The Jewel, The Sea, and Me
I'm ba-aack!
No break was ever enjoyed more than this one. By anyone. Maybe as much, but not more. I so needed it. I found my brain - it's working again. I'm relaxed. All is good :)
I may have been here
Or even here
But I definitely was not here
And today I'm happy to participate in the launch of
Archaeologist David Alexander investigates the cave where his father disappeared and hurtles into another world, one filled with magic and bizarre creatures. The mad ravings in his father's journals of icemen and dragons may not be fantasies after all.

Jewel of Shaylar
written by my bloggie friend, Laura Eno. Laura IS a jewel. If you haven't met her yet, go say hi. I've survived Tea with Laura's alter ego, Mistress Snark, twice. And twice partaken of Jezebel's punch. You'll love Laura. Trust me :)
Archaeologist David Alexander investigates the cave where his father disappeared and hurtles into another world, one filled with magic and bizarre creatures. The mad ravings in his father's journals of icemen and dragons may not be fantasies after all.
Convinced his father may still be alive, David begins a treacherous journey to find him and discover a way home. Along the way, he encounters a few unlikely friends. A Dreean warrior, a beautiful thief and a satyr join him as he searches.
David's arrival into this new world sets off an explosive chain reaction of events. Faced with powerful adversaries and few clues, he may not get the chance to rescue his father before disaster strikes, condemning both of them to death. Or worse.

A novel starring an archaeologist? That's always tempting!

Yay for Laura's book release! Wishing her much success! :-)
VR - It really is my desk. The secret is...I took everything off to dust it. And took the photo before I returned anything. Even the mouse and mousepad. I don't like clutter, but I do need tools :)

And yes, Laura's book looks amazing (which is certainly not unexpected). I plan/hope to read it next week.
And congrats to Laura!
Mary - I did :)
CATachresis - There may have been one hiding under the petunias....
Mark - Beaching it at least a few times a year keeps me sane :)

I gave you a shout-out on my guest post on the A to Z Challenge blog today. Just wanted to share how much I enjoyed your book promotion theme!
I'm glad you had a great break. It's good to have you back. This book sounds like it would make a wonderful read.

Brenda Kay - Thank you! Most readers that I've heard from so far are liking it.
Nas - I did!
Stina - I cheated. Almost everything was off my desk so I could clean it. Also, I don't have a door, so I'm forced to keep it somewhat presentable. But I make no apologies when I'm really working.
