Just a reminder, Dr. Derosa’s Resurrection is available on tapas.io for your reading enjoyment :D
It is with great joy that I announce my first young adult science-fiction book is NOW AVAILABLE through Tapas Media!
For Lindy Derosa, being the daughter of a mad scientist isn’t much fun. When her father was arrested for stealing cryogenic freezing technology in Trongodia, she was forced to immigrate from Asia and stay in Seattle with her Uncle Bruce—or rather, stay at the boarding school he put her in. This humdrum life at boarding school is left far behind, however, when Lindy discovers her father’s secret laboratory and the scientific legacy he left behind. Lindy will uncover the ugly conspiracy behind the mysterious plane crash that killed her mother, and find out that everyone in her family might be a little crazier than she ever realized. A bright young woman, Lindy knows that when life gives you a super-villain origin story… you roll with it.

I’ve only read 15 of these books, but all fourteen of them HAVE blown my mind. I’m going to need to check out the other ten, some of which I’ve never heard of before. Confederacy of Dunces has been on my mental TBR for years now...
The Sleepy Sickness of 1916
Encephalitis Lethargica (from Wikipedia): "The disease attacks the brain, leaving some victims in a statue-like condition, speechless and motionless. Between 1915 and 1926, an epidemic of encephalitis lethargica spread around the world; no recurrence of the epidemic has since been reported, though isolated cases continue to occur." ...until now. LAST MAN WAKING: my new short story has been published by Roar and Thunder in Australia and is free to read online! http://roarandthunder.com.au/
Found this online, uncredited. Does anyone know the author? I would like to shake his hand XD
I'm BACK (for real, this time, I swear)
I know I always tease like I’m going to start blogging, but this time I’m serious. And do you want to know how you can know that I’m serious? Because I just signed with a literary agency.
I am very eager to share the details of that with you, but I want this event to percolate a little before I pour you a big steaming cup of excitement. Let it suffice to say that I have signed the contract and now have a literary agent of my own who is going to work as a book rep and help me polish, publish, and promote one of my novels in the next few months.
In the mean time, I highly recommend that you check out Dr. Derosa’s Resurrection, which is published as part of the Summer 2013 Anthology. The folks at Mad Scientist Journal have been wonderful, and they bought my science-fiction novella in order to publish it serially. The collected story is now available (along with everything else published by the literary magazine this summer) on Smashwords and Amazon.com for $2.99. The story focuses on young Trongodian-born and American-raised Lindy Derosa, the now eighteen-year-old daughter of the cryogenist, Dr. Howard Derosa as she adventures internationally to finish her incarcerated father’s brilliant and illegal work.
Looking forward blogging more!
