Thanks to everyone who visited Damy at Daily Writes to see why critique partners rock.
My buddy George at Cinemarvellous is celebrating his birthday today! Yes, I thought it was Thursday. But today he’s posting his top ten favorite movies of 2011 to celebrate. Please go wish him a happy birthday!
Dreaming About Other Worlds posted a really thoughtful, in depth review of CassaFire on Thursday. All the major reviewers seem to echo the same thought – my books are throwbacks to the Golden Age of Science Fiction. I can live with that!
Yes, I did pre-order my iPad 3. Can't wait!
And to top off one heck of a blog tour, I’m almost to 1400 followers. Whoa! I remember when I had fourteen...
Earlier this week I got an email from the organizer of FandomFest2012 This convention attracts over ten thousand people and this year’s headliners are Timothy Zahn and Bruce Campbell.
The email? Would I like to attend and be one of the featured authors?
To have my name listed on a program with Zahn and Campbell? To be able to meet them in person, two of my heroes? Are you as shocked as I was???
Well, here’s where I’m really going to throw you for a loop. I declined.
Yes, I will one day regret it! But that weekend was already dedicated to a vacation I promised my wife back in January. She said she’d be willing to cancel, but I couldn’t do that. She’s watched me prepare for CassaFire’s launch, spending more and more time online. She’s hardly seen me for the past month. After all the sacrifices, the last thing I want to do is disappoint my wife. Besides, this isn’t going to be my career or anything.
So, I’m not going. But you know what – I was ASKED. And that’s really damn cool!
Special thanks to my buddy Edi at Edi’s Book Lighthouse - the organizer had seen my interactions with Edi and was very impressed. Plus I’m sure Edi put in a good word (or twenty) for me!
Trivia answers from Thursday
Quotes – name the movie:
1 – “I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sitting on the porch with my family, singing and dancing.” The Jerk
2 – “They don’t advertise for killers in the newspaper. That was my profession. Ex-cop…” Blade Runner
3 – “Where are you going, Mr. Fat Jack?” Splash
4 – “Badges? We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!” Blazing Saddles (It’s been in other movies, but that was MY source – awesome movie!)
Final Trivia – are you ready?
What is your name?
What is your quest?
Who’s ready to win that prize package? Winner will be announced on Monday! (And I’ll do a post about my blog tour – what worked, what didn’t.) Think I made the right decision about the convention? Get any questions right from Thursday? Understand the real meaning behind the three today? Anyone got a sponge? Think after two weeks of catching fire I’ve melted…
Now, go visit Sia McKye’s Thoughts Over Coffee!

happy friday, happy hunting and much success...
Instead of prize package, I might do with just a simple "thank you" for sharing your ad on my own blog, but I think you didn't notice that during these hot days, bro. :) Nice proceedings, though. I'm watching you eagerly.
Jeremy, knew you'd get it!
Selim, I just saw that - thank you! Both books as well. It was insane on February 28, trying to visit everyone participating in the Catch Fire party, so I'm sorry I missed your posts.
Gongratultions Alex on a fabulous tour. I'm sorry I wasn't here every day, but you know you have my love and adoration regardless of when/if if show up here.

I wish you much luck Dude. I hope all your publishing dreams for CassaFire come true. I hope you are happy with yourself, your writing career, your future potential.
The tour has been fun to follow; and your tidbits and insights intriguing. Go forth and make sales. Live your life and love your family and don't forget your true self in all the hubbub.
Thanks for sharing your journey with me; I am inspired.
.......dhole
To be asked is an honor and the fact you turned it down to fulfill your commitment to your wife is amazing :)
Wow, that was quite a choice you had to make. Could the vacation not have been moved? I agree the first priority to nurture the home life so if it came down to a choice you made the right one. But regardless, how exciting to be asked.

Thanks again for the mention, Alex. I'm turning 30 today, so this day is more than just another birthday to me.
Congrats on an amazing tour. You're one of the only authors I know who visits so many friends' blogs while busy with a book release and blog tour. You're a great friend.
And what an awesome husband you are picking your trip with your wife over the convention. Congrats on being asked.
Your wife is lucky to have you:) Congratulations on all your successes. It's great to see that.

Wow how amazing you got asked. That's cool you turned it down though, family first. :)
http://universalgibberish.blogspot.com/
that sound a whole lot like Monty Python and the Holy Grail to me. It's been a long time though. I need to watch that again.
It's been a fun couple of weeks for me following you around. I like how you rejected the con request to spend time with your wife, you're a stand up guy. Good job.
You turned down Bruce "The Chin" Campbell? For shame :P
Major kudos to your for keeping your promise though. What if you had the vacation at the con? It's an idea :)
Aw, thanks Donna! Glad you knew the Monty Python bit. And thanks for following my tour.
Wanda, it's something all right!
Nancy, I just couldn't keep pushing it back.
George happy birthday!
Thank you, Natalie.
Anna, family is first.
Rusty, you are correct. And thanks, I try.
Congrats on reaching the end of this fabulous tour of awesomeness. I ended up following the hosts that I haven't followed before. Very cool people.
Ah Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Love that movie and I think I need to rewatch.
You really are one of the best people I have encountered. Enjoy your vacation. :)
You won't regret your decision on passing to be a featured author. You did it for a valiant reason, which will only lend you a greater reward. :D

I'm really glad your tour went well and that it's almost over and you can rest. Have a great weekend!
So are you celebrating this week-end now that you have finished your tour? Hopping off to Sias place but before I go I need to ask you---Why Monty Python, and I am wondering now if there are certain similarities you need to discuss...ha ha ha. Really need to watch this again, been way to long!

Congrads on being asked to go to the convention. You will captivate the attendees. No doubt.

Thanks for the great new sites to check out. I clinked on them as I scrolled down.
Regarding the invite to the FandomFest. Do you realize what you did? Giving up that chance to go to that convention to be with your wife? You blew the top off my personal opinion of you and made every gal worth her weight in estrogen go “Oh that is so sweeeeeet!” *sniff*
And. Finally. Questions I can mostly answer.

Morgan, I've forgotten what that's like.
Thanks, Tracy!!
Sorry, Marian! I saw you were one of the attendees. I know, bummer. Tell Timothy Zhan I think he's awesome for me. His style of writing greatly influenced mine.

Favourite colours - black and all shades of Purple.
I referenced Monty Python in my post yesterday. Good times!
I'll answer the last questions--the color of new leaves in the spring.
Great post, as usual. So much to be entertained by!
Was that offer difficult to turn down? What a sweet husband you are to keep your promise!
Name: Nancy S. Thompson
Quest: To be a published author
Favorite color: Used to be green, but after spending the last 7+ years in the Pacific Northwest where everything is coated in moss, I'll pick blue, because I see so little of it in the sky.
Thanks for the party, Alex. Now go sleep it off!
As promised the first, but you're probably remembering this valuable offer.
great grand opening! and talk about popular, you must know everyone!
i'm tara, my quest is publication, and my fave color is purple
thanks for asking and have a great weekend!
I really want to win something. Please let me win!

You choose well, IMO. Conferences come and go, but a good woman is hard to find. Both of you probably need a break. I know I would.
I would love to win the prize package.

PS... the kid is holding his shoe (as if he's going for three points...)
I've enlarged the pic for those who sit in front of computers all day long:)
The final day already? What a great tour, Alex. Congrats! Glad you wore fire-retardant gear. :)
Way to make it through the tour without melting before now!
There is light at the end of the tunnel. :-D
Stopping over from the A to Z Challenge. I can't wait to start!!
P.S. Of course I'm your newest follower
Giggle, Laugh, Cry
Justine, it will be worth it!
DG, thanks, and hope you succeed in your quest.
Mark, oh my God, it is at 1400 now! And a shoe - never would've guessed.
Kerrie, thank you and welcome!
Putting your wife first? I don't know if i can condone that sort of behaviour.
Bravo to you for putting your wife first. But to be invited to that conference was quite the honor! I've spoken at two, and it is nerve-racking until you get on stage.
But Bruce Campbell? One of my treasure autographed posters is ARMY OF DARKNESS autographed by Bruce and Sam Raimi and the rest of the cast! Your wife is lucky and you are lucky to have such a wife! Roland
Oh, Dude! "I have no response to that."
(and can you name the movie that line is from?)
[But you'll have to email me if you know, since I can't sunscribe to your comments :(

Cool on the fest. You and your wife deserve the vacation though.
Roland, I know! I could've met him and Timothy Zahn...
Andrew, I think it's Joe vs. the Volcano, but wish I didn't know!
Thanks, Mary.
You've hit 1400! Congratulations! And wow, that is an honor to be asked to be an author at the convention. You are also a fabulous husband to decline and go on vacation with your wife.
I have the new Conan movie to watch this weekend. It will never live up to the original, but it might be amusing to watch.
After that story about Fandom Fest there isn't much else to comment on here. I refer to you as 'one of the Good Guys' for a lot of reasons, BUT your reason for turning down that opportunity, just shot you out into space.
SO, Mr.Good Guy - may all your righteous dreams and desires come true.
Finally, a trivia game I can win - I think.
Name~Eyes (for short) or FAE
Quest ~ to be the very best I can be.
Color ~ Green
Great Party!
The fact that you were asked is so flippin' cool. The fact that you declined because of a promise to your wife, just makes me respect you all the more.
You are an animal, Alex, in the best sense of the word. Congratulations on your epic book tour.
Haha! That line in The Jerk becomes all the more hilarious when one realizes that whiter-than-white Steve Martin speaks the line. What a preposterous film, but still so much fun.
Congrats on being asked. I'm sure it means a lot to your wife that you would turn that down to go on vacation with her. I hope you had a wonderful book/blog tour and hopefully now you can get some rest.
Congrats on a successful blog tour. You rock!
Happy Weekend :)

...finally questions I knew the answers to! I think you made the right decision - even now, you have your head screwed on and know what's important to you.
Huge congratulations on 1400 - that's so cool!
Lxxx
Congratulations on that epic ask, well done Alex.......
Sounds like you'll need a well earned rest after all this. Congratulations and good luck with it all. Awesome.
The questions have gone right over my head I'm afraid. Could it be to do with star trek and uniforms? LOL! See I've not got a clue ;O)
Congrats on everything, and I like how you can keep a promise. Things like that are important. :)
Thanks, Christine! And it's not memorable, but the new Conan is a fun watch.
Thank you, Faraway!
TS, thanks.
Matthew, there's no other film like it.
Laura, I try to keep my head on right.
Madeleine, it's from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Thank you, everyone!
Glad that you've had a chance to do so many wonderful things with CassaFire.
My hope is that you will NOT regret making the choice you made. Afterall, you know in your heart what is best. I have the sneaking suspicion this won't be your last invitation to this fest. Others are probably waiting in the wings as well.
Here are my answers:
What is your name? Daydreamer
What is your quest? To journey beyond the limitations life places around me. This box will become a circle.
What is your favorite color? Purple. I'm a girl. It's just so pretty :-) I could fold purple up and rest my head on it forever.
Congrats on the 1400 followers!

Your tour really interested me, I love how you had such different posts everywhere. I think I missed a couple of days, but I managed most of them :-)
You definitely made the right choice. Your wife will be there when films are but a distant memory ...
Woohoo! Can't wait to see who wins the prize package! :)
You are such a great husband, Alex. I'm sure you've a wonderful wife, too. There will be plenty more opportunities to speak at conferences. You made the right choice.
xoRobyn
Congrats on the amazing tour! Really, it was a huge success. You are too awesome, Alex ;)
Wow, you made it. Go put your feet up this weekend and unplug for awhile. You deserve it. :)
Holy cow, Alex! I finally have a moment to breathe and remembered to drop by to tell you congrats on your new book!!!!!! I am also heading over to say Happy Bday. I think I'm one step ahead of you, being beat and all. ;) I'm glad you had such an awesome launch. :D
To be or not to be and your wife won. She must be real happy.
You have arrived, Alex! Being asked is so cool--and you deserve it.
P.S. Can't wait to hear what you think about John (or is it Jack?) Carter.
Angela, I was told the invitation extends to next year! And your color answer made me chuckle.
Thanks, Donna!
Sarah, I tried to mix up the stops.
Thank you, Robyn.
LG, think I'll celebrate with a marathon of movies! Already began tonight by seeing John Carter - AWESOME by the way.
Thanks, Mel!
Spacerguy, I only want her to be happy.
It would have been hard to ask for a decision that more clearly highlighted balancing writing and family! I think you made the right decision.
Congratulations on reaching 1400+ followers! :)
Of course, it was short notice for the conference, but it would have been great. Still, it would have been a huge disappointment to not take that vacation with your wife. Congrats on being asked. You are already so successful.
OMG you declined meeting Bruce Campbell? The Bruce Campbell? Like Evil Dead and Burn Notice Bruce Campbell?
What is your name? marcy
What is your quest? to write books
What is your favorite color? purple no cornflower...AGH!
You're a good guy, Alex! Congrats on the invite! That's really exciting and well deserved. :)
You declined! You must have a terrific wife and she's a lucky gal too. Glad you survived the last two weeks. I see you're over 1400. Way to go.
Thank you, Golden.
Mary, just the invitation was an honor.
MsHatch - I know, I know!!!!!
Thanks, Jemi.
Susan, she is awesome.
It looks like you are over 1400 followers now! Yay!
The blog tour was awesome, and I hope you get to sleep in tomorrow from it. That's what I did when I finished mine. :)
Well you are now OVER 1400! Congrats Alex. You have an amazing run since the book release...and I am doing a modest review at my site today. I thought those questions had a Monte Python feel to them...loved that movie.
It is so cool that you are willing to turn down something like that for a commitment made previous to your wife. You're a good man Alex...going to Sia's real quick before I go write my CassaFire review.
You're very sweet to your wife... it's the kind of thing my hubby would do too:)
I've got my eye on the new ipad too... curious to know what you think of it once you get it.
Congrats to you for being asked, and congrats to your wife for having such a thoughtful husband! Wow 1400+ followers! Julie

It started in the night from Thursday to Friday.
I will answer your mail soon.
Anway I want to thank you for your kind words.
I think anyone who is happily married can understand your decision.
BUT as you wrote - the most important thin is that you have been asked.
I stay in contat with the organizer like I stay in contact with you. He is an author like you. And it makes me proud to know you both- even it is through internet only.
I'm sure this was not the last time that you got such a request.
Greetings to your wife who must happy to be married with a man like you and of course vice versa.
Green. No, blue!

Spectacular appearance McKye Sia's Thoughts Over Coffee. I like this cup.
You made it and can relax - if you still remember how to do that?
That's an incredible invite, I would pee my pants. TImothy Zahn!!
But kudos to you for putting your loved ones first and honoring your promise.
Yep. Putting the loved one's first is the most important thing! I love your blog, you know- it has so many cool things in it! Off to Sia's now.
Pasty, no!!!
Sarah, I know!
Thanks, Rick.
Congrats on the FandomFest2012 offer! Sorry you had to decline. And thank for visiting my blog. I appreciated you giving an ear to my rant. I'm still trying to get my blood pressure down.
Sounds like I missed a great tour!
Blue. No, yellow.
Aaaagghhh!!
Or is that the Castle Aaaagghh?
How sweet of you to keep your promise to your wife :-)
Just saw the Mayan/Hobbit poster. Wonderful!
Hey Alex! Am way behind on the blog readings, but wanted to stop and say CONGRATS on your book release. I've got it on my to get and read list.
AND--
EEEK on pre-order of the IPAD 3, lol! I have the first gen, this one has me thinking it time to upgrade?
Speaking of festivals, March 20th is 'Alien Abduction Day' celebrated in Toronto, Canada, aye.
Partiers are warned about the amped up Canadian beer, and to avoid being probed by little green men.
At first I was like whaaaat? You declined?! But then you explained the reason. And it is really, REALLY nice of you. I'm sure it makes your wife feel very special that you're putting her first :-)

I think you made an awesome decision. After all, family comes first. :) Plus, you could prolly really use a vacation. ;)
Doralynn, it was a lot of fun.
Deniz, feel free to grab the Hobbit button.
Thanks so much, Deb. Big difference between them - yours doesn't have a camera, video capability, super fast processor, etc. I got the second one as well, but ready for something even better.
Walter, that's funny!
Thanks, Rachel.
Jennie, I will be sharing.
PK, yes I could!
Congrats on the blog tour and the 1400+ followers! I hope you have a lovely vacation and I agree with everyone who says you took the right decision. It's really awesome that you're putting family first and just being invited is really cool.
Cant wait to hear your thoughts on the iPad 3!
You've been so busy, Alex! I'm amazed at how much you do. So pleased your blog tour went well. Hope you're relaxing this weekend.
I like that shirt with the cover of your book.
Thanks, Cat, and I can't wait to tell everyone about the iPad 3.
Talli, I am chilling!
Holy cow, Alex. 121 comments? How do you keep up? You're amazing.
A to Z question--there are 5 Sundays in April. We don't normally post on Sundays. I'm planning to double up letters one day. Is that the right approach?
Sending you a whoo hoo for the end to a cool blog tours for CassaFire. Popping over to the link.
I agree what a honor to be asked!!!
