. Then a super awesome song came along and inspired him. We can't have a party without music, right? So let's get this party started with the tune that's responsible for this shindig: 




Available today!

The future is set for Lt. Commander Aden Pendar, poised to secure his own command and marriage to the queen’s daughter. But when the Alliance declares war on their world, Aden finds his plans in disarray and told he won’t make captain. One chance remains–the Dragon. Lost many years prior, the legendary ship’s unique weapon is Hyrath’s only hope. Can Aden find the Dragon, save his people, and prove he’s capable of commanding his own ship?

After finding Mini-Alex in a dishwasher and oven, I guess this one is to be expected--a clothes dryer.

Happy Release Day for Alex indeed, Nicki! I think there are some sharp participants in the scavenger hunt today! My though WAS that he was on a large h'orderves plate about to be filled for a book launch party! But On second glance, I'll have to go with inside a clothes dryer. Maybe he has to dry out after a trip through the dishwasher on a no heat cycle!

Mini Alex looks like he's in the dryer. Can I have come to my house and do some folding? Congrats to Alex.

What is a party without music? Thanks for sharing the tune. Why is Mini-Alex in the dryer? Is he some kind of thrill seeker? At least he looks to be having fun.

Why is Mini-Alex in the dryer? Is he doing laundry and reading?

I think Mini-Alex is in the Dragon's escape pod. No gravity, so he's floating up at the ceiling.

Going for a ride in the dryer, eh? Oh, those thrill-seeking ninjas!

Mini Alex is doing chores again - drying clothes, it would seem.
Thanks for posting the song that inspired the book, Nicki! Authors' inspiration is always intriguing!

Clearly, Mini Alex is working on the main conduit so that the ship will not explode. There is a sensitive valve in there, needing a tweak. Good thing he's there to save the day.

I hope Mini-Alex gets out of the dryer before someone pops some clothes in there!

Getting dizzy on the spin cycle. Soon Mini-Alex's world will be upside down!

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
