Welcome to the second day of the Blogger Book Fair,
organized by the amazing Kayla Curry. This is going to be a fun week of
authors sharing bits and pieces of their books, sharing some virtual
goodies, and giving away some great prizes. There is also a Reader's
Choice contest going and my short story collection, The Wisdom of Ages, is in the Anthology Category. My mysteries, Open Season and One Small Victory are in the Mystery Category and my romance, Play It Again, Sam, is in the Romance Category. (Votes are certainly welcome. [Smile])
At the
end of the week, I will give away advance copies of my mystery, Stalking Season
to three lucky winners, or an e-book of your choice. All you have to do
to win is comment on the blog this week and I will draw names on
Friday. Please leave a contact e-mail.
Today my guest for the Blogger Book Fair is Jeff Horton. He was born in North Dakota, the youngest son of a career Air
Force Master sergeant, where he spent the first four years of his life
before moving to North Carolina. A somewhat voracious reader growing up,
he read everything from comic books to The Bible, including stories by
many popular authors such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, Jules
Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, C. S. Lewis,
and J. R. R. Tolkien. Jeff Horton's novel, The Great Collapse, a story
about the coming of the pulse and the end of civilization, was
published in 2010. He is a member of the North Carolina Writers Network. He is sharing a bit of information about his latest book, Cybersp@ce.
In honor of his sci-fi novel, I thought we could travel with him to the Space Bar which takes us to the Portal for Sci-Fi and Fantasy on Facebook. Pull up a stool and join us.

CYBERSP@CE-The novel is a sci-fi espionage story, with ingredients of international intrigue, artificial intelligence, action, suspense, and romance. Set mostly in the Nevada desert, Cybersp@ce includes cyber warfare between nation states, the fantastic virtual world of an alien computer, and the hunt for one of the world's greatest spies.
From inside their home located outside the small town of
Corona, New Mexico in 1947, a young boy and his parents, while watching a freak
lightning storm, hear a loud crash, after young Henry Summers witnesses what he
thinks is an alien spacecraft falling from the sky.
Many years later, Nick Reynolds is appointed as the head of
a Cyber Command task-force established to deal with the increasing cyber warfare
threat from China.
Soon after, a new, disturbing type of cyber attack emerges, just as Nick
learns that a massive Chinese cyber attack against the United
States infrastructure might be imminent.
When the evidence suggests that the threat is real and that the attack will
kill millions of people, Nick discovers that his team will not have enough time
or the technical resources to stop the incredibly advanced attack when it
comes.
Nick soon learns of another top-secret project, however, one
which might offer a way to stop the attack and spare the lives of hundreds of
millions of people.
Dr. Henry Summers works on that top-secret project with his
scientist daughter, Kate, inside Area 51 at Groom Lake,
Nevada. Working with Nick after years of
trying to reverse-engineer an alien spacecraft, the team has a breakthrough
when they discover how to interface with an alien ship's computer, by using a
cybernetic helmet, which they use to enter a fantastic, virtual world. Together
they work to save humanity from a horrific nuclear war, paving the way for a
fantastic and exciting future for humanity.
Cybersp@ce is the first novel in the Cybersp@ce Trilogy
