Nice to meet all you tan and beautiful people. I’m Greta the bartender from Fallon’s saloon. You guys met his niece, Raeth, a few months back. She’s one tough girl. Guess you gotta be with a hot-headed brother like Ryder.
Carol was gracious enough to allow me to stay in this paradise for a few days while I was checking in with the new recruits for the uprising, and I can’t believe this place. This must be like the Resort Territory Princess Semara is always going on about.
I told Carol I’ve been a fan of her ten things list since our spy, Ciara, introduced me to the Tiki Hut. If it’s good with you guys, I’m gonna tell you ten things I wish we had in the Mining Territory you got here.
1) Blue water that stretches as far as I can see.
2) Fruity drinks with little umbrellas.
3) Hot guys playing a game called volleyball.
4) Cool ocean breeze.
5) Hot lifeguards.
6) Cushy chairs that recline.
7) Plenty of food.
8) Birds that sing.
9) Sunsets over the ocean.
10) Boating.
Now, I’m gonna share ten things I don’t like about the Wasteland where I live.
1) Water that tastes like sulfur.
2) Wine and Verillian Juice that scorches your throat.
3) The queen’s visits to the territory.
4) Hot still air
5) Queen’s pig of a general.
6) Sparse wood furniture with dirty worn cushions.
7) Starving
8) Spiderats and Sermechtapedes that think I’m lunch.
9) Slave collars
10) Slavery

10) Slavery
Ten years after the great war of 2185 the queen's reign
is threatened by uprisings and fear. In celebration of my sixteenth birthday it
is my duty as princess to sacrifice a slave to be initiated into the ruling
council, solidifying my mother's empire. When my own erratic powers surface I'm
captured and tried for treason. Slaves hate me, my mother wants me executed,
and my only chance of survival rests in the hands of a young man, Ryder
Arteres, whose sister I sentenced to death.

Comments
Don't enter me - I got to read an early copy, so I already have Escapement.
Like your list of contrast Ciara!
So sorry again to hear about Ciara's computer, yikes.
Alex - I do agree. Even the sand seems less coarse.
L Diane Wolfe - Yes, they are much more pleasant.
Sia - Yes, you can relax on this beach. I don't even carry a weapon here.i
Julie - I'm afraid the uprising has called me back. I'll be returning to the Mining Territory by the end of the week.
Elizabeth - Yes, it does.
Carol - You told? Hmm...I hope Ciara can keep a secret. Fallon won't be too happy about that.
Rula - I think we should do some RNR rotation.
Greta
Congrats, Ciara, on yet another release! Looks good.
I'll take the comfort of the Tiki Hut and the eye candy too!
Congrats Ciara!
Happy Monday, Carol and Ciara!
Thank you and Ciara for another post which sets my acquisitive fingers and brain a-twitching.
Ciara - I can't imagine how you came up with something like a spiderat. Good job :)
(Don't enter me in the drawings. I already have and or won the books elsewhere.;)
Bummer to have your computer go, Ciara. Mine is on it's way out too and I'm hoping I can make it through A-Z.
Peace
Thanks, L.G.
Michelle, eye-candy is always top choice :)
LOL, Carol. Maybe I hoped he would care. He loves me, he just doesn't know it yet.
Clarissa, be glad you don't. They are nasty creatures with plates around their head, worm like body, and can run on a thousand legs.
M. Pax - Spider rats are so scary with their projecting legs, massive black, red-veined wings.
Absolutely, Golden Eagle.
Helena, it isn't pleasant but the people are amazing.
The Elephant's Child it is HOT int he Wasteland with non cooling ocean for relief.
Melissa, I wish that was a day in the life of a slave.
Manzanita - What is A-Z? I'll have to ask Ciara about that.
Southpaw, they are frightening.
Dwei, no worries. We totally understand.
Dezmond, spy. Be careful the Neumarian's will turn on Ciara if she steps up as a Queen. *shivers*
Nick, yes they are.
Media, I agree.
Thanks for hanging out at my blog the past couple days, Carol. It was a blast!
Hi, Carol!
Best of luck with Escapement, Ciara.
Julie
~Just Jill
Ciara - Thanks for blogging with me. I hope you had fun!
And I loved your list, too!
Hi Carol!
~Nas~
Yeah, water that tastes like sulfur isn't good for anyone.
Emily, I know Ciara is working on a borrowed machine at the moment. She is happy to have anything at the moment.
LD, smart lady.
Jay, I've been spoiled here. I can't imagine giving up these delicious beverages.
Conda, I think you should be pleased when you open your inbox today. ;)
Cherie, it is paradise here.
Greta
Tali, I agree.
