Hello everyone!
Hope you’ve been having a fantastic summer! First of all, I owe you all an apology for not updating as frequently as I should have. The truth is that this summer has been rather hectic and thus I haven’t been able to put out fresh posts as much as I’d like to. On the plus side, I hope that I will be able to rekindle your interest in the next few weeks with new posts, including a delectable Dalek cupcake recipe in celebration of the return of Doctor Who. I will also be writing up reviews of each new episode so keep your eyes peeled for that one!
One of the other reasons that I have been away for as long as I have is because I have written a book. I know what you’re thinking: “The Alba Blogger wrote a cookbook?!” Unfortunately I have to disappoint you there. However, if you are a fan of science fiction then I have something that may intrigue you. The book is called “Canvas”, set in a virtual reality world where humanity seeks refuge after the world as we know it has been left barren and desolate. Here is the blurb for those of you who are interested:
In the distant future, the world as we know it is gone. Ravished by a series of disasters, planet Earth has become completely uninhabitable. Desperate to survive such a terrible fate, humanity preserves themselves in the technological marvel which has the power to preserve life at the cost of their freedom, a machine known only as the “Lazarus Labyrinth”. Enter Canvas, a virtual utopia created by the consciousness of each individual preserved within the life support machine. Nestled safely within the walls of the Cranium Citadel, the citizens seem to be living in an era of peace and prosperity. This illusion however is shattered by the arrival of the mysterious Reverend Thaddeus who seeks to warn them of the encroaching darkness seeking to claim them all. What secrets lie beyond the walls? The Citadel will stand until the bitter end but one must ask, for how long?
I’m hoping to publish the book as soon as possible on places such as Lulu.com so I will keep you updated when it comes out! Until then, feel free to tell your friends, family, heck, even that relative who is a closeted sci-fi fan! My main goal is to spread this story to as many people as possible and your support would be greatly appreciated. I will post previews within the next few weeks and hope that you all enjoy it. My main aim here is to create a story that everyone will enjoy and become invested in and your support would mean the world to me.
Anyway, I apologise for my rambling there but I hope it gives you some insight as to why I haven’t been as active as I probably should have been throughout these past few months. As always, hope you have an amazing time as the summer comes to its chilly end!
Have a great day,
The Alba Blogger
