February Fundraiser for LC Evan's family...and a good book!

[terryr]

For the month of February, ALL royalties from this book will go to the family of fellow author LC Evans, who passed away in January, to help offset medical costs. We chose to use this book because it is similar in theme to "My Planet or Yours", the last book published by LC before her death. Description: Oregon naturalist Kent Xavier's midnight rescue of a damsel in distress turns into a race to keep his foundling-- a beautiful alien scientist-- out of the hands of alien-hunting government agencies. But when it's finally time for his ET to phone home, will he be able to let her go? From the Deschutes National Forest to beyond (at least from Bend to Eugene), Kent takes that one small step for Man even as he worries about becoming the next supermarket tabloid headline. This book was a 2003 EPIC Award finalist for Best Sci-Fi/Paranormal/Romance. A great read for the beach or a rainy afternoon. NOTE: I published the trade paper and Kindle versions at different times, and used my real name on the Kindle version, so Amazon didn't link the pages together. Most of the reviews are on the Paperback page.

[Nancy C. Johnson, Author]

Congratulations on your new book, T.M.!

I read the description and I see it's a charming, romantic story in which a man who's been burned by women meets a hot E.T. girl, who is also a scientist, and our hero attempts to save her from those on earth who would do her harm. (You descibe it much better than I just did...)

I will take a look at the sample. Looks like an enjoyable read.

Wishing you the best of luck with it!

The cover ties in nicely with your previous book too.

Terry, Now that's what I call an eye-catching lead in.
Good luck with Discovery.

Thank you, Nancy. However, Discovery isn't exactly a new book, it's been out since 2003 in three ebook formats and paperback.   It was released for Kindle this past winter. I just never got around to listing it here on the Book Bazaar, though.  Thanks again!

Terry, Now that's what I call an eye-catching lead in.
Good luck with Discovery.

Thank you, Steve. It's actually a line from the book. I thought it was pretty funny and attention getting, myself.

Hi T.M.  I know you know there drill but here's a quick recap of the rules and a link to Forum Decorum for your reference.

http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,36.0.html

We ask that authors have only one thread per Book, rather than start a new thread each time, it helps members who may be following you.  Please bookmark this thread so that you may find it again to update.

We also have a seven day rule, and ask that you bump (make back-to-back posts) no less than seven days apart.  You may, of course, respond to member posts at any time.  Once you do, it resets the clock and you must wait seven days...   

We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature.  Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, most of our authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows.  This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles!

Please let us know if you have any questions.

From one of the original editorial reviews for Discovery

DISCOVERY review from eBook Reviews Weekly
Dr. Kent Xavier was a man who had his life planned out to a T, that is if he got tenure and would then be called Professor instead of just Doctor. Rumor had it that he was next in line for the vacancy coming up in the fall. He loved everything about his life. Eugene, Oregon was the perfect place to live. He was doing what he loved and plans were being made to marry Lynn, who he adored. How could life that seemed so right go so wrong in a heartbeat?

Looking for adventure, romance or evidence of ET? You will find it here. Terran Moffat [note from T.M. Roy: I formerly published this book using that name] is a wonderful teller of tales. She captures your imagination to the degree that you feel you are right there with Kent Xavier in the wilds of Oregon.

The attention to detail paints a vivid picture in words as picturesque as any artist’s brush; even the emotions portrayed here seem to have texture.

This book is well worth your time, whether you’re looking for fantasy/sci-fi, adventure or romance…it has all three.

Rules for Meeting an Alien #438: Just because she sort of looks humanoid, never, ever assume she'd enjoy a shower after a few gritty days of evading government agents in the woods.


Now also available at Amazon UK!

Okay, I can't resist.  I'm buying.

[Betsy the Quilter]

TM, love the bump!  I'm in!  Plus we love books about blue chicks here on KB.

[terryr]

Why, thank you very much, Betsy and Scarlet.  I hope you both have fun reading the story. It's been fun for me to use actual lines from the novel as titles for this thread so far.  

[Contrary_N]

So, I notice your website claims you're currently having a sale if you buy via the site's store.  True?

It was, and since overlooking that in my last update was my error, I will be glad to send you a download link via PM for the LIT, PDB, or PDF version of this book. I don't yet have it in Mobi, if you prefer that and want to wait a bit, I can send you a download for that instead.

[Contrary_N]

Why thank you, kind Author-Person.  Links would be great!  I tried buying via the website, but noticed that the pre order-submission page listed the old price, so I thought I'd ask.  PDB format would be fine with me.

[terryr]

You have a PM, then.   Thanks.

[Contrary_N]

Thanks again!  I also picked up a copy of Convergence from Amazon (and am currently sampling Ms. Wiley's "Dead to Writes", btw).  Is there any update on when the sequel to Convergence may be available in ebook form? N ot to rush you or anything...

[telracs]

I finished this yesterday.  It was a fun read, and I really wanted to know what would happen to the characters.

Also, I want to know what happens to the baby to be!

I'm glad it worked out for you with the file for Discovery. And hope you like Ms. Wiley's sample, too.
JTN2 Gravity is still in final editing... still on track for a fall release. The eBook and print versions should be ready all about the same time. Thanks for asking.  It's reader interest that pushes me and lights a fire under my butt and that of my editors, as well.

Thanks for reading, Scarlet. I'm glad you made a connection with the characters. As for what happens in the immediate future of the hero and heroine... well, that hasn't been written. Although I have to say that the first real space opera-y type sci fi story I ever wrote, starting in high school (and with the idea I was writing/drawing my own comic book and not a novel book at first), features the people I like to think of as Povre's great-great-great-great etc. descendants. Whether or not that will ever be resurrected/continued remains to be scene... err, seen.

Our very own reigning Queen of Mean, the Princess of Photo-effects, told me she liked this book.

I don't see I should have to add anything else...      The Queen has spoken.

Thanks for looking!
Discovery - A Far Out Romance

[telracs]

thanks for reminding me, I must post a review...  so little time, so many heads to order chopped off.....

[terryr]

Random excerpt:


...He shook his head and staggered on. "d*mn it, Xavier, you’re a sucker and a half. A damsel in distress and its right back to Dudley Do-right and the sign taped to my back that says go ahead and kick me! And as for you …" he warned the inert female in his arms, "this is just until I figure out what to do with you."

Finishing the thankfully short distance to his campsite, he fell to his knees, managing to make it a controlled crash as the pack swung and took him off balance. His back burned and his shoulder ached. He let the pack drop to the ground and awarded it a snarl. What the hell did she have in it? Rocks? He was tempted to look but had an aversion to peeking in strange women’s handbags, or, in this case, backpacks. She probably carried the alien version of usual female things, like lipstick, mascara, at least ten credit cards with only one good to use, seventy pounds of old keys she had no idea opened or operated what, condoms, and mace.

The mace part made him pause. With his luck, the alien equivalent of mace would reduce him to pure carbon in less time than it would take to make a pass. Better keep the pack out of her reach for now...

[telracs]

You know, when I read this part, I wondered why he thought a FEMALE would be carrying condoms, isn't that the male's responsibility?

Discovery will be on sale through New Year's for only 99 cents!
Check out the gorgeous new cover on the Profile page

This title is also available at Amazon UK. It's been taking off there recently. It was at #75 in Science Fiction last week, nice to trump Stephen King.
