Year-End Wrap Up, More Quotes, and More by BJ Neblett

Year-End Wrap Up, More Quotes, and More by BJ Neblett

Looks like we made it, sort of speak, to the end of another year. And who isn't glad to see this one end? As usual, here is a bit of a wrap-up of what I've been up to while forced to hunker down for the duration. 
If nothing else, this forced lockdown has been good for the creative process. Much to my publisher's delight, I finished Planet-Alt-Sete-Nine Book Two: Princess Haylee. It should be hitting bookstores and online sellers in February. I'll keep you posted. Also, I have a good head start on book three, tentatively titled War of the Wizards. Finger's crossed for a late 2021 release. Also, later in the year, look for the paperback release of my New Millennialism contemporary fantasy collection of short stories, Wouldn't It Be Funny If.. to be released. And speaking of which, from now until January 1st, Wouldn't It Be Funny If... is available in all ebook formats for only .99 through Smashwords.
With Covid-19, it would seem that writing is about all I have to report for 2020. But that writing has produced a number of quotes which are already being talked about and gaining in popularity. So below is the yearly addendum to my growing list of popular quotes, a list of my available books, and a list of sites where you can learn more about me than you probably care to know.
Click the links below, and as always, like, link and comment!
Have a great, happy, and safe holiday. C 'ya on the other side!
Peace,
BJ

Quotes: (note, Princess Haylee will be released February 2021, and look for War Of The Wizards late 2021)
(On fate)

“Fate does seem to have a way of bringing unlikely things together.”

                        The Wizard Inhodu from Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: War of the Wizards by BJ Neblett

(On change)

“Change, sired by the unexpected and spawned by chance, remains nature’s single greatest mystery, its secrets jealously guarded.”

                        The Wizard Illume Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: War of the Wizards by BJ Neblett

(On belief)

“There are more things in nature, then are found in your nightmares.”

                        The Evil Wizardess Morgan Train from Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: War of the Wizards                                                 by BJ Neblett

(On life)

“We are all just players in some grand game, moved about at will, on the whims of those greater than us.”

                        The Wizard Inhodu from Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: War of the Wizards by BJ Neblett

(On learning)

“The lessons we learn on our own, are those that have the most impact.”

                        The Wizard Inhodu from Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: War of the Wizards by BJ Neblett

(On being afraid)

“If we have the courage to understand and embrace the darkness, we will find that all things are possible.”

(On life)

“Always start the week with a pair of socks that have no holes.”

                        BJ Neblett

(On destiny and purpose)

“Our destinies were set in the heavens long before the suns and stars were born. You must remember that everything has its purpose, and everything happens for a reason. I am here for a reason. As are you, and you and you. Each person’s purpose is as different as the individual pursuing it. Yet they all point to a single grand reason. Every occurrence is a link in a chain of events, constantly moving towards the grand purpose. It is a purpose much greater than any of us.  Sometimes an occurrence causes a break in the chain. You may alter your future, choose a different path. But your destiny is set and cannot be changed. It is the nature of things to right themselves and continue. Destiny will win out.”

                        The Wizard Inhodu from Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: War of the Wizards by BJ Neblett

“Love is the most private of feelings, obvious to everyone but our own selves.”

                        The Goddess Sete From Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett

“It is the unknown that makes life a mystery. And it is the mystery that moves us towards the unknown.”

                        From Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett

(On the future and the past)

“The future is a drifting cloud, the past but fading sunlight.”

                        From Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett

(On war and peace)

“Not all accords are struck in the open, just as not all battles are fought on the field.”

                        From Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett

(On theory)

“Sometimes you need to change the equation to fit the conclusion.”

                        From Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett

(On memories)

“Do not deny your memories and they will come about on their own, as you need them.”

                        The Oracle Lekly from Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett

(On education and learning)

“Sometimes we are not fully prepared for the lessons we learn or the answers we so eagerly seek.”

                        Princess Haylee from Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett

(On history)

“When all of our history is removed, there will be no history from which to learn.”

                        Wizard Inhodu from Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett

Finally, I have a new, fun class coming up in November. As most of your already know, I teach writing at Seattle's famed Hugo House for Writers. Starting Monday, November 5, I'll be once again teaching a very fun class, Time Travel and Alternate Realities In Fiction. If you're a sci-fi/fantasy writer; have some definite ideas on how time travel and alternate reality works, or just want to partake in some lively, and often heated discussions on the subject, then this class is for you. But sign up soon... this has proven to be a very popular class... and time waits for no one! Once again, just click and follow the links!
Oh, and one more thing. I am still offering signed copies of book one of my reality bending series, Planet Alt-Sete-Nine. Follow the link to get your personalize copy delivered to your door!
