So happy to be here at the Doc's! Dr. Faerie Godmother, that is! Rena is the best! I've been enjoying this woman's sarcasm and scientific jargon for ages! Thanks for helping me out, woman!
AND Rena is also one of our newest authors at Curiosity Quills! Her hilarious book, ACNE, ASTHMA, AND OTHER SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE HALF DRAGON (I mean, just the title, ha!) is due out in November. And Rena, make sure you let me help you with your release!
Well, I'm going on a little rant today (don't worry, it's got a happy ending, all my stories do!)
Rena's book makes me think I could be half dragon with all my skin problems. Wouldn't that be cool?? But since it's not true, it's just kinda sad and annoying. It also makes me wonder. Has anyone else noticed how rampant allergies, autism, and even vitiligo (white spots where the skin pigment dies) are with kids these days? They're epidemic! Personally, I think it has a lot to do with the extended amount of time we all spend inactive indoors on screens. We are all connected all the time. You know you feel naked without your phone!

Re-released July 1, 2015
In 2080, technology has gone too far for private detective J. L. Cooper. He thinks he can avoid pop travel teleportation, until he stumbles onto a video of a pop traveler who turns to dust.
Sparking a series of murders, attempts on his life, and threats to his brother, Cooper wants to pass off the evidence but knows he’s being watched and can’t trust anyone. And who would believe him?
With help from the neurotic genius “Creator” of pop travel and a beautiful Southern charmer, Cooper must expose the deadly glitch and shut it down or die trying. No problem.
Tara Tyler has had a hand at everything from waitressing to rocket engineering. After living up and down the Eastern US, she now writes and teaches math in Ohio with her three active boys and Coach Husband. Currently, she has two series, The Cooper Chronicles (techno-thriller detective capers) and Beast World (MG fantasy) She's an adventure writer who believes every good story should have a moral, and a few laughs!
Also by Tara Tyler, MG/YA Fantasy series, Beast World,
i enjoyed your iwsg iris addiction!
ReplyDeleteand i know your book is going to do great! luck is probably the biggest factor of what makes a book successful - that and who you know. look at jimmy fallon's stinking daddy book - it wouldnt be selling a fraction as well as it is if it werent for him plugging it on his show! wouldnt it be awesome to get a book on there? everything he touches turns to gold, no platinum!
and thanks so much for having me! you're a doll =)
Hi Rena and Tara,
ReplyDeleteTara, you may be on to something on the idleness = health problems. I remember the study that came out a few months ago that said sitting at a desk all day will kill you, or something like that, even if you exercise at some point each day. Just what a writer needs to hear, right? Then again, idleness is something we can work with. I rather that be the problem than something like vaccines.
Good luck with your book. I love the name "Pop travel". Reminds me a little of Stephen King's short "The Jaunt".
thanks tamara! yes, i'm glad there's something we can do about it too!
