Nebula's Music is out today!



Here is the buy link
Here is the buy link on Amazon

This ebook is inspired by two things:

1. The character Data from Star Trek, The Next Generation. He is my all time favorite Star Trek character. I always remember this one scene where he plays the violin. He plays it perfectly, but without emotion. I wondered if a cyborg was made from real human parts, would it have emotions? Memories? And what if it was a woman and not a man?

2. The genre of space operas! I love Star Wars, Serenity, Star Trek, Star Gate, you name it. I wanted to create a world of my own with action, adventure, drama, romance. This is my first try.

Here is the blurb:

Each note brings her one step closer to the truth.

When the cyborg Nebula plays the piano she experiences memories from a time before her creation. These memories…which involve a captive rebel fighter being held on their ship…bring with them complex human feelings and awaken a desire for her to discover her origins.

Radian is the long lost love of the woman from which Nebula was made. He’s vowed to avenge his finance’s death and rescue her sister from the Gryphonites, a fierce race out to enslave the galaxy.

Nebula grapples with her identity and how much of who she is comes from someone else’s past. She is not the woman that died, yet she is undeniably drawn to Radian.

Together Nebula and Radian seek to rescue his fiancĂ©’s sister and end the Gryphonites’ cruel reign. But can Radian learn to love again and can Nebula accept a past made from someone else’s memories?


***As always, I'm looking for reviwers to post their review on their blogs and amazon. Is anyone interested?***

My Busy Weekend!

This weekend was all about flute! We had a wedding to play on Saturday morning at Castleton, (where my sister got married), a beautiful place in Windham NH for events and functions. It was 54 degrees! My flute felt like ice in my hands, so all of you out there wanting to get married in the morning in September in New Hampshire, you need to remember how cold it is and think of your poor musicians playing outside! (Nevermind the bridemaids dressed in short gowns...brrrrr)

Then, we rehearsed for three hours for our concert on Sunday at the Pleasant View Retirement Home. Pictures below:





The concert went very well, and we even managed to put someone to sleep! I think it's a compliment because our music was so calming. I'll have video up later so you can listen and even see the audience member falling asleep in the back! The rest of them recognized Eine Kleine, Sheep May Safely Graze, and Pachelbel's Canon. They had trouble recognizing the Air by Bach though. Maybe we'll pick something else for next time.

I also finished the third round of re writes for Nebula's Music. I've never reworked anything in this capacity and depth before. Lyrical Press really pushes their authors to turn out their best and that's awesome. I can't wait to see the finished product.

What did everyone else do this weekend???

Nebula's Music signed with Lyrical Press



This morning I got an email from Lyrical Press with an attachment. They sent an author contract for Nebula's Music!

Here is the link to their site.

After I jumped for joy, I read through the contract, added Lyrical Press to my favorites, and called my parents. I am so excited. Their website and book covers are visually stunning and they are on all the biggies like fictionwise and mobipocket.

I'll keep you updated on the release date and so forth. Thank you to my beta readers: Christine and Cherie, you guys really made me put my commas in the right places and took out all the embarassing mistakes like UPS instead of UPA for United Planets in Action. Can you imagine the UPS in outer space??? Good thing they caught that. Thanks guys.
