Last stop of my tour! I’m at Mason’s site, Thoughts in Progress, confusing her mystery readers. (As in, what the heck is a science fiction writer doing here?) I talk about the origins of CassaStar and why we shouldn't forget older projects.And thanks for visiting Breakthrough Blogs yesterday!
This has been a wild journey and I appreciate everyone who’s come along for the ride. Thanks to everyone who’s supported my book release with posts and tweets and reviews and requesting my book at the local library. And purchasing CassaStar! (Hope you guys still like me after reading it.)
My contest for a copy of CassaStar ends Sunday at 9pm EST. Comment HERE and at just one of my guest posts to enter. (Don't forget to comment on a guest post! Several of you have entered but not commented on a post yet. That's a crappy way to lose out!) The full list is below. They are all awesome blogs – visit one that’s new to you!

I also made it through NaBloWriMo, with weekend posts counting as one. Come next April, I’ll be ready for another A-Z Challenge. Okay, Lee?
Coming this weekend – are you ready for a list of November’s movies? Well, are you?
And just because it's the last time I get to post it:
Whew! What a whirlwind. You'll have to spend the next couple days resting up so you can be ready for NaNoWriMo
ReplyDelete(you'd think they'd come up with a better acronym, that's just awkward...)
Vicki, you're right! I usually don't use acronyms, but that one is too long to spell out.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe NaBloWriMo is almost over . . . it feels like it just started! (the N-acronyms are hard to type; why don't they just call it something like NNWM?)
ReplyDeleteAwesome trailer, although I've said that before. :D
Congrats on finishing the October wriMO. I'm off to visit Mason.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to owning your book.
ReplyDeleteIf I win this, I want a very special autograph.
Congrats on a great blog tour! Lots of fun posts! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your blog tour is over already. A couple of days to re-group and you'll be starting NaNoWriMo!
ReplyDeleteNovember movies? How will you find the time? LOL.
Congratulations on getting through this with your brains intact. And now we jump right into nano!
ReplyDeleteyou will need a big wrapping paper to wrap this one up!
ReplyDeletei am going to have to take a breather, this has been a great tour... hopefully the support from all your friends and blogging post let you know we all care and hope all the best... for you and all you do...

ReplyDeleteYou put together a great tour, Alex!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a book trailer, and yours is amazing, Alex. Did you create it yourself? I'm in awe.
ReplyDeleteKeep enjoying.

This was a very successful tour--good job! Now to get thru NaNoWriMo. And April will be here before we know it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a 3rd of the way thru CassaStar--an interesting talent has just been revealed. Now I'm hooked on the story.

Tossing It Out
Congrats on the tour and may someone gift you with a massage :) All that hunching over a keyboard is bad for you. :D
ReplyDeleteJules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow
The end of your tour doesn't have to mean the end of posting your trailer. Wait a month or two then hit us again! It's good enough for a revival.
ReplyDeleteLaura, the A-Z Challenge was a blast!
ReplyDeleteAspring, I might just sleep this weekend!
Robin, no - my publisher created it.
Lee - cool! Knew you'd like that twist.
Karen, what the heck is young? Haven't been there for some time.
Thanks, Helen. I'll do that!
Wow congrats on finishing out the month!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Alex. And great trailer. I love it, no matter how many times I watch.
ReplyDeleteWhew! It’s over. Time to relax---NOT. Here comes NaNo. It was a great tour and I love reading each and every article.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Alex on an awesome virtual tour. This has been a smashing success. Simply smashing as the British would say.
ReplyDeleteStephen Tremp
Great job on your blog tour! And on NaBloWriMo!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Alex! Glad to hear everything's going so well! Looking forward to the movie list. Hope we get some good ones, ie: SKYLINE!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to need to pick your brain about how you organized and did all this digital tour stuff. You are my hero! Congrats on a successful launch.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol - I'm glad you enjoy it so much.
ReplyDeleteHolly, thanks - you visited every one I think!
Stephen - smashing!
Bryan, you KNOW that's on the list!
Thanks, Elana - I learned from some pros. Be glad to tell you anything!
I still like you after reading your book! I like sci-fi but hadn't read any in a while. I remembered why I loved it as well as fantasy.
ReplyDeleteI recommended it to my uncle because I KNOW he'll love it too.
Melissa - thank you! Thrilled you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAlex, congratulations on your book release. Wishing you much success. Thanks for including Thoughts in Progress on your tour.

Thoughts in Progress
This was the first time I watched your trailer! Pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would be exhausted after a virtual tour like yours. Good thing you're young and full of energy. :)
ReplyDeleteI watched the trailer a while back and seeing it again, after reading the book, made it so much more meaningful. Looking forward to the sequel!
ReplyDeleteThank you again, Mason!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, isn't it amazing? I still dig it.
Patricia, still don't know about this young thing...
Words Crafter, just happy you enjoyed the book!
Hey, who says it's the last time you can post your trailer? It's your blog and all...:)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Wait. Am I entered? I hope I am entered. I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI did request it for my library, but I might buy it too. We'll see how fast they get it in.
I just wanted to tell you that I think you ROCK! I bet you were on pins and needles (Do you still have your cuticles intact?)
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! Congrats on your new baby boy!
:)
(See ya November 5th--I can't wait!)
:)
This is my first time to come here.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog!

You must feel like you've been in a three-ring-circus!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Alex.
All the best.
Thanks, Karen!
ReplyDeleteCheeseboy, did you comment on the contest post and one other tour stop?
Thanks, Elizabeth! And hope the first topic on November 5 is easy.
Wendy, it's been wild - next week will seem so quiet.
