Happy Release Day to DRAGON OF THE STARS!

Okay, so I've been hanging around in blogland for a while now. I can't even remember when Alex, Jen, and I did the the Great Blogging Experiment. In fact, my memory of it is a bit fuzzy. I can't believe that! Anyway, we did this big blogging thing about writing (specifics -- who needs them?) several years ago, and I've known Alex since then.

He's a great support to the blogging community, to writers, and he's a fantastic author himself. His new book, DRAGON OF THE STARS, comes out today!

Today!

About DRAGON OF THE STARS: The ship of legends…

The future is set for Lt. Commander Aden Pendar, son of a Hyrathian Duke. Poised to secure his own command and marriage to the queen’s daughter, he’ll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

But when the Alliance denies Hyrath’s claim on the planet of Kavil and declares war on their world, Aden finds his plans in disarray. Entrenched in battle and told he won’t make captain, Aden’s world begins to collapse. How will he salvage his career and future during Hyrath’s darkest hour?

One chance remains–the Dragon. Lost many years prior, the legendary ship’s unique weapon is Hyrath’s only hope. Can Aden find the Dragon, save his people, and prove he’s capable of commanding his own ship?

Check out Alex's blog here. Or the website for the book, What are the Kargrandes? And buy DRAGON OF THE STARS here! It sounds like a fantastic book, and I can't wait to get my copy.

It's A Book

Okay, so this little charming picture book was brought to my attention by my husband. He works in the district office, and he has the opportunity to be out in a lot of different schools (he serves 55 elementary schools!). He was out in a school somewhere, and the librarian showed him this book.

IT'S A BOOK by Lane Smith.

I'd never heard of it, but he came home and said he needed to buy it, stat. So we did. And it is a fantastic book for this digital age!

It has things like these:

Charming, right? And there's so much more, and a totally laugh-out-loud moment. I absolutely loved it! I hope you'll get your copy too, as much for yourself as to let your kids know that there are REAL BOOKS out there. :)
