Interviewed by a SF Adventurer

Just a quickie to let you know that I've been interviewed by AR Norris, fellow SFR writer and space adventurer.  A few weeks ago, you'll remember I interviewed her, and now, I take my place in the hot seat.  Stop by her blog, Adventures of a Sci-Fi Writer, and check it out.

Cheers!

Six Sentence Sunday - July 17

Wow, a week certainly flies.  Once again, it's Six Sunday...and I wasn't going to participate this weekend, saying that I'm travelling.  But, considering that I'm already travelled, and here...  So, here it is, a short snippet from the newly released The Master Key.


It was early morning, not yet seven, and Adam still lounged in his robes. Solitary confinement had somewhat diminished his strict wardrobe habits, causing him to spend half the day in his sleepwear before he showered and made himself ready for evening. Dinner was still something that he made sure he was properly attired for—despite eating alone.

Hmm, who's this Adam dude?  If you haven't read The Lancaster Rule, you've no idea.  Don't worry, though, his character is explained in The Master Key.

Thanks again to everyone who drops by to read these tasty snippets and leaving wonderful comments.

If you want to know a little bit more about The Master Key, here's a little non-blurb:
In this second book of the trilogy, the heroine, Josie, now married to world president John Lancaster, and begins her new life in the future. But all is not idyllic as a dangerous man from her past returns as old enemies return to plague her life.
Revelations of Josie's past, three hundred years ago, surface and begin to unfold, every question she has ever wanted to know is answered. Events lead her to the Scrap Yard, a cybernetics space station where she must battle it out with her enemies.

Gearing Down Part II

It's amazing how perceptions change depending on what you're doing.  Take for instance, the length of a week.  That's seven days in total, 24-hours in each day, etc, etc...  When you're doing nothing, time drags its lazy ass ad nauseam into infinity and beyond.  Catch yourself trying to fill up those dull days with multiple things to do, it flies past at the speed of light and then some!

Now, usually, when I'm busy, there's just not enough hours in the day to complete things, so I usually end up putting things off until the next day, then the next day, and well...you get the point.  Did I also mention I'm the Queen of Procrastination?  That's a whole other story, of course...I'll tell it to you tomorrow (haha, see!).  But anyways, this week, I envisioned it to fly by at said speed of light, since it's the week prior to our annual holiday.  So multiple things need doing, as we all know, before embarking on a vacay...like pre-paying bills in advance, making sure the person looking after your pets know the drill, eating out stuff from the fridge that won't survive 2 weeks of you not watching it spoil, that sort of stuff.  Then there's sending out emails and making calls to your business clients, telling them if they need stuff done, well, don't wait till the last minute or they might get an ear-full of excuses.  And somewhere between all that junk, you have to keep remembering to promote your recently published book, ad nauseam.  (Buy The Master Key, buy The Master Key...there, I've promoted).

But for some strange, unexplainable reason, all the above have already been taken care of, and time is dragging its lazy, ad nauseam, into infinity and beyond.  Friday never took so long to come around.  But I suppose, that's a world-wide phenomenon, and why the term TGIF materialized.

I've geared down since Monday, even pre-paid my bills (thank the electronic gods for internet banking!), told all my clients to...well, you know.  I've organized pet-sitter duties waaay since the end of last month (handy to have friendly neighbours), and yakked non-stop about my new release.  (The Master Key, The Master Key!!).  I even completed a WIP and sent it out to a few beta-readers.

What do I do now, but wait.

So, as I wait, idleness has struck me stupid that I spend most days just sitting in front the computer out of sheer habit (Hey, found a new game to play on Facebook...just saying), and counting off the days until Friday, which seems to think I need to spend more time rolling back my eyes in mind-numbing dulldom...  And thinking up this truly awe-inspiring blog, which hopes that by the end of reading it, you'll be so inspired to buy my book (The Master Key, The Master Key!!) and follow my blog and tell all your friends about me.

Well, that's all for now.  I've signed up for another Six Sentence Sunday, so, hopefully you'll come back then and read a short snippet from THE MASTER KEY!! THE MASTER KEY!!

Cheers!

Six Sentence Sunday - July 10

Six Sunday again!  What a busy week it's been - what with the release of The Master Key and all.  Woohoo!!  So, to keep shouting out its release, here, once again, is a snippet from it.

“My instructions are to deal directly with you. Should you not cooperate, or prove not to be who you appear to be, I am to kill the cook and anyone who interferes.”

“Leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with any of it.” Josie spoke for the first time, steel in her voice. She flicked a glance to Mrs. Patel, who stood rooted in a corner, pressed up against a bookcase to their right, and staring wide-eyed at the man.

“That is the point. Innocence sometimes can be such a burden.”

Oooh, wonder what will happen next!  Why don't you check out The Master Key... Hey, did I mention its up on Kindle too?

Six Sentence Sunday - July 03

It's Six Sunday again!  I missed out last Sunday mainly because I clean forgot!!  Oopsie.
Thanks again to everyone who drops by to read these tasty snippets and leaving wonderful comments.


For today's Six, I'll once again be teasing you with a little treat from The Master Key which is due out THIS MONTH!! Tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken (Sequel to The Lancaster Rule)

Xiang, the messenger, a fifty-odd year old mentally retarded man had been detained, questioned, found insensible, and sent to the clinic’s head trauma unit for observation. No one could’ve guessed that in two days time, he would be found dead in his room from a slow-working poison.

Hmm, wondering how Xiang got himself mixed up being a doomed messenger?  Why don't you check out The Master Key, out TOMORROW from Champagne Books!!!
