Un-POP-pable

Hey Everyone,
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

I just got back from our family vacation and I'm so happy to be home (will post pictures later this week). I hope it doesn't take too long to catch back up. It's going to get crazy fast around here. Sports crank up with football starting Monday, in addition to summer basketball training. At least baseball is over for a while!

I also have some exciting things happening for me this week.

First, I was welcomed home by boxes of Pop Travel books! Yay! And just in time for my Book Launch Party on Saturday, July 27!! I'm very nervous and excited about it. (Will tell you all how it goes.)

TODAY, I get to go to the SPACEDOCK with Mary Pax! I love her intergalactic interviews and now I get to do one. Yay!

I met Mary at the beginnings of my blogging venture and what captivates me most (other than her writing) are her summer star-gazing posts. This is her 6th year as a star guide! She always shares the most beautiful pictures from the observatory. I get to see spectacular sights through her eyes that I never would otherwise! And bonus: The gift shop now stocks her paperbacks!

Mary is a terrific, fellow sci fi author and today is the first day of the Blogger Book fair, with The Renaissance of Hetty Locklear on sale for 99 cents. She is also hosting a giveaway for copies of paperbacks and ebooks!

Currently, she's writing short stories, working on a fantasy novel, and in the homestretch on the fourth book in the Backworlds series. Not too busy, right? Ha!

Here is a blurb about The Renaissance of Hetty Locklear by M. Pax. (On sale! 99 cents!)

The journey into adulthood is stranger than she expects.
Graduation from community college isn’t the magic elixir Hetty Locklear counts on for becoming an adult. Her parents, who work the Renaissance fair circuit, insist she spend part of the summer with them. Hetty doubts pretending to live in the Middle Ages will help her find her way.
 To make it worse, an entity haunts her at her dead-end job, warning her of a dangerous man she doesn’t know. The ghost leads her to a lover who has a lot of secrets. He pulls her farther into peril and into a strange, hidden world of genetic experimentation.
New Adult Science Fiction Fantasy.

I hope you'll join us for a cosmic cocktail and cool company!

BOOOKS!!!!

Like actual books you can run your fingers through the pages and smell the ink. Ah, that must be glorious. I hope you get to enjoy them!

Holding your books is an awesome feeling. I felt quite good holding anthologies with my stories in them-- so this must be super!!

Wish you all the luck in the world, and a gazillion sales.

Such a great pic of you and your books!! You look so happy and it makes me smile just to see the pic. Congratulations!!!

I've had a conflict come up and might not be able to make the launch party but I will be cheering you on either way. Hope it's a huge success!
