Greetings, time travelers from the past, present, and future! Today is the day for the launch party for The Time Travel Chronicles, the tenth installment of Samuel Peralta’s The Future Chronicles.
The anthology, which features short stories from authors including Tracy Banghart, Rysa Walker, Erik Wecks, Anthony Vicino, Lucas Bale, Stefan Bolz, Ernie Howard, Daniel Arthur Smith, Ernie Luis, Carol Davis, Ann Christy, Samuel Peralta, Robert J. Sawyer, and Michael Holden, brings readers fourteen wonderful tales of time travel for the special launch price of $0.99. (Price will go up to $5.99 soon, so get your copy now!)
For the launch party, I’m hosting two giveaways, one of which I’m coordinating both here and on Facebook since I need to use Rafflecopter.
The first giveaway is for a short story edit of up to 8,000 words. This edit includes two rounds of editing, which means this prize has a $200 value. Included with the edit are all my standard Pikko’s House client perks including custom short URL with the domain newbookby.me, ebook and booklet mock-ups, newsletter to my Book Lovers Club, and social media blast.
This giveaway will close tomorrow, November 7, at midnight EST. (meaning November 8 at 12:01 AM)
Since I love movies and television and time traveling, all I want you to do to get your first entry is to tell me your favorite line or scene from any one of your favorite time travel movies or tv shows. It can even be a time traveling scene in a non-time traveling movie (like Hermione and her Time Turner). Bonus entry if you can find a YouTube video of the scene or line.
You can either comment here or comment on my party giveaway thread, but either way, you must log your entry into the Rafflecopter widget below to enter.
My second giveaway is for a bottle of Police Box sprinkles from Geeky Sprinkles. To enter this giveaway, you’ll have to attend the launch party for The Time Travel Chronicles (click HERE) and watch for my giveaway at 8:30 PM EST. There’s a ton of other giveaways going on, so be sure to enter those as well for some cool prizes.
For those of you that want to get your hands on any of the other Geeky Sprinkles available (lightning bolts, Meeple, or steampunk), the Geeky Sprinkles founder has given me a special coupon code good for 20% off your order of Geeky Sprinkles. Just use the code FUTURECHRONICLES and your discount will be applied.
“Time travel. Since my first day on the job as a Starfleet captain Iswore I’d never let myself get caught in one of these godforsaken paradoxes -the future is the past, the past is the future, it all gives me a headache.” -Captain Janeway on ST: Voyager
Thanks for introducing me to police box sprinkles – what fun! Looking forward to reading the Time Travel Chronicles!!
My favorite time travel quote is from Star Trek the Next Generation:
“To try or not to try. To take a risk or play it safe. Your arguments have reminded me how precious the right to choose is. And because I’ve never been one to play it safe, I choose to try.”
– Jean-Luc Picard
Yeah, they’re really cool! You can check out the Harry Potter cupcakes I made with her lightning bolt ones: http://www.fictionalfood.net/2015/04/gryffindor-red-velvet-cupcakes-geeky-sprinkles/
Oh that’s a hard one but I love the scenes in Doctor Who where the Doctor introduces the TARDIS and people comment on it’s size. Or just the entire Van Gogh episode.
Not so much a scene but a movie — Sliding Doors the alternate time slip reality movie with parallel storylines running through it is one of my faves!
Marty McFly: Hey, Doc, we better back up. We don’t have enough road to get up to 88.
Dr. Emmett Brown: Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.
