Today is very special day.
I never tell lies, I only write them. | Jamás digo mentiras, solo las escribo.
Today is February 29!
Unfortunately, not everything is peachy...
Yes, I know I should be glad to receive good news. And I am, just this week I got my first review for Love Me Two Times, but also a new release: The Outpost.
I’m also gearing up for the release party, so no problems there.
However, when I was driving my kids to school this morning, my car started making some funny noises, especially when I was turning. Then the steering wheels started to shake wildly, like when you have a bump on a tire. I stopped, kneeled to see something, don’t know exactly what I was looking for since my knowledge in mechanics is limited to make sure the car has gas and oil (;-) ). So obviously, I didn’t see anything. I got back in the car, finally arrived to the school and when the kids got out and I accelerated, nothing happened!
Well, not exactly nothing, I felt and heard a noise coming from underneath the car. Although I don’t have my mechanic on “speed dial” he is on my cel’s phonebook. He said told me to leave the key with somebody at the school and he’s come to tow it later in the morning.
Already alerted the mrs. As she would have to pick up Daniel and Sebastian after school, also alerted the loan officer for some fast cash because only God knows how much is this going to cost me! Lol.
So in the words of Freddie Mercury:
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -
We are the champions!
The Outpost is out!

First review for Love Me Two Times
Can you see me jumping up and down?
Well, it coldn't be over better news, I got the first review for Love Me Two Times.
" Some women can totally change their mood by simply making a change in their hairstyle. Wear it up and it's sophistication, down and it's carefree fun. But, when Paul Barry doesn't notice the change from down to ponytail, and his date goes from Mary to Marion, he's in for a wild courtship in J.H.Bogran's Love Me Two Times...it is packed with laughs and woes as Paul falters now and then in keeping his women straight. Two-timing a woman was never this much hard work!"

The Outpost
I just received the most wonderful news from my publisher: The Outpost will be released on Feb/28!!!
Since I want you to know what the heck I'm talking about, here's a small excerpt and coverart for your ease ref.
THE OUTPOST
BLURB
Karl Jackson and Joseph Doyle are stationed aboard Track 7, an outpost monitoring the traffic in and out of the solar system. When Karl wakes up with his nose pressed against a metal plank, he soon realizes that the lack of gravity is only the beginning of his problems.
EXCERPT:
“Joe, my space suit is not working properly. I'm getting dizzy. Which is the fastest way to the door?” said Karl into his radio.
Joe Dyles’ voice came after a second, “Right on, partner. Let me see….Okay, turn to your left and go as fast as you can. I'm heading down to the chamber to help you get in.”
Karl followed his partner’s direction but found himself facing the rear of a thruster. He saw a gleam of pure white light growing into a flame right in the center of the hollow exhaust. An invisible forced pressed his chest hurling him away from the station.
Confused and dizzy, he tried desperately to grab one of the handles but he was a millisecond too late: the station was whirling away!
END OF EXCERPT
