Day 4 Winners: Kamron, Colleen, Karin, Kareni & Julie
For Day 4, I’ve got 5 copies of BREAKAWAY to give away 🙂
I am happy to say that I’ve just put BREAKAWAY on special offer for a few weeks, so it’s down to 99c (it’s usually $4.99) and so I’m going to give away 5 copies of BREAKAWAY today. Breakaway is the first full length book in my Verdant String series.
BREAKAWAY was a very fun book to write, and I am thrilled to share it with you!
One of the main features of the breakaway planet of Garmen, which is where all the action happens in Breakaway, is that it has a tethered way station. Science fiction writers have been writing about tethered way stations (or space elevators) at least since the 1920s, but now they look to be a serious consideration for the future of space exploration. I love it when fiction inspires reality 🙂
What is one thing you’ve read about in a book you wish could become a reality?
Magic! I just really love simple magic. Saying a word and light appears, calling the wind to move at your will, making fire appear, I just love it all and wish it was real. #childatheart
Oh, me, too, Kamron!
Congrats, Kamron, you are one of the 5 winners picked using random.org. I’ll be in touch to get you your book.
That everyone gets their HEA oh, and flying cars!
Flying cars would be awesome 🙂
Congratulations, Colleen. You are one of the winners. I’ll be in touch about your prize.
Not much, just everything that makes my life easy.
I already have a copy of your book, so don’t put my name into the draw, please.

It would be awesome if there were other habitable planets we could visit, without spending years and years traveling there.
Instantaneous transportation would be so handy!
Hi Karin, you’re a winner today! I’ll be in touch about your prize.
Thank you so much for the book! I am looking forward to reading it!
Teleportation has a very definite appeal these days (especially after standing in some very long lines at the airport!).
I hear you! My husband and I joked about it for years because our jobs often took us away from home. I included a joke about it in Dark Horse, my first SFR, just for fun 🙂
Hi Kareni, you are winner #4 out of 5. Congratulations, and I’ll be in touch about your prize.
Thank you so much, Michelle. The book is now on my Kindle. And happy holidays!
My family lives in Australia. I don’t. Beam me up, Scotty…and beam me over to my kid’s house so I can see my grandsons and great granddaughter, none of whom know their gramma. Teleportation or any kind of instant transportation that’s CHEAP.
Yes! I know my mum, who lives in the UK and would love to visit us more often in Australia, would love this too.
Just thinking about the scene towards the end of Dark Horse (Class 5 Series Book 1), where the h talks of having a teleporter (so they could have their argument and make up). @J. Lee Conaway, the alternative, from the Touchstone Trilogy books of Andrea K. Höst (an Australian writer), is to have your characters able to walk across gates in the world. Of course, that’s how the h managed to find herself in another world, while walking home from her high school O-levels (in Australia).
That would also answer @Karin’s desire to visit other habitable planets without spending years and years traveling there.
By the way, I already have a copy of Breakaway (but not the sequel), so please don’t include me in the drawing for it.
Thanks for building such interesting worlds in your books!
Esther, I just mentioned that scene when responding to Kareni’s comment 🙂
So many things! A world at peace, Transporters, replicators, space travel, and I could go on 🙂
Replicators would be good. I think as 3D printing becomes easier and cheaper, they’ll be almost like replicators.
Teleporting would be an amazing ability to have! Just imagining the ability to pop in and out at the snap of the fingers boggles the mind😄
I sense a theme here. We all want teleporters 🙂
Hi Julie, you are a winner! Congratulations, and I’ll be in touch about your prize.
Oh wow! Thank you, Michelle!
