To celebrate the release of CassaStorm, Alex J. Cavanaugh (aka - The Ninja Captain) is touring the blogosphere this week and answering questions from his crazy fans. (;
Here's my question I scrambled to come up with at the last minute brilliant question:
CassaStorm
By Alex J Cavanaugh
(Release date: September 17)
From the Amazon Best Selling Series!
A storm gathers across the galaxy…
Commanding the Cassan base on Tgren, Byron thought he’d put the days of battle behind him. As a galaxy-wide war encroaches upon the desert planet, Byron’s ideal life is threatened and he’s caught between the Tgrens and the Cassans.
After enemy ships attack the desert planet, Byron discovers another battle within his own family. The declaration of war between all ten races triggers nightmares in his son, threatening to destroy the boy’s mind.
Meanwhile the ancient alien ship is transmitting a code that might signal the end of all life in the galaxy. And the mysterious probe that almost destroyed Tgren twenty years ago could return. As his world begins to crumble, Byron suspects a connection. The storm is about to break, and Byron is caught in the middle…
“CassaStorM is a touching and mesmerizing space opera full of action and emotion with strong characters and a cosmic mystery.” – Edi’s Book Lighhouse
"Cavanaugh makes world building on the galactic scale look easy. The stakes affect the entire known universe and yet Cavanaugh makes it intensely personal for our hero. The final installment of this series will break your heart and put it back together."

“…mesmerizing story of survival, personal sacrifice, tolerance, and compassion. It’s a rare jewel that successfully utilizes both character and plot to tell a story of such immense scope and intimate passion…” - Nancy S. Thompson, author of The Mistaken

Elise, that made me laugh! Thanks so much. You rock!
ReplyDeleteI'm not plugging my brain in either. Congrats, Alex!
ReplyDeleteElise you are too darn funny :D!!
ReplyDeleteLOL yeah, armpit farts are far less dangerous
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL. YOu ask great questions.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a cool instrument, Alex, but I'm not sure I'd want one attached to my overworked brain, lol! Elise, I can't even do armpit farts. You're a woman of many talents.
ReplyDeleteSia McKye Over Coffee
Awesome question! And I loved his answer. Only I want my brain wired to a guitar AND a piano, a harp, and a violin. Lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat question, great answer. But I don't think I want my brain wired to anything. I'm not sure it could focus on anything long enough to work properly.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Alex!
Yeah, have to say I'm not a fan of anything wired into my brain. Though the idea of being able to create exactly what my mind envisions is alluring.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I don't think anyone would want to hear the music my brain would make. Congrats to Alex :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I LOVE your illustrations and your honesty. I think Alex's instrument would be great. Maybe finally I could be musical.
ReplyDeleteElise, too funny!
ReplyDeleteFrom the look of those poor twisted notes, I agree that it would be safer if you stuck with the armpit instrument.
Writer In Transit
*snort* you're way too funny, Elise! Congrats to Alex!
ReplyDeleteI was all for that instrument until Elise demonstrated how it can go wrong. I'd make an adjustment for myself. Taking Violet from Rachel Morgan's Creepy Hollow series ability to let her enchanted weapons appear at will. I'll only let the guitar appear when I want it to and since it is enchanted will automatically play whatever I want. There, potential brain damage issue resolved.
ReplyDeleteNice way to promote Alex's new book Elise. Loads of fun and congrats Alex.
Alex's dream instrument sounds... painful! LOL Congrats Ninja Captain!
ReplyDeleteAnd let's do a Kickstarter to get that 'armpit fart' instrument made, Elise! :)
That would a pretty amazing instrument! Congrats Alex :)
ReplyDeleteLove the drawings.
Never know it might be fun to be hooked in
ReplyDeletemy son is the armpit fart king! ya'll shall make sweet sweat music together! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my God...you are flipp'n hilarious! Bahahahahah!!!
ReplyDeleteGo ALEX!!! I bet he'd rock that instrument too. No surprise there.
I loved your comics, Elise. Armpit farts are my best talent, too! Congrats to Alex on the release of CASSASTORM!! Woohoo!! :-)
ReplyDeleteBest to Alex! My instrument would sound exactly like a river in New Hampshire, when nobody else is around.
ReplyDeleteVery creative, Elise....your little toons never fail to bring a smile to my face. =)
ReplyDeleteLOL! And that would be a very cool instrument! I want one that does the piano. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Great question and I love the comics. So happy for Alex!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely hilarious! *LOL* Yay for Alex!
ReplyDeleteBonjour n'stuff,
ReplyDeleteAh yes, a brain guitar. Which in my case, would be an air guitar. Well done to the ninja dude.
Well done to you, Elise. Your hairstyle is the bestest.
Where the heck is my clone?
Gary
I think I'd prefer an exhibit of your insect collection rather than the armpit music. I like the drawing too!

Interesting comic relief. I always sing better in my head too! Congratulations to Alex!
ReplyDeleteooh I'd love a brain guitar too!
