Billy O’Keefe liked a chapter from The Lights In the Sky

Dad drove me up to the front sidewalk of the school. There was a whole line of cars there as usual. In a school that small, I know pretty much everybody. All the familiar students walked past the truck and up to the front doors. I hardly even noticed them or recognized their faces. It felt like the blood was all draining down to my feet; my head was light. My hands even began to shake a little bit. Dad didn’t say anything, he just stared forward.

“So do we just pretend n. . .

    Billy O’Keefe recommended To Live and Die in Avalon
    Had me at "a retro-futurist pulp super-spy space opera."

    Can a reckless secret agent and a time-displaced scientist from the sixties stop a fanatical empire from toppling humanity’s fledgling utopia?
    Billy O’Keefe recommended The Traveller’s Cup
    Sounds like a dangerous lottery to win. Looking forward to reading more.
    The Traveler’s Cup
    When Damaus put his name in for the Traveler’s Cup he wasn’t expecting to be chosen.

    Billy O’Keefe liked an update for She Is the End
    Shhh, guys, listen: I’m not supposed to be updating you on anything.

    The fantastic and notably gorgeous Leah Westra, my promoter friend, is making me editing progress update graphs and posting them on my facebook page HERE (please like if you are inclined), and I’m writing a little log about my progress which I’ll be sharing soon... but other than that, I’m supposed to be mum.

    BUT!!!

    There’s a new Nerdist contest running RIGHT NOW and it’s SPACE OPERA THEMED!!!



    So, welcome to all my new followers; I love you each individually and as a group, and I wish you nothing but success. I wish I could just buy 750 copies of each of your books, but that wouldn’t be building an audience, would it???

    I can help by recommending some of these books, though!

    Rogue by Allison Darhun - A young fighter pilot is faced with a decision that will change not only her life, but the lives of billions.

    What is this one about? "...obviously science fiction, a strong female character, an entirely new world that is still somewhat recognizable, a lil bit of romance (but one that definitely doesn’t take over the plot because no one wants that), a pretty snazzy escape attempt, rad friendships, and parallels to things happening today," according to the author.

    A snazzy! Escape! Attempt! Rad friendships! Parallels! I die, I die, I die! GIVE ME THIS BOOK.
    They Are the Last by Elayna Mae Darcy - All Piper wanted was to escape the tortures of Edgemont, but when her godmother returns to rescue her, she finds herself on an epic journey to master her Light and save the world she comes from, that she never knew existed.

    It’s a YA space opera with a, shall we say, admirable title? We need more love for YA on Inkshares!

    Infinity Mind by Patrick Jamison - Slave to an oppressive government on a Martian colony, Mason, a telepathic assassin, must break his conditioning before he murders his wife.

    I’m a sucker for anything set on Mars, and I’m a sucker for rebels fighting oppressive governments, OKAY? I know what I’m about.

    Consider ordering one of these books, my dear friends, and you might make an author’s dreams come true.

    NOW BACK TO WORK!

    :)
