I’m posting today on MA Church’s blog, http://machurch00.blogspot.com/?zx=e8a931504e7db561. I’ve written a blurb about my love affair with science fiction–and as a bonus there’s also one of my favorite Frank Frazetta pics. I’m also giving away another ebook, so check out the post and comment.
I’m on a mission to finish by Christmas — not sure I’ll make it, but I’ll certainly try.
I almost left this in a gnarly cliffhanger, but decided to write just a bit more to get you past that. So if you still think it ends in a cliffhanger, realize it’s not as bad as it could have been. 😉
Trying to meet my goal of finishing this by Christmas and I still have a bit more story — probably more than I think. So I’ll be posting more often. Enjoy.
Tali Spencer is hosting me today, http://talismania-brilliantdisguise.blogspot.com/?zx=65a477f3c92f3658. The theme of this post is themes. 🙂
There are more chances to win a free ebook as well, so stop by and comment.
I don’t know what I was thinking — apparently not thinking things through at all — in the last chapter when I stated the price for the electroregen treatment. I’ve realigned it with the 22nd century currency standards. I’ve also reworked the timeline a bit — too much is happening for it to all fit in between early December and Christmas, so I’ve backed the beginning of the story up by a couple of weeks. I may add a snippet about the steak dinner they shared falling on Thanksgiving Day of old (no longer celebrated in the 22nd century).
So, sorry about that. One of the hazards of reading chapter-by-chapter as I write is that things might shift around on you as the story develops. If this bothers you a lot, you can always just wait for me to publish the final version. 🙂 Or, better yet, let me know of any discrepancies you find.
I’d love to hear what you think of the story so far.
I’m blogging on LM Somerton’s site today, https://lmsomerton.wordpress.com/2014/11/22/jay-vaughn-takes-over-the-blog-today/.
Hop on over and check it out. I’m also giving away a couple more copies of The Valjevo Encounter or one of the Rough Boys novels, if you prefer.
Giveaway on Clare London’s site is over. Winners were Trish Sitotombe and ext_2022866. Congrats! I found and messaged Trish on Facebook, but ext_2022866 has yet to collect her/his prize. Please email me at jayvaughn@live.com and let me know what format you want.
I guess I’ll need to request people post their email addresses for prizes up front. My bad. I’m still learning this whole marketing bit.
I’ll be giving away lots more free copies of The Valjevo Encounter between now and the end of the year, so keep an eye on my blog to find out when and where.
As far as I can tell, no one has commented yet on my post on Clare London’s blog: http://clarelondon.livejournal.com/564686.html. Get on over there and get yourself a free copy of The Valjevo Encounter. Or, if you’ve already got one, I’ll give you something else.
I’m finally back to working on The Zone Wars, now called, “Christmas in Zonei”–I think I’ll keep this title. Find the story under the Novels menu–I moved it because it’s getting too long for a short story.
Enjoy.
I’m pimping The Valjevo Encounter on Clare London’s blog today. There’s also a chance to WIN a free copy of the book.
You might notice my blog is different today. The lovely artwork is courtesy of Alex Akira. I’ll give a free copy of The Valjevo Encounter to the first commenter who can guess who is depicted in my header reading a book. 🙂
