Never Surrender Week! (With prizes and free stuff.)

Ahhhh! You guys, I have been waiting for this week for so long. Do you know what happens tomorrow? (And by tomorrow, I mean at midnight tonight?) Elana Johnson’s Surrender hits store shelves. I’m a big fan of Possession, and have been waiting a long time for Surrender.

*giggles*

Okay, actually, I’ve already read it. AND I. Love. It. Seriously, I love it even more than I loved Possession, because not only do we get to see more of Jag and Vi and Zenn, but we also get to know the hot-tough-guy-empath Gunner and tormented-gorgeous Raine.


Check out the trailer:



Okay, and now for the fun part. Because I’m so excited for the release of this book, I’m sort of going fan-girl-obsessed, which means this week I’ll be talking a lot about free will and strength and not surrendering. And I will be doing this to remind you of this really frawesome contest, wherein you can enter to win a BUNCH of Surrender inspired prizes, including some hard cover copies of Surrender, Possession, and Regret. No purchase necessary. All you have to do is enter below.

AND if you purchase a copy of Surrender between now and Saturday, we are offering free downloadable bookmarks. Simply email a copy of your receipt to surrenderbomb @ gmail . com.

Also be sure to check out the other blogs participating in Never Surrender week. Some are hosting additional giveaways that you won’t want to miss (and be sure to check back here on Wednesday for exclusive content).

Apocalypse Scenarios and Being Prepared for Zombies

Last week, my oldest son and I got into a discussion about emergency preparedness. I can’t remember what got us started, but naturally, the discussion segued into extreme possibilities and possible apocalypse scenarios.

Because, well, you know. Emergency kits and food storage could be rather handy in the event the world is overtaken by zombies. And we all know that’s coming someday. Or something’s coming, anyway.

As we were trying to merge our idea of the apocalypse (as is shown in so many popular dystopian novels recently) and possible reasons for the real world to come to such extremes, this is what we came up with.

Most likely apocalypse scenarios;

1. Solar flares that scorch the portions of Earth.

2. World War III = creates a nuclear winter.

3. A rapidly spreading, highly contagious plague that eats people’s minds and bodies = real zombies.

4. Animal overlords created by science experiments gone bad (think Jurassic Park).

5. Robot overlords created by an evil hi-tech master who is then killed by his own evil robots (think Terminator).

6. Planetary realignment that flip-flop’s the earth’s poles, killing off vegetation, animal life, and changing the flow of water all over the world.

We figure knowing the possibilities will help us to plan ahead and be prepared for anything that might happen. The question is, what did we miss?
