Hello, today I am posting something a bit different. Alex J Cavanaugh- a/k/a Ninja Captain is releasing his newest book Dragon of the Stars and I have decided to participate in his release blitz and scavenger hunt. You may wonder what it is we are searching for and here the mystery begins we are searching for none other than the mini ninja himself. Please leave a comment with a guess as to where he is hiding. It's that simple..

I have written a poem to kick start the event. I hope you will take a minute to read and join me in wishing Alex success with his book.
Dragon's Song
opening gateways to the galaxies
beyond the milky way a
bridge
between two worlds a new
star
adventure awaits over the
ridge
commanding his own
star-ship
man with a vision to soar
the sky
living in harmony with his bride
lofty dreams float in a
pilot's eye
until turmoil surrounds
his world
what and whom must he
defeat
his heart hears the wild
beast sing
pulses of energy, with each beat
eyes ablaze, flying across
the heavens
echoes of the fabled
dragon's song
mighty vessel, about to be unleashed
fierce warrior singing loud and strong
darting across the
celestial sphere
on a hunt for the legendary beast
Hyrath's only hope, can it be found
halting enemy fleets about to be released
Aden, man of honor, knight
of valor
pain and anguish penetrate
the sky
swooping on the wings of a dragon
unflinching, he will not let
his world die
honoring the hymns of his beloved
duet song of two wandering hearts
determined to wear the golden ring
will he survive when the battle starts
duet song of two wandering hearts
determined to wear the golden ring
will he survive when the battle starts
I guess we need to buy the
book
and let the adventure
unfold
Available today!
Dragon of the Stars
By Alex J.

The ship of

Science Fiction – Space Opera/Adventure/Military
The future is set for Lt.
Commander Aden Pendar, son of a Hyrathian Duke. Poised to secure his own command
and marriage to the queen’s daughter, he’ll stop at nothing to achieve his
goals.
But when the Alliance
denies Hyrath’s claim on the planet of Kavil and declares war on their world,
Aden finds his plans in disarray. Entrenched in battle and told he won’t make captain, Aden’s world begins to collapse. How will he salvage his career and
future during Hyrath’s darkest hour?
One chance remains–the
Dragon. Lost many years prior, the legendary ship’s unique weapon is Hyrath’s
only hope. Can Aden find the Dragon, save his people, and prove he’s capable of
commanding his own ship?

DeleteTruedessa, hello and nice to meet you. Great Poem!!! Congrats to Alex!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathrina..nice meet you as well..Go Alex!
DeleteWonderful piece, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks blogoratti - i hope you will jump over to Alex's site and take a look around...
DeleteLook at you go for the ninja wannabe at your show, nicely done. Sure the book will be fun
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, I thought I would help a friend and join in on a bit of fun.
DeleteWow! That poem rocks. Truedessa, I am truly honored. Thank you for sharing my book, the scavenger hunt, and that beautiful tale. I might be biased, but that's your best poem yet.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite welcome my friend..wishing you much success and I'm glad you enjoyed the poem written just for you and your release.
DeleteI feel like I can almost hear the dragon's song from your poem. It was lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd it looks like Mini-Alex is hanging out next to a poster for the Cassa series by our very own Alex J. Cavanaugh!
Yay for Dragon of the Stars release day!
Thank you for visiting and the lovely comment. May the stars guide his way...
DeleteI knew that you would have a poem for Alex's release day when I saw your name in the list of hunt sites! Well done, Truedessa! I came across that Cassa Universe trilogy image some place before. Now it's in a picture frame ~ maybe in a study that the real Alex writes in. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteHi Fundy, You would be right a poem would have to be somewhere near. Smiling..thanks for visiting..I hope you have a good week.
DeleteNice poem. Mini-Alex is introducing the new book to it's book siblings. How sweet.
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit it, but my eyesight is terrible. When I peered at the poster, I thought I was seeing Cacca-Universe, which made me laugh since I have the humor sensibilities of a six-year-old. Cassa Universe. Jeez, maybe it's time for lunch.
Thanks and a good guess as to what he is doing..
DeleteCongrats to Alex on the launch of his book. It looks wonderful! And your poem today is even more glorious than usual, which is saying something. It has fire, and warrior power! Loved it.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
DeleteThanks for reading and your kind words..I always appreciate your support.
What a cool poem. Great post. It's that cute how Mini-Alex is introducing Dragon of the Stars to the Cassa trilogy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting..I wanted to add a special touch and I am a bit of a poet so a poem had to come into view.
DeleteMini Alex is showing off the Cassa Trilogy poster
ReplyDeleteThat is what it looks like he is doing..
DeleteThat is a beautiful poem for Alex's book.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to read it..much appreciated..
DeleteWonderful poem!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jay again - Mini-Alex is reading in front of the Cassa Trilogy poster!
Thank you...I am looking forward to reading this book.
DeleteMini Alex can't decide to read DotS on his ipad or his printed copy. Decisions, decisions...
ReplyDeletehaha - what will that ninja decide to do?
DeleteThis is probably the nicest promo post I've ever seen. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment, I've never done a promo post before. I offered to post his release on my site as he is always so kind to come and read my poetry.
DeleteThe tour continues with a framed promotional poster of the Dragon's predecessors and Mini-Alex proudly showing off the new tome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a GOREGOUS poem, Truedessa!
Hi Beverly,
DeleteThank you for your kind comment. I wasn't sure how the poem would be received.
Looks like he is in a book store there Truedessa. Sounds like you might have read the book already.
ReplyDeleteJo, I have not read the book yet, but I have placed my order. I put the poem together based on snippets that Alex provided on his site and then added my own thoughts.
DeleteI am guessing a bookstore! I am happy to see Alex's book here today. :) Wishing him the best of luck! Loved your poem!
ReplyDeleteJess
Thanks so much! Have you read his book?
DeleteFantastic poem! Mini-Alex is about to check out the Cassa series on his Kindle.
ReplyDeleteHe could be doing that, I wonder how many books he has on his kindle.
DeleteGreat poem! I think Mini-Alex is reading on his ipad.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a good guess.
DeleteBrilliant poem. Mini-Alex is protecting mementos of Not-Mini Alex's work. He knows that some day (soon) they will be worth a mint.
ReplyDeleteLet us hope for great success for our ninja captain.
DeleteThat poem is such a teaser to read the book, well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWow, beautiful poem !
ReplyDeleteWish Alex all success :)
Shared it through Google plus and twitter.
Thanks for visiting and sharing through your other social media :)
DeleteCongratulations to Alex! I've had the opportunity to read the book already and it's my favorite by him yet. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to start reading..Lucky you :)
DeleteHi Trudessa - congratulations on the poem .. I'm sure there's a song there too - so pleased that you wrote this for Alex and his launch .. he's really chuffed. It's great you're promoting Alex' launch ..
ReplyDeleteComing over from the A-Z - but - cheers Hilary
Hi Trudessa .. I got the mud maiden from G Images .. 'Gardens of Heligan' .. and then I chose one ... that wasn't a download.
DeleteSo I would think that was all right .. I'm not good with copies of photos .. but I try and chose ones that are allowable ..
Hope that answers your question .. I couldn't email you as there's no email .. cheers H
Thanks Hilary, that particular photo is calling me to write her story.
DeleteWow, great poem! Here from Alex Cavanaugh's on the scavenger hunt, but now I've forgotten what it is I was thinking to do/write.
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet you. I'm a poetry fan.

Thanks glad you enjoyed the poem. Did you want to guess the location of mini -Alex?
DeleteI think Mini Alex must be envisioning what life-size Alex's new book will look like on a poster just like that one showcasing it's "book brothers."
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to show tribute to a friend. I <3 poetry!
Brandy from Brandy's Bustlings
I think he needs a full size poster of his new book. Hope sales are flying..
DeleteI have been enjoying all the new blogs. There are so many interesting posts to read.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific poetic tribute to Dragon of the Stars!
ReplyDeleteThank you - It was really fun to do and I am just glad people enjoyed it :)
DeleteWhat a lovely tribute. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra..
DeleteThat poem really gets me interested in knowing more about the book. Awesome. As for Mini Alex, he must be studying some Cassa history. That, or acting as minion for Big Alex.
ReplyDeleteThanks hopefully more will want to read Dragon of the Stars..
DeleteI'm still trying to figure out where my Alex is ... and it's been two days :)
ReplyDeletehaha - I will have to go back and look at yours..I think he is hiding next to a picture frame in mine..waiting to rock the wall with fame..
DeleteLovely poem! Mini-Alex is featuring a poster of Big Alex's other books. Nice framed print!
ReplyDeleteFramed print it could be..he will need another one for his newest book.
DeleteThis is awesome! Thanks for the reminder that his book was released. I love Dragons!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lauren..you have to love the magical realm of dragons..
DeleteWhat an amazing poem to help launch Alex's new book. Impressive. Thanks for sharing it. I think Mini-Alex is chilling in front of a poster of the Cassa Trilogy while reading DotS. Have a great night. Eva
ReplyDeleteGood Morning,
DeleteI started reading Dragon and I have to say I am enjoying every page.
Online Promo for Big-Alex's books. Mini-Alex knows the promo gigs, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteHa well promo gigs certainly help..:)
DeleteI just finished it. Excellent read.
ReplyDeleteI will be finishing it up today ..an excellent read indeed..
DeleteToo cool to put Mini Ninja in front of such a great poster. At least I'm assuming that's a poster! Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
ReplyDeleteThank visiting..I think that is what it turned out to be a poster.
DeleteMorning, Truedessa. My mailbox is bursting. Will email you soon, okay?
