Giving back to our Captain Alex!

Time to give back blog hop - Cheers for Alex J. Cavanaugh! Thanks to Mark KoopmansMorgan ShamyDavid Powers KingStephen Tremp for hosting!

Today we describe what we think the mysterious Alex looks like in 20 words or less - well, I heard a picture is worth a thousand words...
Rockin Starship Ninja Captain!

My name is Cavanaugh and I pilot a Cosbolt. I swear by my IWSG (ionic whirling space generator). Reliable. That’s what she is. Just like my wife, Second Lieutenant Ninja Cavanaugh. I wouldn’t trade my Cosbolt for anything. Not even a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Well, maybe for that.

Liam Neeson would be a perfect Alex...Isn't it strange that we know hardly anything about this guy except he writes killer sci fi, he loves rock and guitars, and he is blogtacular! I chose Liam Neeson because his roles are versatile, sci fi/fantasy, commanding leaders, and usually a good guy...consider:

Zeus (Wrath of the Titans)
Admiral Shane (Battleship)
Qui-Gon Jinn (Star Wars)
Hannibal (the A-Team)
Aslan (the Chronicles of Narnia)

The list is long and growing. A worthy comparison!

To add a bit of sweetness, I want to share this great review of CassaStar by Honey!

And one new blogfest to add to your calendar in the new year...

Join LG Keltner's celebration of your beginnings to start of 2013 right!

Yes, 2013 is right around the corner! Is it going to be a bad luck year? I don't even like saying it!

  1. Love the picture. Rockin Starship Ninja Captain!

    And Liam Neeson, perfect -- a very worthy comparison!
    Love reading all the choices for Alex, wondering what he thinks about our choices though...who would he choose?

    L G 's blogfest will be fun!!!

    And 2013 is going to be the best year yet. 13 is my lucky number!

  21. The picture is awesome. That really kind of is how I imagine him. What a nice thing to do for Alex by sharing that great review, as well. Yay.

    P.S. I always consider 13 a lucky #. 2012 has been pretty rough, so I am hoping 2013 is our lucky year. My son graduates in 2013, too. Class of '13, dun, dun, dun...
