CassaStorm
By Alex J Cavanaugh
From the Amazon Best Selling Series!
A storm gathers across the galaxy…
Commanding the Cassan base on Tgren, Byron thought he’d put the days of battle behind him. As a galaxy-wide war encroaches upon the desert planet, Byron’s ideal life is threatened and he’s caught between the Tgrens and the Cassans.
After enemy ships attack the desert planet, Byron discovers another battle within his own family. The declaration of war between all ten races triggers nightmares in his son, threatening to destroy the boy’s mind.
Meanwhile the ancient alien ship is transmitting a code that might signal the end of all life in the galaxy. And the mysterious probe that almost destroyed Tgren twenty years ago could return. As his world begins to crumble, Byron suspects a connection. The storm is about to break, and Byron is caught in the middle…

A few weeks ago I sent Alex this question: Is there a chance we’ll see Bassan as a young scientist, saving the universe, but not like his father did?
Here’s his answer:
I can picture what Bassan would be like as a young adult and could easily write short stories that feature him, but not sure I could pull off another book. Besides, I am content to end this storyline now. Maybe I could hold a fan fiction contest and let readers come up with their own versions of Bassan’s future?
Get your copy today. I read it. I reviewed it. I never review books that I can’t applaud. I gave this ****, and I don’t give **** easily.

I’m supposed to be on break, but I’d promised Alex to post about his book, so this is my September EXCEPTION POST. And since it’s Friday here’s my Small Things Celebration post as well.
My break is a small thing, but it has been very big for me. I managed to list my mom’s house with a realtor, set up an estate sale and see that she was in a facility where she could get the best daily therapy. She’s improved a lot with the care she’s getting. So my celebration has everything to do with all of that.
Then, in the middle of all this. . . well, I’ll keep that for when I return to blogging in October!
In the meantime, here’s that infamous Linky List. Go see what others are celebrating.
LynNerdKelley says
What a wonderful kickoff for Alex's new book! Great question, Lee. I also asked a question of Alex. If he could invent something from an alternate universe, what would it be? His answer was a good one. He'd invent a teleporter. That sure would come in handy, huh?
Glad you're taking (or took) September off. Sounds like you're dealing with a lot of things. I hope your mom is doing well and all goes smoothly with the sale of her home. Take care of yourself. Hope you have a great weekend.
Sharon K. Mayhew says
Alex is an amazing asset to the writing/blogging community. I see and hear about him being supportive of so many people.
It sounds like you've found a good place for your Mum.
Enjoy the rest of your break. 🙂
Carol Kilgore says
Alex is quite a ninja – he's on my blog this week, too 🙂
Kudos to you for taking such good care of your mom.
Mere Joyce says
Congrats to Alex on the book, and I'm glad your break is going well…enjoy the rest of it!
The Words Crafter says
I'm so glad to hear your mother is doing better. It's a very difficult thing you're going through. I've been there. I'll send prayers and positive thoughts your way.
Alex, a fan fic contest?!!! That would be FUN!
Catherine Stine says
Good SEPTEMBER exception post! Now go back to your much-needed break.
Empty Nest Insider says
It sounds like you're taking wonderful care of your mom, and she's very lucky to have you. It seems like you've accomplished a lot in such a short time. I went through a similar experience with my mom, so I know how difficult this must have been for both of you. Don't forget to take care of yourself too Lee.
I remember reading your rave review about CassaStorm! Congrats to our four star Ninja Captain!

I'm glad your mom is doing better. I know that must be a huge concern off your mind. Now it can be more about being with her rather than worrying about her.
