Excerpt Time, But First...

Image
It looks like I missed this week's Weekly Roundup. I blame the holidays, but don't worry! I'll make up for it. Here is an excerpt from Lucius Sinclair. Want to read the full thing? It is now FREE to download from the iBookstore and Lulu! Elrond and Captain Kirk gearing up for New Years Eve.  Gentlemen, it is not for another two days! Excerpt from Lucius Sinclair The following is (c) M.L. Crabb 2013 The anthem trickled through the speakers built into his flat screen television. Lucius Sinclair ignored it even though he was grateful for the sudden interruption. His pale hands were clammy, but they had finally stopped trembling. Vocational school was supposed to be different , he thought as the empire’s proud melody attempted to break through his concentration. Remus is in security, and I’m far away with the artisans… He swallowed and ran his fingers through his short hair. Wisps of blonde fell in front of his eyes when the anthem was silenced by ...

Here's to wishing everyone a happy set of holidays no matter which ones you celebrate! What are holidays without gifts? Lucius Sinclair is now (and forever) FREE!  Visit my Lulu storefront to download the ebook today! Apple users, keep your eyes peeled (it may take a few weeks for it to show up as free on the iBookstore). *Merry Christmas from the iBookstore because they updated it in record time! Apple users, you can head on over there! The year is Y.E. 0417, and Lucius Sinclair is finally free of his reckless, abusive twin. Where Remus was gifted with wit and brawn, Lucius was plagued with a nasty little trait that the empire exterminates—telepathy.  Now that he is attending vocational school and is far away from his brother, Lucius is shocked to find that he is actually excelling at his trade. Just when he feels safe and starts fitting in with his peers, he stumbles into a disturbing truth. It turns out that he’s not the only one harboring a deep, dar...

Weekly Roundup: Team America, DnD, and Space Cats

Image
~ A quick recap of things around Empire Earth over the past week.  Word. This Week in... Team America: World Police This is by far my favorite spoof movie. It was one of those movies I couldn't stop laughing during. What does a decade-old silly spoof movie with puppets have to do with anything? Sony was going to release a movie titled The Interview (a comedy about assassinating North Korea's leader), but due to recent threats from hackers, they decided not to release it. Some theatres were going to host viewings of Team America instead, but Paramount put a stop to that. What is my opinion? I honestly don't care. Team America is just an awesome movie that I love, so I'm excited that it is in the lime light. We blare its unofficial theme song on special, 'MURICA! occasions.   I scoured the Internet for the original source. I cannot find it! If anyone knows it, I'd be delighted to find out! Why don't I care about Sony and The I...

Weekly Roundup: Ain't no Party Like a Mirkwood Party

Image
~ A quick recap of things around Empire Earth over the past week. This week is going to be a little different. I worked nine days in a row, so I didn't have much time to keep up with all things geeky, sci-fi, and awesome. The good news is that I'm on Day 1 of a 4 day weekend! I have done absolutely nothing productive today unless you count the misadventures of my action figures as detailed below... Ain't no party like a Mirkwood party. Some of these things may or may not belong. Nothing like an Elvenking dance off.  Blooper reel!  Elrond, this isn't your shot! #TagIt! Want to join in the fun? Caption or tag this one! #HeHasMyVote I can't do a Weekly Roundup without a video of the week. Let's just keep with the silly Middle Earth theme I've got going on today: My personal favorite is his Gandalf costume.

Weekly Roundup - MMO Winter Fun and Games

Image
~ A quick recap of things around Empire Earth over the past week. This Week in...   Survival! I survived my second Black Friday. If anyone was wondering why Weekly Roundup was on hiatus last week, you have your answer. With everyone opening Thanksgiving night now, we only get a few hours of sleep before we have to be up and at it again. Free food and Monster drinks were a huge helper in that endeavor. MMO Land December can be such a fun month; you have awesome festive food, treats, lights, gifts, and dual pistols that shoot giant snowballs.  Screenshot is from last year's Star Trek Online winter event I love hopping into my favorite MMOs and joining in their winter events. I snag as many of the freebies as I can. It is the only time I actually enjoy * le MMO grind. * Lord of the Rings Online tends to have amazing outfits. Star Trek Online has awesome snow blasting weapons. I remember the original Guild Wars had a tradition of giving away amazing hats and hea...
