Release Day Blitz for Fighting Gravity by Cherie Reich

 

Today I receive author Cherie Reich for a  special guest post during the release day of her book Fighting Gravity.

 

Traveling the Planets in the Gravity Trilogy

In my Gravity trilogy (Defying Gravity, Fighting Gravity, and Pull of Gravity), I created new planets for my aliens.

Persea is a verdant planet filled with strange creatures such as the rabbix, the draken, and the fluffter. Perseans live in harmony with nature, but don’t take that to mean that they aren’t an advanced civilization.

Medusa is a planet suffering from an asteroid hit. Most of the plants and animals died on the surface. The Medusans live underground in intricately built cities, but they long for a new planet.

Aresia is a harsh planet. Most of it is covered with red sand, although there are frigid oceans along its poles. The Aresians are a difficult people who use daimons (spirit guides) to live into adulthood.

Cupidis is a beautiful planet with its bluish purple sky. Think Mt. Olympus. These winged Cupidians live the good life.

The last planet shown in the Gravity trilogy is Earth. After an asteroid struck us, everything changed. New York City is no longer surrounded by water. St. Louis has beachfront property, and in Texas, a crew is planning to take some of the brightest and most cunning on a space trip to a new planet.

To travel to these distant places, all you need is a spaceship and knowing where the neighborhood wormhole is located.

Thank you for hosting me during my blog tour! Don’t forget that Defying Gravity is free on Amazon from May 1-4.

Fighting Gravity

BOOK TWO

by Cherie Reich

May 1, 2012

Forced into executing Aresia’s people, Phoebus escapes the Aresian Guard by flying his spaceship through a wormhole.

The only single woman of marrying age, Marissa flees her prospects of becoming Elder McGee’s third wife for a chance at freedom upon the New Atlantic Ocean.

When Phoebus’s spacecraft crashes upon an asteroid-ravaged Earth, he is captured by a rogue Earthling youth and thrown into a cellar. Marissa stumbles upon the spacecraft, but it explodes before she can find any sign of the alien. When she awakens, she discovers the alien’s whereabouts and vows to help him. They plot his escape when they learn Phoebus’s Aresians have landed and are searching for him. Phoebus and Marissa must battle against their despair and their peoples in their quest for freedom and love. And through it all, an Earthling and an Aresian will find it easier to fight gravity than their love for each other.

Defying Gravity

by Cherie Reich

Homesick upon the SS Perseid, Linia, a young linguist, thinks she signed up for a mission of peace, but her crew members have another plan: attack the planet Medusa.

Bored with his dying planet, Alezandros, a space cruiser pilot, joins the Medusan Army in his quest for adventure.

When the SS Perseid clashes with the Medusans’ space cruisers, Alezandros and Linia’s lives intertwine. Sucked through a wormhole, they crash upon a post-apocalyptic Earth and are captured by cannibals. In adjacent cells, Alezandros and Linia cast their differences aside for a common bond: escape. But when romantic feelings emerge between them, they might do the unthinkable because for a Medusan and a Persean to fall in love, it would defy gravity.

BOOK THREE

Pull of Gravity by Cherie Reich

Forthcoming 2012

Book Description: A no-nonsense Earthling corporal, Nike accepts a mission to destroy the winged-people of Cupidis to give her race a chance at a new life.

A spoiled Cupidian prince, Edonys gets whatever he wants until his dying father tells him he must choose a mate and take his rightful place as king.

When Nike’s space cruiser lands upon Cupidis, she’s taken to the royal palace where she crosses paths with Prince Edonys. His arrogance leads her to believe her mission of domination will be easy. Edonys refuses his father’s last request to fall in love, but Nike isn’t anyone. She’s bold and different than any Cupidian female. When he shows her his planet’s delights, Nike and Edonys realize they must discover another way to save their loved ones because it will be easier for an Earthling and a Cupidian to ignore the pull of gravity than the pull of love.
