This month has been a little crazy with a new release, a passing of a friend, blogging, and day job stuff. All of you have done so much for me. You’ve helped get me through some rough spots. Now it’s my turn to return the favor. Please let me know what I can do to help you feel secure. A shout out? A blog post? A friendly email? Anything, I’m here for you.

I’m SOOO excited about M. Pax’s new book, Backworlds III. The minute she referenced Firefly, I was completely hooked. Yep, I’m a total Browncoat. Heck, my Neumarian Chronicles series is totally inspired by Firefly.
Okay, here is Boomtown Craze (The Backworlds)!
In the far future, humanity settles the stars, bioengineering its descendents to survive in a harsh universe.
To secure his future, Craze must propel his world into a more prosperous era. Only days away from the grand opening of his new and improved tavern, he is confronted by a loony Backworlder intent on mucking up his plans. Gaunt and trembling, she claims her spaceship is possessed. She also has a connection to the underworld that shakes loose the dark past of one of Craze’s closest friends. It all threatens to end Craze’s prosperity before it begins.
Meanwhile off world, Captain Talos works desperately to outwit the mercenary Jixes and lure them away from his and Craze’s budding prospects. The mind-control weapon Talos uses against them is wearing thin, and his next move may be his last.
Will Craze and Talos’s efforts bring about a grand new age of boom or damn them to forever struggle in the dust?













Hey,
Glad to see you on the other side of what must have been the roughest weeks ever…
Hope you have a great week. You are always very supportive and have lots of bloggers/writers/friends who want to support you when you need a a hand.
Just keep doing what you’re doing! Your fun and informative posts always brighten up my inbox.
Thanks for the heads up on M Pax’s new book. I just love that the main character’s name is Craze. Some very creative concepts there!
Supporting each other is what it’s all about!
I understand how busy you can be! I feel your pain!
So glad to hear that you seem to be doing better. You are so kind to offer others encouragement. Me: looks like I’m in the final stages of line edits before my agent starts subbing me. Yeah, feeling a little insecure, right now.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Things like that put the rest of life’s trivialities in perspective.
And I do love Mary’s new cover. You both have such wonderful artwork on your books.
It was really fun to participate in your party!
Supporting each other is really what it’s all about and you’re very supportive, Ciara!
Yay for Browncoats!
I am sorry to hear about your friend! Yes, support rocks online, thanks to you and so many~
Browncoats made me smile
Thanks for being you!
Congrats to MPax..it sounds amazing-I am behind and need to play catch-up~
The book looks like a fun read – thank for the heads up on it. Glad you’ve survived the month and hope the next one makes up for the last
Delighted to help.
And congrats to Mary.
Here’s hoping things get better for you. Hang in there.
Congratulations to M Pax on her new book — it looks and sounds fab.
I am so happy just to see you stopping by on my blog, that’s support enough. I only wish I could have done more during your rough weeks and months.
Bad weeks seem to be going around! Glad to hear you’re on the other side of yours!
Firefly was referenced?? I gotta check this out.
Glad to hear the worst of the rough patch is over.
I feel so bad about your computer, I would be on freakout alley for the entire time. But you my friend are a strong lady!
Sorry to hear that. Life can be overwhelming somtimes. It’s nice that you have support. =)
ALways Happy to help any blogger out Ciara, especially one as talented and SWEET as you.
CONGRATS to Mary.
Seen her all week across the blogosphere!
Sorry to hear about the rough spots. Hope you get a chance to get some rest this month.
Ooh, a story inspried by Firefly?? I’m in! Thanks for sharing!
I think that M. Pax is absolutely brilliant to find a way to explore space opera in a fashion that will appeal to lovers of a well-known science fiction television series. I mean think about it…it’s hard to write space opera and not just rehash some episode of Battlestar Galactica.
Sorry about your friend, Ciara. That’s always so tough.
Congrats to Mary
You had a rough week. Thanks for the shout out, Ciara. And let me know whenever I can return the favor. I’m most happy to help you and others get the word out about their masterpieces.
Yay for Mary!
She’s burning up the blogosphere!
Congrats to Mary.
I hope you get through this rough patch and I’m glad there are supportive bloggers like you around.
