Nerdscape

even intelligent beings want cheetos

This is my Nerdscape entry for the Hounded giveaway from author Kevin Hearne.

I figured I'd share my alien guy (tribute to x-files) in front of the English Oxford Dictionary and bag of my favorite chips.

Cheetos has not yet made it into the Oxford dictionary. It should soon though because I'm sure the word has been used a bazillion times by now ;-D

You Wish Cover

You Wish
by Mandy Hubbard
Release date: August 5, 2010
Description from the amazon:
Kayla McHenry’s sweet sixteen sucks! Her dad left, her grades dropped, and her BFF is dating the boy Kayla’s secretly loved for years.

Blowing out her candles, Kayla thinks: I wish my birthday wishes actually came true. Because they never freakin’ do.

Kayla wakes the next day to a life-sized, bright pink My Little Pony outside her window. Then a year’s supply of gumballs arrives. A boy named Ken with a disturbing resemblance to the doll of the same name stalks her.

As the ghosts of Kayla’s wishes-past appear, they take her on a wild ride . . . but they MUST STOP.

Because when she was fifteen? She wished Ben Mackenzie would kiss her. And Ben is her best friend’s boyfriend.

The contest is to promote the latest Alison Dare book release...

Alison Dare, Little Miss Adventures
by J. Torres
illustrated by J. Bone

Description from the amazon:
Alison Dare: Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft in fabulous, graphic adventures. Alison Dare is not your typical twelve-year-old. She's the daughter of an archaeologist/adventurer and the masked hero known as the Blue Scarab. To top it off, she's also the niece of an international super-spy; it's no surprise that a craving for danger is in her blood!

Unfortunately, her parents have locked her away at the prestigious St. Joan's Academy for Girls, hoping that this would lead to a more "normal" life for their daughter.

But despite all the strict rules at the school, Alison and her best pals - Wendy and Dot - somehow manage to find themselves involved in adventures that rival those of Alison's globetrotting, planet-saving relatives.

Whether it's magic genies, super-powered bank robbers, or a dastardly baron bent on world domination, Alison Dare delivers the best thrills since Indiana Jones and more action than Lara Croft!
