Wherein Scalzi talks about Trek-science FAIL:

re: Alien probe in ST IV

10. GOTO Earth
20. INPUT "I can has humpback whalez?" A$
30. IF A$="no" THEN GOTO 40
40. DESTROY EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING

I am highly amused.

Of course, I totally don’t want Trek for the science wins, but it’s fun to poke fun.

How’s your Thursday?

Don’t forget to stop by JunoPalooza for a chance to win a book from one of our fabulous Juno authors or guest author Kimberly Frost!!

Yesterday, the Blood Lines series saw its 3rd rebirth, with the re-issue of the first book, Matters of the Blood. Sharing my release date, my buddy Kimberly Frost‘s 2nd book, Barely Bewitched.

To celebrate, I announced the Juno-palooza, a contest from several Juno authors. Today, a list of the prizes, including a donation by my release buddy, Kimberly. [ETA: Updated 8/26 with MORE prizes!]

PRIZES:

* your choice of one of Lori Devoti‘s books

* a copy of Matters of the Blood by Maria Lima (yours, truly)

Sweet, huh?

Contest is open until August 30, 2009. Get your quiz questions in…you know, like Jeopardy!(TM)

In celebration of the rebirth of my BLOOD LINES series and the continued success of all our Juno authors, several of us have banded together to offer free books.

The catch? 

The contest is the Juno version of Jeopardy!(TM) – We’ll give you the answer, you give us the questions. All the answers can be found either on the Juno Books site, Juno Books twitter account or Juno editor Paula Guran’s Facebook account…or, within our books.

Persons with the most correct answers will win FREE BOOKS!!!! (In case of ties, we’ll use the random number generator)

The contest will be open until August 30, 2009, after which we’ll count up the winners and notify you via email.

PRIZES:

* your choice of one of Lori Devoti’s books
* a copy of Vicious Circle by Linda Robertson

Contest!

…are inconclusive. Winning selection was the “Perhaps” answer. You all are as undecided as I am. ::g::

For now, I believe I will remain “chickwriter” and continue to ponder.

Keep an eye out for an upcoming multi-author Free Book Bonanza!! Several of us Juno authors are banding together.

I’ve been chickwriter for as long as I’ve had this journal – since November 2003. First, I was just re-connecting to my fannish roots. Then, I found amazing wonderful friends, equally amazing wonderful writing colleagues and well, now, nearly six years down the road and on the eve of the rebirth of the BLOOD LINES series, and on the eve of my birthday (in 3 weeks), I think perhaps it’s time to reinvent myself.

So, without further ado…

A Poll:

Oh, and keep on the lookout for an upcoming Free Book Friday Quiz!! (next week)

ETA: the re-branding will probably carry over to Twitter, just FYI.
