Every Wednesday from today onwards, I would feature a book by a fellow author here on Amlokiblogs.
I begin with Alex J. Cavanaugh, my co-host for the A to Z Challenge, and an author-hero in blogland,with his Amazon best-selling science fiction – space opera/adventure, Cassafire.
Part of a series, the Library Journal finds that Cassafire “delivers on the promise of its
predecessor, combining military action sequences and political intrigue with
strong, memorable characters.” I’ve read the series, and I agree.
Elevator Pitch:
Byron
is content with life on the exploration vessel. When the ship investigates alien
ruins, he is saddled with training a talented, feisty female pilot. Add the
adoration of a young scientist, and a threat from space, and Byron feels invaded
on every level. All he wanted was his privacy…
Teaser Excerpt:

other two passengers were secure in their seats and gave no indication as to her
whereabouts. Alarmed, Byron peered into the cockpit. Athee now sat in the
co-pilot’s seat, her harness in place and eyes scanning the control panel.
Concerned, he entered the cockpit. She looked up and smiled.

her own good, he thought.
I urge you to go buy the entire series and tell me how you liked it in the comments!

I'm going to read this one. I read the first book and I have this one.
Liza, Byron was in denial.
Thanks, Rhonda!
Lynda, yes you did.
Thanks, Michael.
Jo, thanks, and don't know yet.
Thanks, Tyrean!
Oh boy, he's not getting any privacy!
I've loved the first two in the series, and I'm eagerly waiting for the third one!
Loved the first two books, looking forward to the third. I am also hoping Alex is going to write some more books.
Intriguing I love what you shared!
YOU did a great job
😀
That snippet tells me a little about both characters. I'll bet they have some interesting times together.
Enjoyed the excerpt. I really need to read your series Alex…. I will get to it soon…
Ha! Love the excerpt. 🙂
Awesome!!! Congrats to Alex. Plus, I've had the privilege of reading his 3rd book, CassaStorm, as well and I LOVED it!
I don't normally read sci-fi, but I had to read it as it was Alex. I loved it. This is a great feature and CassaFire is a great place to start.
Love the chemistry…it's there, no matter what Byron thinks!
Robyn, now you understand!
Elizabeth, Athee thought so.
Thanks again, Damy!
Alex, you're always a joy to host. I wish all my guests took the trouble of promoting their posts and responding to comments the way you do.
Number three will be here soon. Go, Alex! And a happy wednesday to you, Damyanti.
Thanks, Mary. I did have a good Wednesday, as I recall 🙂
Lots of chocolate to Alex. Tweeted and shared.
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
I loved that scene. Sounds like a romance made in heaven 🙂
Men with complex issues…that makes Byron hot. 😉
I love it–a pilot who just wants his privacy! Fun stuff.
Damyanti, you're a treasure, for readers and writers. Thanks for giving us a taste of the ninja master's prose.
I'm looking forward to more of YOUR writing, too!
Marian, you're super-kind, as usual. I just like reading and can't imagine why I didn't think of sharing the work of my fellow-writers. I haven't been writing much, but your words do inspire me 🙂
Great teaser and pitch! Exciting that CassaStorm is in production now for its September release. 🙂
Awesome!
Great guy!
It's really nice of you to do this. What a great idea.

I like how Damy is helping other authors, and I like that exchange! Congrats on that Amazon ranking, Alex!
Thanks, Doralynn. Hope you bought Alex's series!
I've loved the first two. It's funny that I'm now just catching on to the humor in Byron's saying "I'll bet he did!" That was a great line, Alex.
Nice to meet you here, Damy. Looks like you need just one more person to take you to 700 followers. Allow me.
Smiles.
