Well, it's Saturday, folks. You all know what tomorrow is.

Kudos to you all. You have survived the first month of 2016, and hopefully at least most of it was okay. It's been a weird month for me. Simply put, very bittersweet. It's been mostly good for me because I've started working at an internship and a part-time job, and I love both jobs. I am doing exactly what I wanted to do once I came home from college for good: networking and gaining experience professionally. On top of that, I have been tutoring, and I love having that opportunity as well. And, on top of everything, I am back at church (different church now) and I love the community that I'm surrounded by. With all of this going for me, I believe that this has been a mostly good month for me.

There were some bad things that have happened as well. But, in order to keep the moods high, I won't really go into detail about everything. On a somewhat side note, I'm going to dedicate Rockybado 4, The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs 4, and The Magic Video Game 4 to Penny, our cat that we had for only three years and lost unexpectedly a couple weeks ago. Again, not going into further details. I'm also going to dedicate the same books to Sofia Dumplin, our newest feline addition. She has basically come into our lives just after we lost Penny. She's a sweetie, and she's very personable. Sofia Dumplin still needs a little bit of time to get adjusted to her new surroundings, but she'll be pretty darn sociable in no time. Simply put, she's a doll.

Anyway, back to my writing. This evening, I am going to give you a few facts about Alyssa Grzedek (The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs), the only girl and the baby of the Grzedek family, so here we go!

1. Alyssa had her tonsils taken out when she was only three years old, for the same reason Andrew, the oldest, had his out.
2. Alyssa has always wanted to play tennis in high school.
3. She and Andrew are the least musical kids of the five.
4. She was a princess for Halloween from the age of three to the age of eight.
5. She wore the exact same princess costume from age three to five, and it was pink. From age six to eight, she wore a green and pink princess costume.
6. Alyssa has always wanted to go into elementary education.
7. Her favorite ice cream flavor is cherry vanilla.
8. A close second is cake batter.
9. And a close third is "birthday party."
10. Alyssa plays the piano very well. Otherwise, she is not musically inclined.

Here is Alyssa for youse all. Also, just to let you know, Rockybado 1 and 2, The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs 1 and 2, The Magic Video Game 1 and 2, and The Crazy Chicken Escapade are going to be FREE on Amazon for Kindle on Friday February 5th and Saturday February 6th! More details are to come tomorrow.

See you Monday!

You Know Who

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday.

For the past three weeks, I have been promoting all of my novels that I have already written. My promotions, in my opinion, have been quite successful. Now, you might all be wondering what has been going on since then. I am still writing, and I might actually publish my next three novels earlier. I'm sure you know how it is when you are almost done with one novel and you're excited to move on with the next novel. So, what I'm going to do is answer five questions that you probably have for me.

Q: What are you doing now?
A: Finishing up on The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs 4. I am six chapters away from being done with the whole book.

Q: What are you going to do after you're done with that book?
A: Work on the second book in The Amazing Sci-Fi Compilation series.

Q: What is it going to be called?
A: Most likely The Somewhat Perilous Plan of the Patriotic Mosquitoes.

Q: Why is it called that?
A: I took it from when my friends are I were playing a card game and I thought that "Patriotic" and "Mosquitoes" were the best match for that round. I stuck with it, needless to say.

Q: When do you plan to publish your books now?
A: My initial date was April 30th, but now I'm thinking the earlier, the better. Hopefully by the end of March. If I can get everything done earlier, then that would be awesome.

Q: What's for lunch?
A: Taco. taco. TACO. tACO. TaCo. tAcO. TAco. taCO. TacO. tACo.

Okay. I'm done. See you some time this weekend.

It's Haiku Monday.
Holy crap. Is it really?

I keep dreaming of tennis.
But I cannot play.

I'm bad at tennis.
I guess it will take some time.
Mastering the sport.

I want four tacos,
For a dollar ninety-nine.
Tacos. Yummy yum.

Hi everyone!

SIKE. I decided that I should post something this weekend other than my promotions and my summaries. That would make for a very boring weekend, wouldn't it? If I just posted something about my promotions and whatnot. Maybe I should talk about someone from The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs series. That would be Adam Grzedek, one of the twin brothers and technically the third oldest.

Sorry for jumping straight to the point. But I don't have much else to write about this weekend. There was an unforeseen series of events that occurred just today, so I don't really have much to say about anything. Tomorrow should be better. I get to meet up with some friends, so that's always good.

So, I will now talk about Adam Grzedek (The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs).

1. Adam really likes meat and spinach pierogies.
2. He is the older twin.
3. Adam and Caleb look very much alike.
4. He tried out for the tennis team in high school, but he did not make it on the team.
5. Adam's dream vacation includes going to Ireland and Italy.
6. Adam is pretty musically talented, but he does not really get into music like Caleb does.
7. He is an avid gamer and really likes car racing games.
8. Adam's middle name is Timothy.
9. He and his twin brother go to the same college.
10. Adam wants to learn how to speak Italian, even though the Grzedek's don't have an ounce of Italian in them.

Here is Adam for you.

Speaking of which, just a reminder that The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs, The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs 2: The Sound of a B Flat, and The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs 3: The Prehistoric Fiesta will be FREE on Amazon for Kindle on Friday January 15th and Saturday January 16th. Also, The Crazy Chicken Escapade, which is part of the Amazing Sci-Fi Compilation, will be FREE on Saturday January 16th. Please check out my free novels by clicking on the links and reading the summaries below!

The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs: "It is June 2006 in St. John, a town in Northwest Indiana, and five siblings find out about the existence of dinosaurs through their neighbors who actually visited them. At a swimming party, the neighbors give the three younger siblings a book with a T-Rex's number on it. When all five kids visit Galavanti Island, they help Dacston, a T-Rex, Valpatic, a velociraptor, Jokie, a brachiosaurus, and Sammy, a stegosaurus, locate a case of saxophones that Selfish Arnie, Dacston's cousin, has taken from all of the citizens of Galavanti Island."

The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs 2: The Sound of a B Flat: "Summer of 2006 commences in St. John, a town in Northwest Indiana, and Caleb Grzedek's band is starting to get known. Andrew, his older brother, starts his first tennis season in high school. He also spends time with his girlfriend and best friends, and Caleb finally comes up with the band's name with his best friends. And, coming from a big family, the Grzedek's are often visiting their relatives, and the five kids are always learning new things. Therefore, summer is off to a good start."

The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs 3: The Prehistoric Fiesta: "Summer of 2014 is here in St. John, a small town in Northwest Indiana. Life is very busy for the Grzedek family, as the kids' oldest brother, Andrew, moves to Valparaiso, Indiana after graduation from college, and their sister, Alyssa, goes on vacation with their mom. Caleb, Adam, and Cameron decide to visit Galavanti Island, otherwise known as the Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs, and they visit Dacston, a T-Rex, Valpatic, a velociraptor, Jokie, a brachiosaurus, and Sammy, a stegosaurus. Once the three boys come to the island, they have to help put a stop to Dacston's selfish cousin's hopes to run the Annual Fiesta."

The Crazy Chicken Escapade: "It is the summer of 2006, and three boys meet at a birthday party and realize that they have more in common than what they have previously thought. David Ingram, from Crown Point, Indiana, Andrew Grzedek, from St. John, Indiana, and Levi Cranston, from Valparaiso, Indiana, then play a magic video game at Levi's house. They all eventually meet Marty and his creature friends in Wakahakai, Dacston and his dinosaur comrades on Galavanti Island, and Rockybado, the King of Texamilio. Everyone finds out that the nearby chicken community has been taken advantage of, and they all set foot to free Radcliffe, the elected leader of the chicken community, as well as bring the overall group back to normal."

I will continue promoting my free books this weekend, so be on the lookout for that.

Make it a great weekend.

Hello everyone, and Happy Saturday!

Yay! You all survived your first full week of 2016, whatever that might have entailed. For me, this was probably the weirdest week ever. Well, really, since I settled in the Island of Weird, which was a long time ago.

Just kidding on that one.

I am no longer in school, so I started my marketing internship, and it's safe to say that I'm going to enjoy it. I believe I will start my other job next week, and I have started my tutoring as well. Right now, I am mainly focused on making connections with fellow locals, as I've practically been away from my home town for five years. I want to basically re-establish myself and see what happens from then on.

Today, I am going to talk about Caleb Gzedek, the second oldest Grzedek from The Jazzy Island of Dinosaurs series. Here are ten fast facts about him.

1. Caleb is the most musical out of the five Grzedek kids.
2. He is three-quarters Polish, but he looks more like their mother, who is half Polish and half Irish (maybe a little bit of English thrown in there as well). For him, the Irish piece dominates.
3. Caleb started college as a music education major but then switched to elementary education when he realized that he wants to do music on the side.
4. He has been asked if he was Andrew, his older brother, because he apparently looks a little older than him.
5. Caleb has volunteered at a lot of organizations with his long-time friend and now-girlfriend, Alessandra Marbanks.
6. Caleb lives in St. John, but he went to high school in Lowell, which is twenty minutes south.
7. He has always wanted to visit Ireland and Germany.
8. Caleb loves vintage collectibles.
9. Playing video games is not Caleb's favorite hobby, but he doesn't mind playing them every once in a while.
10. Unlike Andrew, his older brother, Caleb does not drink. Andrew is now 24, and Caleb is 22.
11. He tried Cabernet Sauvignon for his 21st birthday, but he did not like it.

Here is Caleb for you.

Today, Rockybado: Robot King of the Island, Rockybado 2: A Run in the Game, Rockybado 3: The Invasion of the Naughty Blue Aliens, and The Crazy Chicken Escapade are still FREE on Amazon for Kindle, so don't miss out! Below are the summaries for each novel.

Rockybado: Robot King of the Island: "It is June 2006, and, after school lets out for the summer in Crown Point, Indiana, five boys find out about a robot in Texamilio, a supposedly fictitious island due west of the eight Hawaii Islands. When they meet Rockybado and his two close Bobino comrades, they are all confronted by Susan and Claude McSmith, who are both out to steal Rockybado's position as King of Texamilio, after a sour debate regarding physics in high school."

Rockybado 2: A Run in the Game: "It is the summer of 2006 in Crown Point, Indiana, and Brody Ingram and Andrew McCalsky make it on the Watsons baseball team, and the team must try hard to defeat the Pratts team, their opponent, from Hebron, Indiana, that plays rough. In the meantime, Brody's older brother, Brett, must come out of his shell in order to communicate effectively with his love interest, as does David. Dawson, the oldest, and Toby, the youngest, also try to figure out who they are and who they want to be. Everyone is faced with different challenges throughout the summer."

Rockybado 3: The Invasion of the Naughty Blue Aliens: "During the summer of 2014 in Crown Point, Indiana, David, Brody, and Toby Ingram go on another visit to Texamilio, where Rockybado, the Robot King of the Island, resides. The three boys take their friends, Adam Levistad, Andrew McCalsky, and John Garfield, on the adventure. When the six boys set foot in Texamilio, they realize that Rockybado's position is being challenged....once again. Not just by Claude and Susan McSmith, but also by some very interesting aliens."

The Crazy Chicken Escapade: "It is the summer of 2006, and three boys meet at a birthday party and realize that they have more in common than what they have previously thought. David Ingram, from Crown Point, Indiana, Andrew Grzedek, from St. John, Indiana, and Levi Cranston, from Valparaiso, Indiana, then play a magic video game at Levi's house. They all eventually meet Marty and his creature friends in Wakahakai, Dacston and his dinosaur comrades on Galavanti Island, and Rockybado, the King of Texamilio. Everyone finds out that the nearby chicken community has been taken advantage of, and they all set foot to free Radcliffe, the elected leader of the chicken community, as well as bring the overall group back to normal."

See you all on Monday!
