BJ's Library (So Far) by BJ Neblett

While we are all hunkering down like good little soldiers, waiting for the inevitable (don't ask, despite by last post I try not to get political here) many of us have re-discovered the joy of reading. Some of you have even held a real book for the first time in a very long time... or maybe even the first time! Good for you! Proof once again that positive things can come from even the.... never mind.
Anyway, I've been busy working on book two of my Planet Alt-Sete-Nine series. Hopefully Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee will be on the shelves early 2021, and you'll be able to actually go to the book store (remember those?) without fear of being harassed the Mask Police.
So here it is, my irregularly published list of all of my current publications. Click on the titles for a quick link to purchase!
Peace,
BJ

Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: The Lost Princess is my latest offering. Ever wonder while playing a video game what it would be like to live in that game? Nope, this ain't no Tron clone. There are plenty of creatures, weapons, aliens, humans, lovers, fighters, saboteurs, and plot twists to keep you coming back for more. And luck for you, more is on the way via Book Two: Princess Haylee. If you enjoy video games, action adventures, sci-fi/fantasy, creatures, beautiful sexy heroins (who doesn't?) and good old fashion who-done-its, this one is for you.

Elysian Dreams is one of my earlier works and was received with praise and accolades (always wanted to receive praise and accolades, problem is they are intangible commodities) As the sub-title suggest, Dreams takes the read on a wild time traveling trip, ricocheting between 1929 and 1989 as three disparate people's lives continue to intersect as each searches their dreams while seeking their destiny. Literary fiction at its sci-fi/fantasy best. I promise you won't see the plot twists coming!

Wouldn't It Be Funny If... Enjoy short stories? Who doesn't? Enjoy short stories that make you go, "Hummm...?" This compilation is for you. After writing these gems my publisher asked, "What genre is this?" Good question. So I coined the term New Millenalism to describe these and other great new stories with tech at its core. Kinda of a Twilight Zone for the 21st century.
Right now Wouldn't It Be Funny If... is available in all popular ebook formats including PDF and plain text. Look for a paperback edition coming in 2021.

Beyond The Hedge As if all of the other quality stories from great new authors was enough reason to pick up this gem, it also contains one of my favorite and most popular short stories, Rain at The Intersection Of Tomorrow. Within lies some fantastic contemporary sci-fi and fantasy tales.
Check on line and local bookstores to secure your copy.
If you have trouble finding a copy of Beyond The Hedge, drop me a line. I have some tucked away for conventions and book signings. I might just sign a copy for you!

Something a little different, Ice Cream Camelot is a memoir... my own memoir of growing up in early 60's Philadelphia. But be warned! This isn't the Wonder Years and I wasn't your typical suburban transplant. Come to think of it, my family wasn't your typical suburbanite family either. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder how I ever made it adulthood. Sometimes I wonder myself.
"A fun read. The 60's version of The Catcher In The Rye."

Ok, there you have it, my books so far (at least the ones I admit to publicly). JK! If you do a quick search on the internet you'll find many more of my short stories sprinkled about among on line and paper publications including: Creative Nonfiction Magazine, eFiction and Romance Magazine.
Also, Summer 2021 is a target date for the release of my collection of romance stories, Never Let A Vegetarian Pack Your Lunch And Other Love Stories. You won't want to miss this one!

Til next time, keep reading and keep thinking for yourself. You'll be surprised what you find!
Peace,
BJ

OryCon, Updates And Such by BJ Neblett

Wow, November already! Crazy. Then again I have been swarmed over with writing a new novel... actually my second this year: Princess Haylee book two of The Lost Princess Series. I finished book one, Planet Alt-Sete-Nine in July and want to have book two completed before committing to my publisher. Of course he is already talking about a spring/summer release date, which in publisher speak means maybe fall. We'll see. If you'd like to preview a taste of Princess Haylee, I will be posting a chapter or two perhaps in January.
NanoWriMo is here which I foolishly was talked into signing up for by my author KJ McPike. She is working on her own sequel, Emulous, a follow up to her excellent award winning and very popular Young Adult novel Xodus. If you are not familiar with NanoWriMo, it is for crazy people who challenge themselves to write 50,000 words in 30 days, the month of November... fun. Anyway, click the highlighted link words to check it out along with KJ's book site.
The weekend of November 18-20 I'll be joining my friend and author/publisher Matt Buscemi and some other writers in Portland, Oregon for OryCon, a sci-fi/fantasy convention. I'll be meeting and greeting and selling & signing copies of my books including Elysian Dreams, my contemporary fantasy adventure novel, and Matt's books including his anthology, Beyond The Hedge, The Light And The Dark. I have a well received short story included in this volume. Please do come by and say hello. It promises to be a lot of fun.
My historical memoir, Ice Cream Camelot is out in paperback through Amazon.com and on your local book seller's shelf. The eBook was very well reviewed and received and now you can add it to you book shelf!
I have created, finally, a new Facebook page. I don't think my publisher at Brighton Publishing has any hair left to pull out so I thought this was a good time to setup and update on Facebook. The link is to the right or just click the highlight. As they say, be sure to 'like' me and ask for a 'friending' if that's the right terminology. And check back often as I promise I will be updating and looking for your comments and such on a regular bases. As time permits. In between writing and teaching. Ok, when I can... I promise.
And speaking of teaching (see how writers do that? Cool, huh?) My first class teaching fiction writing at Seattle's Hugo House just concluded. On Saturday, December 3, I'll be joining a group of teachers for Write-O-Rama, one hours classes on everything from writing to publishing to poetry. I'll be teaching a class on the art of the short story and it is open to all. Then, my classes resume on February 5, Sunday (think that's the right date). This time around I'll be teaching Writing Short Stories And The Art Of Flash Fiction. Contact Hugo House for registration info which should be starting soon. Again, click the highlighted text for a link to Hugo House.
Finally, since we are nearing the end of another year, I'll be posting an updated 2016 Bibliography of all of my books, stories, poetry, etc and where you can find them. Check back for more.
Ok, enough said, and thanks for being there!
Peace,
BJ

For those of you not close by, as well as those who are, one of my most popular stories Seven Seconds is being read on Youtube by a very talented guy, Brady Boothe in connection with the Evil Idol contest. It is a competition for scary stories which are spoken and given the actor's own particular twist. Brady has done a great job interpreting my story and I know you will enjoy it. Please click or copy the link  www.youtube.com/watch?v=VteM5BE8M2U and give Brady a thumbs up vote to help him move on to the final round. Be sure to leave a comment while you are there as well. Thanks.
