25-page YA Sci-fi Ms Eval Giveaway Plus Games!!!

What do you get if you mix the genomes of Sponge Bob and P Diddy? A sponge man with a porkpie hat and huge street cred! This is the game we're playing over at my last tour stop on Wistful Nebulae, and the prize for the best transgenic mash-up? Gotta hop over and play to find out!

I really like M Pax's stories because, for now, we are both obsessed with organic genomes. Take her Plant Girl, for instance. Yes, nano tech brain implants are cool, and wrist embeds that scan credit cards like the one Shin Kaskade has in Fireseed One are hip, but so is pharming, and the science of plant hybrids. More on this in a future post with the winner of our game.

During my Fireseed One tour, I found that there was great interest in my manuscript critique giveways.  I am also a freelance editor in addition to writing. So, in celebration of today's last tour stop, I am offering a free 25-page manuscript evaluation of a fresh YA sci fi read. Just email me at kitsy84557 (at) gmail (dot) com with the heading 25-page YA SCIFI EVAL, and you might be the lucky winner! You'll score extra Brownie points if you LIKE the Fireseed One Facebook page, and follow this blog.

Blue roses are all transgenic
Happy spring, and grow some black tulips and blue roses in those window boxes, m 'kay?

    A very happy spring to you, Catherine.

    (Blue roses makes me think of 'The Glass Menagerie.'

    I love me some Oxblood Lilies. They're way cool in the garden, popping up on nobody's schedule but their own, and then, they disappear without a trace!

    Hope your tour was a huge success!!!

    Hi Candy
    I'm not familiar with these. I'll check 'em out. Yes, the last tour stop was a blast! And so was the entire tour. But now I can catch up on writing and sleeping. :)

    That's super generous. If I wrote sci-fi, I'd be all over that. Congrats on the tour!
