Catch Fire Blog Party!

Greetings everyone!


Today is the Catch Fire Blog Party, celebrating the release of CassaFire by Alex J. Cavanaugh! The goal is to help CassaFire “catch fire” on the best seller charts and achieve the success of the first book, CassaStar. There’s also a special package of prizes being given away at the author’s blog (copies of CassaFire, CassaStar, tote bag, mug, and bookmarks) as well as book giveaways during his two-week blog tour. See Alex’s site for details.



The blog tour runs from February 27th until March 9th so visit his blog, stalk him over Blogland and comment as you go! If you wish to follow the party on Twitter you'll find it at #CatchFire.

Alex is a blogger extraordinaire, runs awesome blogfests and gives us all the lowdowns on latest movie releases. He finds time to write too! I enjoyed CassaStar and am looking forward to reading the sequel.

Here's the blurb for CassaFire:

CassaStar was just the beginning…

The Vindicarn War is a distant memory and Byron’s days of piloting Cosbolt fighters are over. He has kept the promise he made to his fallen mentor and friend - to probe space on an exploration vessel. Shuttle work is dull, but it’s a free and solitary existence. The senior officer is content with his life aboard the Rennather.

The detection of alien ruins sends the exploration ship to the distant planet of Tgren. If their scientists can decipher the language, they can unlock the secrets of this device. Is it a key to the Tgren’s civilization or a weapon of unimaginable power? Tensions mount as their new allies are suspicious of the Cassan’s technology and strange mental abilities.

To complicate matters, the Tgrens are showing signs of mental powers themselves; the strongest of which belongs to a pilot named Athee, a woman whose skills rival Byron’s unique abilities. Forced to train her mind and further develop her flying aptitude, he finds his patience strained. Add a reluctant friendship with a young scientist, and he feels invaded on every level. All Byron wanted was his privacy…

Creeping back...

Greetings everyone!

I cannot believe my last missive was posted in October last year! What a tumultuous few months it has been. Blogging, writing and anything remotely ceative has had to take a back seat until life resumed some kind of normality.

We moved house, which happened in a speedier way than expected. No major crisis there until a one-time friend turned into a monster and made our lives (and those of others) a nighmare. Oh boy - are they going to be a source for a future character! I felt frozen to anything apart from just getting on with the move.

Anyway, we're in a lovely new place, back in the South East (where we're both from) and I am so in love with writing I am bursting with new ideas and projects. I'm working on some short stories plus my romantic, glamorous novel set on a luxury yacht in the Mediterranean.

I missed the first anniversary of this blog as well as the warm interaction I had with the community. I've also joined Twitter and am connected with many of you there too (never thought it would happen to me, but fun and supportive nonetheless!)

I need to spend as much time as I can writing so this won't be the busiest blog every week and I can't wait to visit everyone to say hi.

I will be part of the extravaganza that is the promotion for 'Catch Fire' - Alex J Cavanaugh's new release, a promise is a promise after all!

Now, off to see what you've all been up to.... x
