Yup, it's that time again when the author turns into promotion/event organizer.
I enjoy this part, never fear. Especially the bit where I find myself with masses of new things, good news, and other joyfuls to share.
So stay tuned, or keep an eye on http://www.czerneda.com for the next announcements!
WHOOOO!!! I get to meet readers! (That part? I LOVE.)

Snippet Tuesday-Aryl!
As I await--eagerly--the release of This Gulf of Time and StarsI thought a snippet that helps lead up to the new trilogy would be tasty.
Go to https://www.facebook.com/JulieCzerned... for the latest, from Riders of the Storm
In which Aryl Sarc strives for a future.

Worldbuilding... an example
For #snippetTuesday I've posted a chunk from Reap the Wild Wind
on https://www.facebook.com/JulieCzerned... (which is public--you don't have to be on fb to see it)
As you'll see, my inspiration and source material came from the Amazon rainforest, particularly when the river itself floods and the bases of the trees are in water. It's an amazing natural wonder--and the canopy high above makes for an environment both foreign and dangerous of itself, yet beautiful.
I've also posted the initial cover sketch by the famed Luis Royo for the book. He used images from the real rainforest, altering colours and adding details from my text.
The result? A world and characters come to life.

Snippet Tuesday-Mac!
For those in the know, Mac--Dr. Mackenzie Connor--is one of my most beloved characters. A salmon researcher on the British Columbia coast, in the not too distant future, Mac has successfully ignored humanity's entry into a multi-species union. They haven't ignored her.
Join Mac as she meets her first Sinzi, the race responsible for it all.

From Migration, recently reprinted in a special omnibus edition Species Imperative

Tomorrow's snippet: GULF!
It being 3 months till upcoming new book, it's time to share. Very exciting!
It will probably take me all day, however, to choose what won't be a spoiler.
Might have to settle for the least-spoilery!
Whee!

I'm back!
At last, I've found my way into Goodreads. My apologies for my long absence. I was--let's say there was something of a hiccup logging in here.
Fixed! (Though if there is another Julie Czerneda in here--or multiples--I didn't mean it, honest.)
What's new? SO MUCH NEW!
Finished my new SF. Reunification #1. Sira's back! And so are Morgan, Huido, Barac, and more! It'll be out November 2015, but expect snippets.This Gulf of Time and Stars
Plus, gorgeous cover by Matt Stawicki
Now I'm back to work on #2, called THE GATE TO FUTURES PAST. Matt's already on the cover. It's coming out in Sept 2016. Which means this summer? I'm writing!
Nice to be back here. Julie
