Blue Musings

Since I like the Hobbits' practice of giving others gifts on one's birthday (today is mine!), and it seems like lots of folks like my ceramics, I thought I'd put those things together, along with a way to boost the signal about my novels.

If you've read something of mine and have enjoyed it, would you be willing to review it? How about talk it up with your friends and on social media?

Here's how it'll work:

New Reviews:
For a new  review of one of my books posted between now and 9/16, you get an entry (Please send me an email with a link to the review so I can enter you in the giveaway!)

Posts:
Talk up what you liked about one of my books in a post on social media for an entry. (Please send me an email with a link to the post so I can enter you in the giveaway!)

Engage:
This may be the easiest way of all to get an entry. :) Because you are subscribers to BlueMusings, simply reply to this email and say hi, to get an additional entry.

On the morning of 9/17, I'll do the random number thing and give away 7 dragonbelly mugs.

Why 7, you ask? Because on this birthday I turn 52. 5+2=7.

And this is open to anyone, anywhere on the planet.

Here are the 'elevator' pitches for each of my novels, along with a link to the full synopsis on my website. Please feel free to share these. They are deliberatly short to work as tweets.

Matt will do whatever it takes to avoid the violence of his visions. FUTURE TENSE http://ow.ly/S0NAk

When the Fae fight over Lydia, they didn't anticipate her stubborn humanity. THE BETWEEN http://ow.ly/S0NKP

When Aeon's madness threatens all, estranged sisters must fight the Fae who was once a friend. TIME AND TITHE http://ow.ly/S0Ogj

I just loaded a kiln today with a ton of new mugs and can't wait to share them with you!

Dreadnought and Shuttle

The work on Halcyone Space, book 3, continues. I'm at about 19,000 words, which is about at the 20% mark. Things are definitely starting to heat up for Ro & company!

I continue to share bits and pieces of the work in progress over on Google Plus in a collection of my 'saturday scenes', and on Medium, if you're interested in how the sausage is made. :)

I'm on track to finish the first draft late fall/early winter, with a projected publication date Summer of 2016.
