Guest Post: Excerpt from Heaven’s Fate by Andre Alan (Pt. 2 of 2)

Welcome back to part two of two from author Andre Alan. For today’s piece, Andre has graciously provided an excerpt from his upcoming (hardcover and Ebook available everywhere on June 26, 2012) sci-fi/fantasy novel, Heaven’s Fate. Last Thursday, Andre gave us some insight into his writing process and the sources of his inspiration - today you can start to see how they’ve played out! Thanks again for the sneak-peek Andre, and best of luck with the book!

First, the hook:

Thame Elliot is Winter’s Legacy. On the planet Threa, in the human continent of Eioda, Thame is the one man everyone believes is prophesied to overthrow evil. Starting his journey to re-forge the Tundra Sword, a powerful relic from a time when demi-gods walked the planet, he is launched down a path that will either see him victorious as the hero or as the destroyer and the bringer of darkness. With the powerful ancient artifacts recovered from the Consummate of the Trust, events have been set in motion that will determine the fate of the heavens. All the while, secret societies and government agencies politic with elf and Orc diplomats that seek to control the world. Will Thame get revenge for his father’s murder? Will he live to fulfill the prophecy? The answers are written in Heaven’s Fate.

Book Review: The Darlings

Happy Book Review Tuesday everyone! We’ve got a bit of contemporary fiction today, for your review-reading pleasure. My review copy of The Darlings was provided courtesy of LuxuryReading.com, which also hosted the original (shorter) post of this book review on April 17, 2012 (available here).

The Darlings

Everybody seems to like learning about the “secret” lives of the rich and powerful. At least, it seems that way to me. Memoirs, tell-all biographies, bio-pics, television shows (reality and sit-com and drama) abound. The Darlings is Cristina Alger’s version.

A Memorial Day Tribute, Jill-Elizabeth Style

Today is a busy day, a busy day indeed. First, there’s the memorializing (in honor of the day), then there’s The Godson’s birthday party (Happy Birthday Jimmy!!), then there’s (hopefully) some much-needed R&R. So this is going to be a very short post, because I have places to go and things to do. But [...]

Turning on the Light Bulb

By Andre Alan

Since I told people that I will be writing a science fiction, fantasy novel titled Heaven’s Fate; people always ask me: how do I get my ideas and where did the idea for this particular book come from.

Book Review: Night of the Purple Moon by Scott Cramer

Happy Book Review Tuesday! Today we are traveling to an alterna-future, YA style. My review copy of Night of the Purple Moonwas graciously provided by the author, Scott Cramer.

The purple moon is a fabulous construct - and one I had to google to determine whether or not it did, in fact, exist (it appears it does not in science - although there are a startling number of things with the name “purple moon”, as you can see here if you are interested - and too lazy, I’m sorry, I mean BUSY, to run your own Google search. Teehee.). Scott Cramer’s purple moon is a phenomenon caused by cosmic dust left behind after the Earth travels through the tail of a comet. It’s also a harbinger - but no one knows this until after it occurs. The purple moon is the visual proof of the dust - and of the “space germs” carried in the dust. Space germs that have one deadly destination - adults (and older YA-types on the threshold of adulthood).
