Today I'm excited to welcome author Casey Wyatt as my guest. Casey's latest release The Udead Space Initiative is one of the most original stories I've read this year.
To find out what space and vampires have in common read Casey's latest book. I've included a sneak preview below.
Excerpt:
Reality settled in. We were
leaving the Earth. I’d be strapped into a tube and hurtled into space. If we
survived the journey, I’d be on my way to Mars.
My kneecaps
dissolved to water. I clutched the railing, trying to calm my stomach and stay
upright.
“You don’t have to go,
Cherry,” Ian said from behind me.
I stiffened. His offer
seemed more tempting by the minute, yet I couldn’t abandon my family. “I’m
afraid to board the ship. But I can’t disobey my sire.”
“You could ask him to
emancipate you. You’re plenty old enough.”
“Why are you still
here?” Old enough? No woman likes to be told she’s old. Especially when it’s
true.
“Concerned is all,” he
shrugged and joined me by the railing. He stared out, side profile as handsome
as the full frontal.
“Don’t be. I’m a big
girl,” I chirped with way more bravado than I felt. Now I knew what Alice
experienced when she fell into the rabbit hole. Afraid, confused. Freaked out.
I reminded myself Jonathan was a great leader. Even though we had our personal
baggage, he would do his best to ensure we survived. He hadn’t let us down yet.
Heavy machines moved
into position. The workers unlatched more hoses, wires and mechanical items
from the ship’s side. Blood pounded in my head, caused by my tight jaw and
grinding teeth.
“I didn’t mean to
offend. Or imply Jonathan can’t defend you.” Ian’s voice softened. The low tone
made my toes curl. “I hoped we could prove our innocence together.”

Great excerpt, Casey. Can't wait to read more. You are next up on my TBR pile stuffed onto my Kindle:-)
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks PJ!
DeleteThank you, Casey, for being my guest today. I'm glad you didn't give any spoilers here; as I've not finished the book yet.
ReplyDeleteFun excerpt and so timely with Curiosity on Mars! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteSo true, Pauline, I didn't even think of that.
DeleteSounds very interesting. I've been toying with an idea for a vampire/space travel story (they would be going a lot farther than Mars) but I haven't been able to get it to "gel." Seems to me if I can get a spaceship full of witches, I should be able to get one full of vampires ...
ReplyDeleteJim, you should Casey's book. She made it look so easy.
DeleteGreat excerpt. I loved The Undead Space Initiative. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. This is definitely a must read.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your next book, Casey.
Me too, Janna.
DeleteHi Casey, I am reading it now and I love, love, love it. I love the snappy dialogue. I agree with Janna, once you start, you simply can't put it down. Great read. I'm really enjoying it and highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Gerri. Oh, can't wait for your book to come out this month either.
DeleteWow! Everyone thank you so much! Marian thanks for having me today.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun having you as a guest, Casey. Keep those books coming!
DeleteMarian, that thank you was the most beautiful rendition I have ever read. You go girl, my Brooklyn comrade. We are truly blessed to part of this CTRWA. I have never known such a giving group. And I have had experience with groups in my years and years and years in business.
ReplyDeleteCasey, I enjoyed the excerpt from your book. The Undead Space Initiative. Best blessings to you and great sales.
