There is a lot of science in the Akrodaxis. It's a galaxy of space-faring species, so they depend on science every day just to exist. But not everyone has the same level of understanding and there are a few (like the skarastaja) who are just discovering what science is.

Guess what, fellow Albertans! If you live in or near Olds, you can visit Pandora's Boox to pick up a signed copy of The First Sin! They have five paperback copies in stock at their wonderful shop.

Please don’t give up!
Image: Tumblr post by mypoorfaves Text: If you're a creator and you needed to hear this today: You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something. People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it's because they're simply shy. Other times it's because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both. My point is, even if you barely have any likes or reblogs, don't get discouraged. You have a lot of silent fans, but they are still your fans. Keep on creating. Because there is always someone out there who will love what you have made.

LAST BOOK & LAST FOOD

The last book I read was The Backwards Knight by Matthew Siadak. It was pretty good!

The last food I ate (at the time of this being scheduled) was lemongrass chicken, rice, and a piece of banana bread.

If I discovered a secret library, the first thing I'd do is look for any leather-bound fantasy or scifi books. After that... I might try to see if my own book was in it!

I can't think of a book I've read that "ruined" me emotionally. I suppose that means I'm still on the hunt for one that really strikes me deep!

I won't quote the first line of the book I'm beta reading, but the first line of the book I want to read after that one is:

Some people never deserve redemption. Some sins are unforgivable. Some darkness is too black to be saved by the light.

A mockup of The First Sin by Cheyenne Brammah. The First Sin In the sweeping expanse of the Årdrakin Empire, the people fight and die for honor as elite warriors of the galaxy. But long ago, a prophecy was spoken that presaged the apocalypse. Everyone knows and fears the truth: one day, the empire will fall. Tårik is a guard for small, independent Clan Tsinna. Instead of pondering the end of his civilization, Tårik’s greatest concern is maintaining his honor while escorting a group of impertinent dignitaries across the treacherous Barren Gale. When the Mother Goddess speaks a passage from the prophecy to him, he has the good sense to be frightened, but he doesn’t heed the significance of Her visit. Then disaster strikes, and Tårik is branded as an exile, leaving him with no home, no honor, and no future. Forced into a desperate struggle for survival, all Tårik can focus on is living just one more day until luck—or maybe fate—gives him the opportunity to join a new clan. But even this is fraught with danger and uncertainty, and it takes him to an inhospitable world far from the empire where survival seems all but impossible. Faced with new challenges, including trying to navigate first contact with the low-tech locals, Tårik believes the prophecy can’t reach him. Yet it continues to loom, signaling that his fate and the fate of the empire are irrevocably entwined.
