Mid-Winters' Eve Giveaway Hop
Happy Holidays (both forthcoming and past)!Ìý To celebrate, I'm giving away another signed copy of NEXIS plus some goodies to one lucky US/CANADIAN entrant!Ìý Enter below and don't forget to in this great Giveaway/Hop!
NEXIS:Ìý In the domed city of Evanescence, appearance is everything. A Natural Born amongst genetically-altered Aristocrats, all Ella ever wanted was to be like everyone else. Augmented, sparkling, and perfect. Then…the crash. Devastated by her father’s death and struggling with her new physical limitations, Ella is terrified to learn she is not just alone, but little more than a prisoner.
Her only escape is to lose herself in Nexis, the hugely popular virtual reality game her father created. In Nexis she meets Guster, a senior player who guides Ella through the strange and compelling new world she now inhabits. He offers Ella guidance, friendship…and something more. Something that allows her to forget about the “real� world, and makes her feel whole again.
But Nexis isn’t quite the game everyone thinks it is.
And it’s been waiting for Ella.

Monday Muse: Eric Whitacre Singers -- Fly to Paradise
I've been saving this gem in celebration of NEXIS's release tomorrow. The song, along with the video, are perfect accompaniments to your read. I've just overwhelmed by the sheer number of people involved in this, how beautiful they all sound together, and the way the internet brought them together. A perfect NEXUS if I've ever seen one. ENJOY!!!!
