Extant

Hey everybody! My book, Extant, has been published and is now available for sale right here! https://www.createspace.com/4092100

This is the same book I was talking about back in November when I posted about NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Asteroid headed for the earth, the scientists save humankind by setting up these airships and head out into space for the only planets they think they can inhabit. Well, I've written a "blurb" for it, and here it is:

The year is 2026. Amidst a new technological society, a meteor heads straight for the Earth, threatening everything the humans have. People are divided by region and sent out into space on airships, headed for the Alpha Centauri galaxy. On the airship, the only task of the people is to keep the population at safe levels. However, a baby born to one couple is deemed an expendable due to supposed mental disabilities from a spinal deformation and "demoved" via shuttlepod. 

A little more than a decade later, the child crash-lands on a planet inhabited by the strange Bartok people, intelligent human-sized insects adept at technology. Adopted under the wing of the widespread leader, Deshen, she learns from his rebel daughter about a battle brewing just under her nose, sparked by the rebellion of Deshen's woods-dwelling brother, Botten. As she advances in the Bartok school, she becomes an inextricable part of the plans laid down by the anti-war group that Deshen's daughter is a part of, as well as the small forest clan community.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World: Soon after it is announced that an asteroid will hit the Earth in under a month's time, main character(Steve Carell) Dodge's wife leaves him. He doesn't want to die alone, and his wife meant a lot to him, so he turns down his friend's wife's offer for a date. Soon after, upon returning to his apartment, he notices a girl(Penny, Keira Knightley) crying out on the fire escape and lets her bed with him for the night. It is discovered that three years' worth of mail has been turning up in her box rather than his. Going through it, Dodge finds a letter from his highschool sweetheart Olivia. Within two weeks of the asteroid's catastrophic collision with Earth, riots begin to break out, and one outside Dodge's home forces him to flee, but not before he can get up to Penny's apartment to save her. Taking cars and hitching rides, the two set out - Penny to reunite with her family and Dodge to find Olivia. This movie was funny as well as very serious and intense, leading to moments of absolute tears and heartbreak, and connecting with the characters, you rejoice at their unexpected and comfortable love. This is a very moving film, rated R though for some language, but five plus stars nonetheless. You won't regret going to see Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
