Favorite Quote + The Latest News on the Lasaran

Hello, all. Wherever you are, I hope you and your friends and loved ones are safe and well. Our mayor has issued a "Stay Home, Work Safe" order here in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus. I'm staying home and keeping busy. Books have always been a favorite escape of mine and for many of my fellow book lovers, too. So I'm steadily working on bringing you more stories and delving into some of my favorite comfort reads in my downtime.

Less than a month to go until the release of The Lasaran. Woohoo!! I had my first countdown giveaway on Facebook this week. Congratulations, Victoria C.! That was a fun bright spot. Since I know some people are worried about the safety of packages, I gave away an Amazon gift card and will likely give away more as the release date approaches. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Speaking of packages . . . The fun swag I designed for The Lasaran is supposed to arrive today. I'm being very careful with packages myself and probably won't open the boxes for a while. Either that or I'll wipe everything down with disinfecting wipes. ๐Ÿ˜€ But here's a preview of some of the goodies I'll eventually be giving away:


I also ordered some postcards, bookmarks, trading cards, and stickers. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Just another reminder: I'll be celebrating the release of The Lasaran with a fun Blog Tour.


Author's Taproom is hard at work planning it, and I'm already working on the author posts and interviews. There will be excerpts, fun facts, a dream cast, Top Five lists, a playlist, and even a character interview. There will also be a tour-wide giveaway. So if you're a blogger or bookstagrammer and would like to join the fun, you can sign up HERE.

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! Many Immortal Guardians fans expressed their excitement when I mentioned on social media that there would be some IG crossover in the new Aldebarian Alliance series. So today I thought I would share a micro-excerpt that will give you a glimpse of what some of my immortals are doing in The Lasaran

Don't worry if you're new to my books. You don't have to read the Immortal Guardians series to enjoy this one.

Beside her, Taelon chuckled.

Lisa glanced up at him. “What?”

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen your eyes so wide.”

“I can’t help it. I’ve never seen a spaceship before.”

“This isn’t the actual ship. It’s a transport designed to carry us to and from the planet. The ship itself wouldn’t fit in the clearing.”

And the shocks just kept coming.

Seth sheathed one of his swords and drew a cell phone from his back pocket. “Chris. It’s Seth. … Some of your contacts in the military and intelligence agencies have access to satellite data, correct, including that scrutinized by NORAD? … I want you to put them on alert. Tell them to keep an eye out for anything that may show up in David’s vicinity and quash it as soon as it arises if it does.” He listened for a moment. “An alien transport vessel just landed in his backyard. … No, I’m not shitting you. … That won’t be necessary. … Thank you.” Pocketing the phone, he glanced at David. “Well, that’s a call I never thought I’d have to make.”

David grunted.

    1. Haha, yeah I am going to guess Chris does not have something prepared for this based on that exchange with Seth! I bet his anxiety is start to climb lol. Now all I need is a reaction from Zach and of course Roland๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
