Martian meteor shower & X-flare blackout
| Reprinted from Space Weather News http://spaceweather.comMARTIAN METEOR SHOWER: NASA and European spacecraft have detected evidence of a “spectacular” meteor shower on Mars caused by the close approach of Comet Siding Spring last month. If a human had been standing on the Red Planet at the time, they might have seen thousands of meteors per hour followed by a widespread yellow afterglow that lasted for days. Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information.
X-FLARE! Active sunspot AR2205 produced a potent X1-class solar flare on Nov. 7th, causing a strong HF radio blackout on the dayside of our planet. More X-flares are in the offing as the sunspot turns toward Earth this weekend. Visit http://spaceweather.com for updates. |

5 reasons to read The Labyrinth of Time
So many books, so little time! If you’re like me, there’s never enough time to read all the books that interest you. Here are five reasons why I think you should add my young adult contemporary fantasy novel, The Labyrinth of Time, to your reading list:*
5 — It’s cheaper than traveling to Peru. One reader commented how much fun it was to watch a travel show on Peru and recognize sites she’d just read about in the book.
4 – It won’t make you blush. One reviewer said it “is an absorbing fantasy novel, a clean read suitable for adults as well as teens…”
3 – It’s different. I love books with vampires, werewolves and magic as much as the next person, but sometimes a little variety is nice. Labyrinth features messages embedded in stones by an ancient race, aliens who travel on a comet spaceship, Peruvian shamans, and a shapeshifting dog.
2 – It will soon be available in all formats, even audio! You can already buy it online in both print and ebook formats. The audiobook will be available in December through Amazon Audible.
1 – It’s a birthday thing. I think even books deserve some special attention on their birthdays, don’t you? The Labyrinth of Time was born Nov. 7 into the cold, cruel world of publishing. Please help me find good homes for my newborn book!
*Okay, so I’m the author and a little biased. Get acquainted first and decide for yourself. Click here to read an EXCERPT
Often your local bookstores and even libraries will obtain a copy on your request. Or you can buy The Labyrinth of Time online at:
- Amazon (print and ebook)
- Smashwords
- Barnes & Noble (print and ebook)
- Apple iBooks
THE LABYRINTH OF TIME: When 16-year-old Jade Davis discovers only she and the son of a Peruvian museum director can telepathically access messages left on engraved stones by an ancient race, she embarks on a quest to save humanity from fiery destruction.
Oh, I almost forgot! Be sure to enter the worldwide Library Thing giveaway for one of 25 free ebook copies.
And I’m offering two paperback books in a giveaway on Goodreads ONLY for readers outside North America. Both giveaways end on Nov. 15, so don’t delay!
I hope to send at least a few copies to Peru!

Guest Post: Where Fact Meets Fantasy: Lunar Eclipses & Double Blue Moons
Today my guest post on “Where fact meets fantasy: Lunar eclipses and double blue moons” is featured on Sandra Ulbrich Almazan’s blog.
It delves into some of the research I did for The Labyrinth of Time regarding comets, lunar eclipses and double blue moons–topics central to the book.
My host, speculative fiction author Sandra Ulbrich Almazan, may be familiar to you as one of the cohosts of the Blog Ring of Power, which is featured most Mondays on this blog. Her indie works include the SF Catalyst Chronicles series (currently available: Lyon’s Legacy, “The Mommy Clone”, and Twinned Universes) and several unrelated fantasy short stories. Lyon’s Legacy and Twinned Universes are available in paper and eBook formats; her other short stories are all eBooks.
I hope you can stop by to learn more about Sandra and her work, as well as to get a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes in my new young adult contemporary fantasy.
Thanks, Sandra!

Library Thing ebook giveaway ends 11/15
|
If you like young adult contemporary fantasy, check out my Library Thing member giveaway of THE LABYRIN I will send 25 winners a Smashwords coupon to allow them to obtain the ebook format of their choice. Reviews–here, on Amazon, Goodreads and/or Barnes & Noble–would be greatly appreciated! THE LABYRINTH OF TIME: Can Jade restore the Firestone’s powers before the First Men return to judge humanity? Spending spring break in Peru with her grandmother isn’t sixteen-year-old Jade’s idea of fun. She’d much rather be with her friends at Lake of the Ozarks. Then she meets Felix, a museum director’s son. Jade discovers only she and Felix can telepathically access messages left on engraved stones in the age of dinosaurs. Following the ancient stones’ guidance, they enter the Labyrinth of Time and–with a shapeshifting dog’s help–seek a red crystal called the Firestone. But time is running out before the First Men return on the night of the second blue moon. |
