Meet My Boyfriend
Harper Brooks and TF Walsh are hosting My Book Boyfriend Blog Hop (A hop that I totally didn't pay attention to the details of, but those who know me know this is pretty much par for the course...)
My Book Boyfriend Blog Hop
Because boys in books are just better.
They can be hot-headed, dominant, reckless, or damaged—oh, and let’s not forget SEXY. They know all your deepest desires and fantasies. Vampires, shifters, rock stars, ultimate fighters, young billionaires, military men, or business tycoons—they even have the best occupations! You never have to worry about them leaving dirty clothes on the floor or skipping out on date-night to hang out with the guys. A perfect match!
Now if only they were real...
Was there ever a better man created?
Frankly my dear, I give a damn.
Rhett Butler...he is so freaking hot.
Okay, so I'll quit drooling...

Author of Frontiers (Cybersp@ce Series)
Hi Elizabeth!
Below is a little about the FRONTIERS, along with some interesting plot
elements from the book, and some corresponding facts, which I hope your readers
will find interesting!
FRONTIERS: BOOK TWO IN THE CYBERS@CE SERIES
*A Dream to Unite Humanity...*
Scientists discover the technology
to successfully construct Earth's first interstellar spacecraft, code named
Frontier. Hank Reynolds, a gifted and courageous test pilot for the United
States Air Force, is assigned to test
pilot humanity's first
interstellar spacecraft on a historic flight to Alpha Centauri. Under the
command of the fledgling Earth Space Alliance the spacecraft will carry human
beings to the stars, and beyond.
*A Plot to see it Fail*
Someone doesn't want to see this
happen and will stop at nothing to see it fail--including murder... When
Frontier is sabotaged, it leaves Hank stranded and alone to die in the Alpha
Centauri system. With their dreams
crumbling around them, will they
be able to discover who is behind the plot to steal the alien technology, and to murder
those closest to it?
Some Plot Elements & Facts Related to Frontiers:
v In Frontiers,
scientists build humanity's first spacecraft capable of interstellar flight,
which a craft that can travel faster than the speed of light
o
Fact: While Einstein's theory of relativity
suggested Faster than Light travel (FTL) is not possible, many theories have
been put forth as to how we might get around this galactic speed limit. Just
think warp drive or wormholes.
v In Frontiers,
the development of the interstellar spacecraft also results in the creation of
an alternative energy source, helping to stave off a rapidly dwindling world
supply of crude oil.
o
Fact: HSBC estimates the world will run out of
crude oil with 40-50 years.
v In Frontiers, several principal
characters discuss how critical it is that the advanced technology be unveiled
carefully and methodically to the world, or else the world could suffer
catastrophic consequences.
o
Fact: The Drake Equation, as it has become known, which
was first presented by Drake in 1961, is a probabilistic argument used to
estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in
the Milky Way galaxy. Drake's equation takes into account that a number of such
civilizations will end up destroying themselves with their own technology.
v In Frontiers, a
public announcement confirming the existence of sentient alien life causes
quite a stir among some segments of the world's population.
o
Fact: Studies like one by Paolo Musso, a member of
the SETI Permanent Study Group of the International Academy of Astronautics
(IAA) and the Pontifical Academy of Sciences studies, and others, see no
conflict between Christianity and the existence of extraterrestrial
intelligence.
Thank you so much for allowing me to discuss Frontiers with your readers!
Thank you Jeff!!!

Love the Book Boyfriend hop idea! And Jeff's book looks excellent :-) Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday to you too Jamie!
DeleteThanks, Jamie!
DeleteThe book boyfriend thing is too fun! And I'm a huge Rhett fan, myself :D
ReplyDeleteBack off lady, not sharing Rhett. LOL.
DeleteInteresting choice, Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out! :D
Hi, Jeff. Love that cover! The story sounds interesting, too. Best of luck. :)
It's a great give away Melissa! Your book looks so good. Can't wait to read it.
DeleteThanks, Melissa!
DeleteGreat post! Thanks for hopping with us!
ReplyDelete~H.A.B.
It's a fun hop! Glad to be part of it.
DeleteHi, Elizabeth....
ReplyDeleteInteresting Hop.... You ladies have all the fun!
Hi, Jeff...
Good luck with Frontiers... sounds like an intriguing read!
Thanks Michael!
DeleteThanks, Michael!
DeleteI confess that I have fallen in love with characters in books. Several times. It's always so sad when you turn that last page...
ReplyDeleteI know. I think Rhett is even more heart stealing because he walks away dejected at the end of the book. It's haunting. I need to go hug him!
DeleteNice pick for the blog hop, Elizabeth! And that's a fascinating post from Jeff. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine! You have a great weekend too!
DeleteThanks, Christine!
DeleteBook boyfriends are the best, cause their fake. LOL I have too many favorites to list. But Rhett is and always will be one of my all time favorites. He was dripping with swag before anyone knew what to call it!!!
ReplyDeleteOh he was. He is just the yummiest book guy ever. And you're right- totally has swag.
DeleteCan't say i have a one lol but I'm fine with that under my sun
ReplyDeleteLOL. I suppose you could choose a book girl friend.
DeleteYes, it took a strong man to tame Scarlett O'Hara, didn't it? Great choice!
ReplyDeleteScarlet definitely met her match in Rhett! To be honest, she really didn't deserve him. He needed a gal like...ME!
Delete#Don'tDoItRhett
DeleteHey! Leave Rhett alone. He can make his own decisions :P
DeleteRhett Butler -- it's the mustache, definitely. :|)
ReplyDeleteYep, though I'm not usually a mustache kind of gal.
DeleteOh, Rhett. Why aren't there more like you? Great choice, Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteI know. Rascals with a moral code...perfect combo.
DeleteI guess I fall in love with the hero in any book. Once I've finished the book, that's the end of the affair. Looks like a good space story. Good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteEver since Rhett and I book hooked up, I'm very particular about my heroes. Takes a lot to turn my head, or get into my head.
DeleteJeff, your book should drive sci-fi fans nuts. Congrats and I'm filled with suspense. Rhett really has your fire burning doesn't he Elizabeth? Hmmm?
ReplyDeleteOh, he most certainly does Miss Sheena-kay!!
DeleteThanks Sheena-kay!
DeleteMother Dragon would agree with you about Clark. Yet, her number one has always been Yul Bryner.
ReplyDeleteYul Bryner was pretty hot. Made the bald look cool.
DeleteCongrats to Jeff.
ReplyDeleteI've come to realise I don't read the kind of books which provide boyfriend material - I guess it'd have to be Mr Darcy for me. Or Tyler Durden... but, er, no...
You can have Clark Kent. Comic book sexy men count too.
DeleteThanks, Annalisa!
DeleteI'm pleased to meet Jeff and I always like reading about science.
ReplyDeleteRhett is gorgeous.
Yes he is! Science is cool.
DeleteIt' great to meet you too, Medeia!
DeleteProof that the way men and women experience books can often be very different...the "book boyfriend." That whole concept just eludes me. Lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd Frontiers looks AMAZEBALLS!
No book girlfriend for you? Not even one of those sexy gals in spandex from the comic universe?
DeleteYeah, I don't get the book boyfriend thing, either. As for the science fiction thing, that I get! Book looks pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like a strange pairing, but it has worked well...something for the gals and for the guys!
DeleteThanks, Steven!
DeleteOk, I totally get the book boyfriend thing and had a hard time scrolling past the book bf sexy abs, bloghop banner *fans self* Heck, I even get the book girlcrush thing, lol! Luckily, I'm a strong woman and managed to scroll down AND I'm glad I did. Frontiers sounds like a great sci-fi book! Congratulations Jeff!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you have such great self-control Elise!
DeleteThanks, Elise!
DeleteTwinny,
ReplyDeleteIf I ever plan a book tour, I will tell YOU it's a week LATER and then this way, you'll post the same day as the rest of us.
#EasySeckmanSolve
PS... Is it okay if I don't have a book boyfriend crush thing going on?
Have a happy writing week and hey, let's do a Charlie's Scribes post again soon... how about June 11 and June 18?
#ShamelessSeckmanPostPlug
See, the thing is...you never want to give me more than one date. If it's a 12-18, my brain locks in on the flexibility. To get through my thick skull, you need to say, post on the 12th fool. I have a brain that happily gets caught in loop holes.
DeleteJune 11th and 18th sounds great!! (note to self...not 11-18.)
Laughing at Koop above me. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd holy yummy… agreed… and it's not just the name… Rhett… Oh Rhett… :)
And go Jeff! His work looks fabulous and super smart. :)
He does have one sexy name.
DeleteThanks, Morgan!
DeleteI don't have any book boyfriends, because a man can't tie me down. I'm an independent girl, and I do what I want.
ReplyDeleteWhatever, whatever...I do what I want. (please hear that in the Cartman voice...works so much better)
DeleteWow! Frontiers looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I knew you'd choose Rhett ;)
Am I that predictable? Good ;)
DeleteThanks!
DeleteHi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteFinally, I get here and notice I weighed down with all the comments above my comment. I'm still desperately looking for a clone. Penny is a great help, but she needs her doggy naps.
Oh no, blog hop alert! Arggghhhhh!!!! make them stop! Sorry, but I feel better. Phew! :)
Yay to Melissa who is now officially everywhere. I click on a link to another link and there she is, again. I'm delighted for Melissa.
Thank you, Jeff, for discussing "Frontiers" with all the adoring fans that visit Elizabeth's lovely site.
Of course, I'm the perfect boyfriend in a book. Then again, one more time, arggghhhh!!! blog hops! LOL
Gary :)
I AM everywhere, Gary. I sneaked into the ninja's secret room and stole his cloning machine! AH-HAHAHAHAHA!
Delete:P
Aha, Melissa, that's excellent. Of course, you do realise he has a cloning machine that makes more cloning machines Yep, Melissa, I'm in every time zone. Weird, eh! :)
DeleteOops, sorry, Elizabeth. Not one to take over your comments section!
Gary :)
I rather enjoy how you take over!
DeleteHow, I suggest we mug Melissa and steal that cloning machine!
Aha and yes, I am the dude that doesn't sleep. Shall I hijack your comments section? Nah, let's get that cloning machine of Melissa. I'll check and make sure it's good to sneak in and get it.....
DeleteI LOOOVE Clark Gable!!!! Jeff has a great book cover!!
ReplyDeleteHe's a man who could totally take the dreamy title!!
DeleteThanks, Cathrina!
