APOCALYPSE BABES: Nashville

It's been said that a sure sign of the coming apocalypse is an 80s roller skate disco movie coming to DVD (with special features). In my science-fiction novel series entitled Apocalypse Babes, a stylish group of twenty-something friends are torn from the Babylonian arms of 2006 West Hollywood and flung nearly thirty years into the past. It might be because one of them purchased the taboo film in a nostalgic moment, setting off a chain of events more disturbing than a roller skating conga line. They wake up in an apocalyptic—but strangely familiar—landscape, complete with a hidden mountain compound and retro survivalists, hinting at hidden and retro issues they must face if they want to survive.

Death toll rises as river crests, floods Nashville

In an effort to raise relief money for the victims of the middle Tennessee flood of 2010, a group of authors have come together to auction off critiques, SWAG, or other sundries. Check out Do The Write Thing For Nashville for details. Also, find them on Facebook.

Depending on who you talk to, this is a 500 to a 1,000 year event. Most victims weren't in flood plains, which means no flood insurance, which means devastation. In my small community outside of Nashville, there have been over 700 requests for help alone.

Please be a part while helping your writing career (I know I will). It's win-win!
