How to survive going Outbound - Liza's ten step program.

How to Survive Going Outbound

1) Avoid being killed by hungry mobs trying to get into the Shaman Territory.

The Shaman regret they had no choice but to bar their gates. They cannot feed such a mass of people and the fact you keep killing those around you and eating them is NOT helping! So don't expect them to change their mind.

2) Live in the Shaman's protected lands--Before they closed the gate.

3) Get passage on the LAST OUTBOUND SHIP.
This means you should have paid your Outbound fee years ago before all the city people turned into cannibals, back when all was good on Earth, before it's poles decided to reverse, allowing our electromagnetic shield to collapse, which resulted in constant bombardment of solar flares that wiped out all our digital money, making us poor, and destroying everything electronic, making us useless.

Behold a 63-word long sentence !!!

4) And this is really important. Have your entry into the ship written into a prophecy a hundred years ago.  I know it sounds like overkill, but trust me, when it comes time for you to actually getting on the ship, you're going to need to be special to be accepted. We all know the rich can buy your spot right out from under you. And they will try because you've been given the first class berth.

5) Agree to share your first class berth with a giant blue bull. Turns out this will greatly please the shaman, and it will keep at bay anyone else who wants to steal your berth when you head off to lunch. 

6) Oh wait, you'll need to marry your ghost wife's sister first, because only a family unit can request to go outbound, and no, you cannot marry the bull. It has to be a family unit that can actually bear offspring.

7)Acquire a crafty lawyer who has trained all his life for just this case, or your awful parents will sue to keep you from leaving Earth. There is nothing that says "I love you, please don't leave," like a lawsuit.

8) Finally, you get on the ship, expecting to have fun times with your two wives for 90 days. Then you discover the first class berth you got comes with some responsibilities. Like taking care of all the other colonists who will be joining you.

You are their leader.  Seriously? You couldn't even get your younger brother to feed the blue bull oats. But given you have no choice, you, Saran, and Tamara agree to lead the rest of the annoying, whining, thieving colonists.

9) Take a deep breath and relax for a moment, because things are going to get so much worse, you should try to enjoy this moment of discontent. Turns out, the shaman are not very adept at weeding out unpleasant people. I mean seriously, some of these colonists are lethal...as in they blow up if you question them. I don't mean they get angry and curse, or throw a punch. I mean they blow up. Kaboom! And while the ship is built like a bunch of legos so that destroying a part doesn't destroy everything, still some of the sentients aboard are critical for you to succeed once you arrive on Terranue.

10) Don't worry about Terranue and it's multiple dangers yet because you're going to die BEFORE you reach it. All three of you. Sorry about that. In the Mulitverse anything can happen or not happen. Reality turns out to be really flexible.

Well, this doesn't sound well at all! The title of this blog promised to tell us how to survive, not how to be annoyed, sued, wed, tormented and then die!  Something is not right. I'm going straight to top to get to the bottom of this.

Back from my visit with Zousan, the God of all Gods, except for the first God, and the Gods in other multiverses... 

Anyway, Zousan thinks he'll be able to find a lagging universe which he can focus upon and come up with a better resolution than everyone dying. 

This is why positive thinking is important to all of us. If you expect positive results you are more apt to get them.  Which explains why all those scientists keep finding whatever bizarre particle they are looking for. If you want it to exist bad enough, then it will appear out of nowhere and take a bow.

And that concludes How you survive going Outbound.

Sabine Priestley shares her latest Alien Attraction series:Liberation

There's a mystery afoot, and only Sabine can explain it. I've listed the order in which the books are numbered above, yet oddly her latest book Liberation, published December 1, 2015, is actually listed as book 3, while Alien Bond, listed as book 4 came out in November.  

Space Rep: Maybe Sabine has trouble counting...

Liza: As well as she writes, not likely.

Space Rep: Well, perhaps in our multiverse, two parallel universes collapsed and in one it was book 3 and in the other it was book 4, but since the books came out so close together, ultimately it didn't matter.

Liza: Possibly. But let's see what Sabine has to say.

Space Rep: Isn't she busy today? Her book just came out you know.

Liza: Of course, I know! I'm the one who told you that! Now let's see what Sabine has to say:

Sabine (blipping in from nowhere): Is that you guys making my ears burn? Oh, hey! I’m back in the multiverse, excellent!

I hear you need an explanation. I did a bit of time traveling? No, not really. Well, maybe, but I can’t let the government know about it so here’s the “real" story.  

I wrote the short story during a frenzied weekend before I signed my first contract with Kensington for Alien Attachments and totally forgot about it (the short story, not AA). During a discussion with some authorly peeps a little over a year ago, short stories came up. I had just finished Liberation and went to find that short. The really cool thing is that Torril Anantha is in Liberation and Rebellion, but it’s not the same man. That would be silly and make him something like twelve when he’s leading the Galactic Trade Organization. I was going to simply change his name when a beta reader pointed out that the two Torrils could be related. And the short could be *part* of the AA series. Blew my mind, I mean yeah, I had it planned all along.

Alien Bond is actually a sequel to the other three books. And now there’s this whole other story that needs to happen to close the gap between Liberation and Alien Bond. The question, of course, is who’s the couple that will span the time between Balastar and Ria, and Torril Anantha JR. (see what I did there?) and Kara? Now there’s a mystery for you. Maybe I’ll put it up for a vote.

Space Rep: Thanks for sharing. Wow, who would have thought it possible. Sabine can time travel!

Following the signal of foreign psi to an old abandoned building on Florin 5, Balastar Alder literally stumbles across the pugnacious raven-haired beauty, Kit Athorika.

He’s not the only one who’s looking for the mysterious portal making devices in her possession. When Torogs attack, she ports them to safety. Without the help of a single Portal Master.

Balastar offers to repay the favor by getting her off-planet and back to her own ship. Their escape is complicated when the Torog’s pursue. Forced to go silent and lay-low in an asteroid field, they have little to do. Fortunately, the chemistry between them ignites and they find endless ways to occupy their time.

Balastar convinces her to come and meet his boss, Lord Cavacent. Recently relocated to Earth, the Sandarian clan included a handful of rogue Portal Masters. Kit has her own reasons for hating and fearing the Portal Masters, but she needs all the help she can get to save her planet. She reluctantly agrees to seek out Lord Cavacent’s help, and his connections to the Galactic Trade Organization and its powerful military.

The Portal Masters’ Guild on Sandaria has controlled intergalactic portals throughout the galaxy for centuries, and jealously guard their secrets. One of those secrets has kept Kit’s home world under quarantine for nearly thirty years.  But portals across the galaxy are failing and the guild is getting desperate.

Finding themselves bonded wasn’t expected, but having a psi-mate had its advantages. Can Kit and Balastar free an entire planet and take down a guild as old as the  Masters without losing their lives?

"What are you doing?" she said, her voice a hiss. "That's the most congested vector off the planet."

"And because of that, it has the highest hold pattern."

The side of her mouth pulled upward. "You're not going to use the vector."

He winked at her. She was a pilot all right.

"Are you sure this shiny bucket can handle it?"

"She can handle it. Can you?"

"Pfft. I guarantee I've done more vectorless in-and-outs than you'll ever do."

Interesting. The only reason for not using the atmosphere controlled vectors was either to avoid detection or because of the need for speed.

A lifelong lover of books, Sabine grew up on Science Fiction, Fantasy and Romance novels. As a child, she wanted to be an astronaut and travel the stars looking for aliens. As an adult she’s seriously disappointed we’ve yet to establish so much as a moon base (although she gives a hearty nod to the ISS) and is pretty sure Humans aren’t ready to meet ET. An Electrical Engineer and Cultural Anthropologist by training, she's a geek with heart. She’s lived in more states than she cares to admit and loves to travel. 

When not in far off lands, you can frequently find her walking the local beaches and plotting her next adventure. Sabine lives in Florida with her husband, kids, cats and an increasingly large mess of characters in her head.
