I would describe Visionary From The Stars as a mix of Brian Jacques' Redwall crossed with Star Trek or even Stargate.

The Platonians, specifically their Military Guild, are the Antagonists in my newest release Visionary From The Stars. They have spent so many years trying to stop others from finding the cylinder relics, it is a shame really. Many of their kind have become disenfranchised with the way the Military Guild has been doing things... they've taken to living in secret cities to escape being drafted into a battle they feel is unnecessary.
The Military Guild's most recent accomplishment has been simulating Exandra's legendary blizzard with the added effect of managing to knock out the human colony's electrical system. Therefore, this is currently their favorite song:
Ho Boy... awfully sure of themselves aren't they. They do end up blowing up a few ships with our friends onboard so... I think I'll step out of their way for now.

Laurie from my newest release Visionary From The Stars... I never really figured out what her favorite song is so I wandered over to You Tube to see what resonated with her character. She seems like she would really like this one:
Me: Laurie, can you tell us why you like this one?
Laurie: Sure, it works great as a memory exercise, trying to remember all the words to this one is challenging. I also like how they managed to weave all that history into just one song.
She's an odd kid lol.

To kick off this month's Exploring New Worlds Blog Challenge, I will be trying to match my newest release to a song that reminds me of it.

As I mentioned, this month I will be exploring my newest release, Visionary From The Stars... Oh Wait! You guys haven't seen the cover yet! Well today is your lucky day!
There you have it folks! A Shiny new cover!
Now, what song reminds me of Visionary? I have two...
This one probably because I was watching this series pretty seriously when I was doing the bulk of the story building for this book.
This one... Not sure, it has always resonated with me. It helped me get a handle (or as much of a handle as my earthbound self could possibly hope to get) on the helplessness an astronaut might feel in space when something goes wrong.

My WIP is currently titled "The Sequel To The Alien Mind"- yes I know it needs a new title!
The Alien Mind is the first book in what is looking like what will end up being a ?four? book series (not sure yet- not finished). You can find out more about The Alien Mind here:
So... here are some photos that remind me of my book's setting... Thank you Pinterest!
Homes that remind me of the Aunantet villages:
This picture reminds me of Aun, which is mostly desert. This may be a photo filter but the sky looks like that on Aun too- sorta hazy yellow.
Finding pictures that remind me of an alien planet are a little difficult. If I find more I will add them later on but for now I'll just leave them as is.
