I Wrote a Book!!!

ANNOUNCEMENT! aka Where Has Geekgirl Been?

Okay, first of all, I'd like to apologize in advance for any typos in this post. I broke my finger so typing is currently a bit of a challenge. So if I miss any, I'm sorry!

But! the broken finger is not the subject of this post. It's just a hurdle to actually creating it.

So... some of you have been wondering where I went. I haven't blogged any book reviews in a loooong time. But there's a reason for that, I swear. Now, quiz time...

Who here remembers that time I wrote a book?

Yep, that emotional, stressful first attempt at NaNoWriMo, which included this little gem:

Yeah, not fun. But! I was successful. I wrote the book. And for five long years it has sat, watching waiting. And finally, FINALLY it will see the light of day.

Guest Post by Megan Crewe

Good Morning Everyone! I have a special treat for you today. I'm part of the blog tour for Megan Crewe's The Lives We Lost, and Megan has been kind enough to do a guest post for us.

Let Me Take You On A Journey
THE LIVES WE LOST isn't just a killer virus story or a post-apocalyptic story; it's also very much about a journey, as Kaelyn and her companions make their way halfway across the country in search of help they're not even sure they'll find. So I thought I'd share five of my favorite fictional journeys!

-THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY by Douglas Adams. Average guy ends up traveling space with some odd alien companions after Earth is destroyed to make way for an intergalactic highway. Kind of an aimless journey, often without a particular destination in mind, but such an enjoyable one. Adams is one of the few writers who can make me laugh out loud. And the snappy dialogue will give you lots of excellent quotations to borrow.

Curses and Smoke: A Novel of Pompeii
by Vicky Alvear Shecter

When your world blows apart, what will you hold onto?

Tag is a medical slave, doomed to spend his life healing his master's injured gladiators. But his warrior's heart yearns to fight in the gladiator ring himself and earn enough money to win his freedom.

Lucia is the daughter of Tag's owner, doomed by her father's greed to marry a much older Roman man. But she loves studying the natural world around her home in Pompeii, and lately she's been noticing some odd occurrences in the landscape: small lakes disappearing; a sulfurous smell in the air. . . .

When the two childhood friends reconnect, each with their own longings, they fall passionately in love. But as they plot their escape from the city, a patrician fighter reveals his own plans for them -- to Lucia's father, who imprisons Tag as punishment. Then an earthquake shakes Pompeii, in the first sign of the chaos to come. Will they be able to find e…
