Welcome
to the Canoples Investigations Exposes Space Dodger release tour.
This is the third novel and fourth story in this series. Strap on
your restraints and be ready for an exciting ride… oh, once you
have the book in hand, you will discover there’s a special added
attraction—the first chapter of Secret
Society: A Canoples Investigations Novella!
Blurb
There’s
a carnival on the station, with all kinds of “legally” cloned
animals, more than a few zero-G acrobats, and miniature clowns. BD’s
ever present suspicious mind latches onto one thing when the advance
team for Galactic Carnival arrives to begin preparations for a
weeklong visit. The ringmaster looks familiar, but the man swears
that he has never been to Canoples Station before. Even worse,
children five and under are disappearing. A bit of investigating on
BD’s part clues him in to the fact this has happened on every
station Galactic Carnival has visited so far. He’s determined to
uncover the true identity of the ringmaster and solve the mystery of
the missing children, but at what cost. Is BD willing to lose his
lifelong friends to solve this case? Will they prove Jenna Rock,
Wade’s girlfriend, isn’t involved?
About
K.C. Sprayberry
Born and raised in
Southern California’s Los Angeles basin, K.C. Sprayberry spent
years traveling the United States and Europe while in the Air Force
before settling in northwest
Georgia. A new empty nester with her husband of more than twenty
years, she spends her days figuring out new ways to torment her
characters and coming up with innovative tales from the South and
beyond.
She’s
a multi-genre author who comes up with ideas from the strangest
sources. Those who know her best will tell you that nothing is safe
or sacred when she is observing real life. In fact, she considers any
situation she witnesses as fair game when plotting a new story.
Excerpt
The
normal sounds of the promenade seem wrong. I have a sensation of
impending doom, much like the moments before the space pirates showed
up. The desire to leap into action is very strong, so much so that
I’m literally leaning forward with my fists clenched at my side.
“Easy,”
Carl murmurs. “You don’t know for sure it’s him.”
Of
course, I know this man we’re watching is our quarry. How can I not
know that? Not that his appearance is anywhere close to his daughter,
who right now is aboard Fomalhaut for a very long stay. Erin Markus
did lead Spacers Rule, a galaxy wide ring of splifters, but she
wasn’t in charge.
Oh,
no, she was far from in charge of those thieves. The person with that
responsibility has just entered Canoples Station and is talking with
none other than our less than ethical governor, but I have no
definitive way of proving that.
“Back
off, BD,” Terry says in a low voice. “You can’t be sure, not
with that man wearing what he is.”
Interview
with the Author
Please
tell us about your latest book.
Canoples
Investigations Exposes Space Dodger
is the fourth installment in the Canoples
Investigations
series. It’s a fast paced action/adventure science fiction book
specifically for teens. In this book, BD Bradford and the team are
split up, attempting to get the goods on a sketchy space circus
owner. In usual Canoples Investigations style, they tend to dive in
first and think later.
What can we expect from you in the future?
There
are currently eleven books planned for this series, but that may
change. I’ve begun developing short stories and novellas for the
shorter adventures these characters dream up. Of course, all of this
is done around the myriad of other books in my to-be-completed
folder, but this series seems to take precedence over anything else.
How do we find out about you and your books?
You
can find me on my Facebook fan page, website, blog, and Twitter. That
is, when I’m not deeply immersed in my latest novel. Those days,
very few people can locate me, including my family, but they’re
used to that.
Interview
with BD Bradford
What do you
consider your greatest achievement?
My greatest
achievement? You mean like when I hung off a girder thirty-five
hundred feet above the deck? Or maybe when I was chasing down space
pirates? There was the time when I had to deal with a gang of
splifters, Spacers Rule. I guess I can say that I have a lot of
achievements and all of them are pretty much the same. The latest
one, with the circus, forced me into a place I hate going, and I
finally figured out that I can do a few things I’m always shoving
onto the others. So, maybe learning how to research can be considered
my greatest achievement, since I really hate sitting still. But don’t
tell the rest of my crew that.
What is your idea
of perfect happiness?
Well, if you’ve
had a chance to check out my adventures, you probably already know
this. My idea of perfect happiness is an unending supply of Gut
Buster Deluxe Pizzas. Snorts.
I can see from your expression that you have no clue what a Gut
Buster Deluxe is. Let me explain.
See, you have a
monumental pizza, big enough to feed a whole SpaceBall team. The
crust is a bit thick but it has to be. Add a layer of sauce, not too
much or everything will be soggy. Then drop on every meat, vegetable,
and cheese known to the galaxy on top of that. Bake that baby until
it’s done. You now have what is known as a Gut Buster. The deluxe
part is really yum-yum. Grins
wickedly.
You ladle on some terrifically magnificent chili and sprinkle on a
pound or more of grated cheese. Serve that sucker steaming hot to me
and my buds, and step back. We are diving into that airlock and
gobbling down a delight that will keeps our stomachs filled for an
hour or two.
What is your
current state of mind?
I’m good. Really
good. Kind of between cases right now, but we’re heading out on our
next one in a few days. Just have to stock up the flitter and make
sure there’s nothing pressing on the station to deal with before we
leave. Oh, yeah, and we’ll need to do some research on Believers
and Founders first.
