Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday - SPECTORS by Angelia Almos

Back to Spectors this week.

Spectors by Angelia Almos. 

A space pirate almost loses everything she cares about when she’s blackmailed by the military into running a dangerous mission.

Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday Snippet: 

Kristy fumed. Her own father sold her out to the MSA. He’d made no secret of his anger over her leaving the nest and striking out on her own, but to turn evidence against her to the MSA. That was a low she would never have expected of him.

There was no way Captain O’Neal had stumbled across enough information to charge them with that many crimes. He’d had inside information supplied to him by someone who kept very close tabs on what the Unicorn was up to. Her father was the only person with any motive to be watching them that closely.

She carefully shoved the betrayal down so she could function enough to plan. She needed more information.

    Wow, so failing to be able to send her to her room he's going to send her to prison instead? :-/

    Nothing like a loving father/daughter relationship.

    Great suspenseful snippet. I am really intrigued about how the character is going to maneuver around this problem. Family Relationships - why can't we all just get along? Because if we all got along that would result in boring writing. Conflict always spices things up. Thanks for sharing,

    Yikes! Betrayal is so much worse when it's someone from your own family!

Books to Movies Giveaway Hop

One of my favorite subjects are books to movies. I LOVE watching adaptations and studying the skill of turning a book into a movie. Adaptations are getting a lot of attention now with the success of the Twilight and The Hunger Games series. I could go on and on about the skill it takes to adapt a movie from a book, but I won't bore you. Instead I'll just give you a couple of my favorites: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen ~ Pride and Prejudice (A&E version) Emma by Jane Austen ~ Clueless The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum ~ Tin Man Cinderella ~ Ever After How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell ~ How to Train Your Dragon For the hop I decided to giveaway a copy of another one of my favorite adaptations. This is the first movie I consciously remember knowing it was based on a book and actually went out and read the book. The specifics of the plot are different, but the characters and overall arc are the same. Besides Hayley Mills is charming in the role ...

Unicorn Keep is a young adult fantasy romance about a girl who swaps places with her best friend to become a unicorn keeper. *** “Your family sent you alone,” Herrick said. Of course they had, they had believed she was traveling on a well-traveled road to the closest city with Wilm as her escort. But she didn’t say that. Instead, she sat up taller. “You’re traveling alone.” “I’m not a child.”   She glared at him. “I’m not a child either.” “You couldn’t be more than fifteen.”   Her irritation grew at his accurate guess.   *** Available as an ebook from Amazon , Barnes and Noble , and Smashwords .
