Pop Travel Review

At what price is fast transit? What is the lure? Convenience? Speed?

Certain suicide?

Pop Travel by Tara Tyler is a novel that starts with a disappearance and ends with a private detective’s assessment whether pop travel, a teleportation device that gets you there fast, is safe.

Cooper doesn’t want the case. He believes his wannabe client is going off the deep end. But his superficial investigation turns up evidence that grabs his attention. And then he can’t let go. For the safety of his life as well as those around him.

Ms. Tyler’s debut novel is a gem among sci-fi enthusiasts, a whodunit combined with science, definitely a winner. The action pulls the reader in from the first page and never gives up until The End appears. In my case after midnight. All the elements were there to ruin my sleep and leave me bleary-eyed the next day.

Excellent read. A fine new author. Do not miss this one.

The Thrill of It All, Tara Tyler

Blogfest!

Tara Tyler and Heather M. Gardner are sponsoring The Thrill of It All blogfest today. 


In line with their rules, I am posting an excerpt from my current wip, book two of The Magic Withheld:

Darcy gasped. “You know,” she whispered. “How?”

“That you’re a mage?”

She nodded mutely.

“Easy,” Bert said. “I can see the colors.”

“Colors?”

“Oh, that’s right. You can’t see them can you. Well, let’s see.” He tipped his head and looked at the swirls over her head with narrowed eyes. The tempo had slowed into lazy arcs now. “You are proficient in Water. That’s the red. The blue is Air. And that sparkly stuff looking like tinsel from an old-style Christmas tree means you got a smidge of Spirit.”

“You’re human.” Her eyes shifted and she lowered her voice. “You can’t see magic.”

“Funny how that keeps popping up,” he said cheerfully.

This is its first outing. Like a baby in a carriage, it isn't exactly potty trained yet but so far the storyline is writing itself.

Check out the blogfest over at Tara's house and help celebrate her book, Pop Travel, coming out in July.

Pop Travel, It's the way to go

It takes over seven hours to fly between New York City and Paris.

How would you like to do it in five minutes? Sounds great, right? The newest way to travel is here, teleportation via Pop Travel. Sign up, buy a ticket, and hello, Eiffel Tower.

But you better read the fine print. It’s a killer.

My blogger buddy and most excellent friend Tara Tyler has a book coming out in July called (oddly enough) Pop Travel, a sci-fi thriller sure to please. Tara and fellow writer, Heather M. Gardner author of Maguire’s Corner, are hosting a blogfest, Monday June 24.

from Love to Sci Fi ...

The Thrill of it All blogfest!

Thrills come in all genres. Heather has some intense love scene thrills in MAGUIRE'S CORNER and I have some cool chase scene thrills in POP TRAVEL. And some people do thrilling things, like mountain climbing.

On June 24th, share a big thrill with us to be entered into The Thrill of it All blogfest contest! We will judge the biggest thrills and give out some thrilling prizes. Entries may be real or fiction. All we ask is that you keep them to a paragraph or so.

Here's my example:
In POP TRAVEL, everyone loves to pop. Not Cooper. Though he won't admit it, Cooper was afraid of it even before he found evidence of a disintegrated traveler. Now he's terrified and he must face his fear, popping all over the world to escape those trying to keep him from exposing pop travel's deadly flaw.

Prizes? Did I say prizes? Why yes, there will be prizes... And they will be super, fantastic prizes -
1) A copy of MAGUIRE'S CORNER, ebook
