Today, instead of me blathering away
about the lack of organic, free-range Twinkies at Food Lion, I have a
very dear friend and excellent writer Liza O'Connor promoting her
latest book, The Gods of
Probabilities. When I was just starting out; trying
to become an author it was Liza who encouraged me, provided me
advice, and helped me grow. She also suggested my excellent editor
Danielle Fine,
as a good match for my twisty style after several others did not work
out. Liza is a prolific writer who likes to find love and romance in
every imaginable situation. Even if you do not care for romance as a
genre, you will enjoy her books as they are crafted with attention to
detail, interesting premises, and for her historical novels, so much
authenticity, you will swear you can hear horses clop past your
window.

Meet
Medusana & Lucifer
Medusana is a junior style
officer. So while the Sr. Style Officer is on maternity leave, she
takes her place on the Officers Round Table. Contrary to the evidence
and the instructions of Captain Zousan, she declares Pane guilty of
seven code violations, which angers our God Captain.
Excerpt
1:
“What is your prime
directive?” Zousan demanded.
“To ensure we look like
Gods,” she replied.
Second gripped her arm and
whispered in her ear with great energy.
She paled. “Forgive me,
Commander. My prime directive is to ensure the Path of Light and thus
I find the unstylish fellow not guilty of all but violation seven.
And to be honest, I will try, but I do not believe I can bring him
into compliance with our style standard.”
The auditorium filled with
chuckles at her conclusion.
Pane, if anything, grew
smaller. His head hung in shame.
“Then this court
procedure is concluded. Second, you are to locate me a new style
officer at once, someone less prejudicial who knows our prime
directive without being told.”
(After complimenting Pane
for a job well done, he noticed the young woman remains at the round
table.)
“I want her gone,”
Zousan barked, pointing at Medusana. The pretty brunette looked at
him, her eyes rounding in fear, and without another word she scurried
from the room, her curls bouncing about like writhing snakes.
Excerpt
ended:
When Zousan wants someone
gone, he normally means sent through the next black hole they pass.
Thus imagine his surprise when he later contacts the Dreams
department only to find Medusana beneath the table servicing the
worthless Poseidon Jr.
When he calls in Second to
explain why she’s ‘not gone’ yet, Second admits she escaped a
locked room, and the only way that could happen is if one of his
security guys assisted her. It takes him a while, but he finds the
culprit: Lucifer.
Lucifer has inserted a
virus into the ship’s computer and threatens to kill everyone
unless he and Medusana are allowed to leave the ship alive. After a
bit of negotiation, Zousan agrees to send him to the closest planet,
which he hopes is the nearby sun.
Excerpt
2:
“Computer, state name
of the planet closest to ship.”
“Planet Zepwick.”
“Damn it. I wanted him
sent to the sun!”
“You can’t change
that, but you didn’t state when
they’ll arrive. I can send them back to a time megazega-echons ago.
That should keep them out of trouble.”
“That’s not even
possible.”
“Oh, I can do it.
However, established time doesn’t like having its data changed, so
it ignores new input,” the female computer-voice explained in a
tone one might use when talking to a child.
Zousan laughed at the
computer’s brilliance. “Do it.” It was a clever solution.
Lucifer and Medusana would arrive on an ice-cold barren planet with
no way to influence, change or interact with it. He couldn’t have
chosen a better Hell if he’d tried.
The
Gods of Probabilities
By
Liza
O’Connor
Blurb
The Gods require a time
shifter to ensure the Path of Light reigns during the final collapse
of possibilities. To speed the process of finding an Oceanic with the
specific talents needed, God DNA is induced in several batches of
Oceanic eggs, resulting in a generation of brilliant tiny blue
Oceanic children.
One charming boy named
Drogan has the ability to manipulate quantum reality in ways that
will strengthen the Path of Light. Only trouble is that his gift runs
a high probability of killing him and wiping out the Path of Light
for good.
While the bureaucratic
Gods will try to assist, in Quantum all possibilities not only can,
but do happen, so the
future is never certain.

Thanks for having my troublesome Gods over. I thought you'd like them, given their dark natures.
Always a pleasure having you stop by.
This series looks great. I know Liza's books always keep me guessing and laughing!
