Moonpennies, Exclusive Cover Reveal, Woven Is Now On Goodreads, and Author's Think Tank Interview!

I'm going to hold up the flow of sci-fi and fantasy awesomeness to share the news that a good friend of mine, clear back from middle school, Alanna Rosette, has entered the indie scene with her first contemporary romance book, Moonpennies. How cool is that?

Lina Daniels was eleven years old when her mother divulged that true love doesn't exist and heartbreak is inevitable. Now a late-twenties struggling writer, Lina is terrified of opening her heart to anyone. She fumbles through life, battling bouts of depression and avoiding real relationships at all costs...until one too many glasses of wine at a New Year's Eve party undermines her resolve.

She ends up in the arms of an irresistible prospect and decides to give love a chance.

The better judgment of her best friends tells her he's not the right guy. But finding the courage to fall in love is only the beginning of Lina's journey. Uncharted risks and bold mistakes open her eyes to a life-changing realization. She may learn her mother was right about the certainty of heartbreak. Yet she may also find that true love does exist, and it makes the heartbreak worthwhile.

Update: writing, writing, and more writing - that's the life for me!

It's pretty much my endgame this week: finish a novelette and get crackin' on the final lap of The Undead Road. If the Universe is willing, I'll have it all done in time to watch more Merlin. I'm so hooked and way behind on that show - so don't spoil it for me!

I have a very special guest ready for you this week, so be sure a report back soon - a full plate of cosmic crullers await you!

I'm David, and THIS is every astronaut's worst nightmare ...
