ASU DevCon and a Fabulous Opportunity for Indie Authors!

On March 21st I visited ASU WEST's DevCon, a cos-play SFF convention held on that weekend. Unlike most cons, entry was free, and if you'd like to know more, you can visit ASU's website here: http://devconarizona.com/

My son was involved with the club who set up the con, and although it's still small, it was a wonderful experience! They had an entire room set up with artists and authors and publishers, and fantasy/science fiction experiences galore! Outside, we sat and watched the cos-play competition, right next to a fountain in the seating area, along with a gentle breeze that made the weather wonderful! Here's some photos we took of some of the entrants and their fabulous costumes:

And for you Indie e-book authors, I ran across some information from one of the authors at the con. I copied the pamphlet to post for anyone who might be interested:

I don't have any other information than what is listed here, but it's pretty inclusive. Although this references Arizona, it sounds like this may be in other states, so you would have to visit your own state library for information. It sounds like a wonderful opportunity, so I just had to share!

Spotlight on author K.T. Roberts

Elusive Justice
Book Two in the Gerard-Kensington Detective Series

Two detectives, two cases . . . seemingly unrelated until a baffling discovery entwines them forever . . .

Tate Kensington thought she was out of homicide for good. Missing Persons is hard on the heart, but it gives her the resources and spare time she needs to help a young girl desperately searching for her beloved brother.

Meanwhile, with a murder case that has him stumped, Zachary Gerard is beginning to resent all the time Tate's been devoting to her pet project instead of him. Zachary's murder victim is turning out to be way more than anyone ever suspected, and the red tape isn't making this case any easier.

When it suddenly becomes clear that the two cases are not as independent as Kensington or Gerard thought, secrets long buried will be revealed, and the pair will team up once again on the hunt for . . . Elusive Justice.

Can the love of God and the awesome healing power of His grace and mercy free the twins from their past and open their hearts to the good plan and the future He has for their lives? Find out in...The Visionary ~ Where the awesome power of God's love heals the most wounded of souls.

Culture Clash By Linda Andrews

Culture Clash

One world. Two alien races. And a secret that threatens to destroy everything.

The new colony on Terra Dos is fracturing. A band of civilians have rejected technology and the Syn-Ens--cyborg soldiers that protect them. Syn-En Admiral Beijing York knows it's his job to protect the civilians but his human wife, Nell Stafford convinces him to resettle the troublemakers before they destabilize the new civilization.

Yet, humanity is not alone on the planet.

Under the skin of the planet, an ancient race of aliens is beginning to wake from a century long slumber. The Skaterians will do anything to reclaim Terra Dos and enslave the humans crawling on the surface. Their mastery of technology quickly defeats Bei and his Syn-En army.

Alone on a hostile world, Nell forges a treacherous alliance to save her husband and people. But will it be enough to prevent this Culture Clash from turning into genocide?

I'm excited to announce that my first Avalon release (Home at Last) has been slightly updated and I've reissued it on Amazon's Kindle.

Healing Hearts

Bounced from one foster home to another, Sarah Churchill learned early that love is conditional and nothing is free. Not even the homeless dog she accidentally runs over.

Veterinarian Grant Morrison is a sucker for strays, both the four-legged kind and the two-legged kind. So when a redhead walks into his office with an injured dog, he does the only thing he knows how to do and stitches up the dog for free.

But Sarah has her pride. Determined never to be a charity case again, she won't accept the service and insists on working at the clinic to pay for the bill.

Can one man and one big, furry dog break down the wall of hurt and distrust and show Sarah the true meaning of happiness and unconditional love?
