I was also stunned when I hit 100 followers on Friday! Thanks everyone. I will draw a name soon and contact the person to be featured.
Saw this over at Jo Blo’s site - JJ Abrams is up to tricks again with his mystery flick, Super 8. Scariest Thing I Ever Saw is the website for this movie and there’s speculation that a trailer will appear on May 15. He got us with Cloverfield – and now he’s doing it again!
Everybody’s getting a reboot – look for a new Godzilla flick in 2012 and a prequel to Planet of the Apes called Rise of the Apes in 2011.
Arlee at Tossing It Out is hosting a Fifteen Fantasy Island Favorites blogfest. On Monday, May 17, we’ll be talking about our fifteen favorite albums. Arlee has a signup at his blog, so join in the fun.
For those of you looking for some interesting music with a science fiction twist – check out Star One.One of Arjen A. Lucassen’s many projects, Star One was a tribute to some of the great science fiction movies of recent times. Some of the songs are a little goofy – “The Eye of Ra” a tribute to Stargate – and some are awesome – “Master of Darkness” a tribute to Empire Strikes Back. If you like progressive rock with a science fiction twist, check it out at Arjen’s site and have a listen.
Now, go enjoy your weekend!
Oh, and thanks to everyone who gave their input Thursday. I now have a rough outline for the sequel to CassaStar and will begin working on it soon.
Congrats on 100+ followers! must be damn exciting, but then again, you earned it!
ReplyDeleteLike the new layout. It is new, right? Especially the header--that's what caught my attention right away.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 100 followers. I'm getting close too.
Thanks, Will!
ReplyDeleteMary, maybe we'll both have a 100 followers celebration next week. And the header is new - I was given permission to use it from my book cover.
I also like the new header,
ReplyDeleteenjoyed the post as always.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the mention and the followers! Sounds like it was a good week!
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is going as well.
Congrats on the 100 :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize they were making an Apes prequel - I always enjoyed the originals!
Lots of good news coming your way by the sounds. Thanks for keeping us updating and congrats on the 100 followers.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your book. It must have been a really nice surprise and a proud moment. And congratulations on your 100 too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elizabeth - they just keep appearing.
ReplyDeleteStephan, thanks - I appreciate that, dude.
Thanks so much everyone.
Jemi, you know Hollywood has no new ideas!
We can't buy the book yet can we? I intend to do so as soon as it's available. Maybe I should check Amazon to pre-order?
ReplyDeleteAmazon was no help at all! LOL ~ Maybe they know I'm broke!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on 100+! Are you doing a blog tour soon?
ReplyDeleteI call dibs!

congrats on getting 100 followers. I like your new header too. Great post as always.
ReplyDeleteBeth, the release date is October 19 - I will let you know the moment you can preorder. Thank so much.
ReplyDeleteMichele, thank you! I will need to set up a blog tour and would be honored to visit your site.
Wonderful writing & layout! My son and I love sci-fi! Glad I found your blog. I can learn so much from you!! :-) ~ Coreen
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a fresh take on Planet. I am a huge fan of of Tim Burton, but he screwed the pooch on that one.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a couple bits of good news. We writers live for those moments!
ReplyDeleteAlso great news that you have your outline for the sequel. I've been putting a lot of energy into outlining lately, and it's tough work!
Velvet, that's great to hear!
ReplyDeleteCheeseboy - yeah, he made the apes more human than the humans. Didn't care what happened to the humans, either.
India, thanks, and it can be!
Alex, I've just put up a list of my top commentators over at HOLLYWOOD SPY (in the sidebar), and guess who's on top :)
ReplyDeleteWild! Marko is closing in, though - let's see how long I can hang onto that top spot, Dez.
ReplyDeleteGreat Alex!
ReplyDeleteI am your 105th follower and I wish to be included in the draw, but best of all, be awarded with a book of your own work for my kids to enjoy!
It's my first time here, am I too demanding...lols!
Be following u...:) Thanks...:)
Thanks, Amity! Hope I can keep you entertained.
ReplyDeleteIt's the 1970's all over again-- they did the apes prequel movies already didn't they. And the most recent Apes movie didn't go over that well. But I've always liked all of the Apes movies to some extent.
ReplyDeleteKeep favorite albums to just 15 is not that easy. Oh what to get rid of from my list?

Glad to see you have an outline for bk2.
