Don't forget to visit the IWSG blog today for a new post. If you haven't joined you should. And don't forget Wednesday is the monthly IWSG blog hop.
I'm also looking forward to getting Recon Marines III to my publisher this week. I'm feeling a little sad at ending the series but I usually feel like three or four books are enough. On the good news front, Recon Marines II, The Marine's Heiress, if finally available on Amazon Kindle and other ebook retailers.
One of the new shows I've enjoyed this season on TV is Almost Human. I watched it at first just because I like Karl Urban, but the science fiction aspects of the show kept me coming back each Monday. Two weeks ago, they introduced Chromes. Chromes are 'perfect' people as a result of genetic engineering. They have excellent health, intelligence and, of course, they're beautiful. How could I not love a show with that plot point when it so closely resembles some of the epigenetics ideas I use in my Recon Marine series?
Tomorrow, Brandon Sanderson's book, Words of Radiance, the second in The Stormlight Archive fantasy series. The first book was over a thousand pages long. Thanks to Amazon, I received my copy of the second book on Saturday and it's 1081 pages long. I can't wait to dive in. Sanderson is an incredibly prolific writer and everything I've read by him is good and has many unique ideas. His world creation is amazing. Sorry if I'm gushing a little but he is on the top of fantasy writers in my opinion.
Are you familiar with Sanderson? Have you Almost Human? I've heard vicious rumors that it might be canceled. Did you visit IWSG yet? Do you have those posts for A to Z done yet?

It's sad to finish a series. I might return to mine someday.
I knew you would have your posts ready, Alex.
Pat, I know you work way ahead. You amaze me.
I love Michael's eyes too. Glad we all like that show. FOX better keep it.
I haven't seen that series, but I'll check it out. Thanks.
I haven't seen that series, but I'll check it out. Thanks.
way to go with your progress!
i am curious about almost human, but was afraid because my current wip SIMULATION is a clone android and deals with DNA tampering and just a lot of similarities... i know it's not the same story line, but scarily similar. guess that's the way sci fi is going...
I've watched Almost Human since the beginning. It's a JJ Abrams show, how could I pass???? I love all of the fresh exciting stuff going on in that show!
Congratulations on your book! I too have enjoyed watching Almost Human. I like the humor. :)
I haven't seen that show, but my husband loves it. Hope it's not canceled.
Got my posts done. Just have some last checking to follow up. I'm always nervous about making mistakes when I post so many of those in a row.
Good luck. And I'll be seeing you in April for sure.
My hormones LOVE Karl Urban, but I haven't seen the show.
I'm really thinking I might do the A-Z blog hop. I'm really tempted. It comes at a bad time of year for me though. hmmmm.
I don't watch a lot of television. I've heard of the show and was intrigued, but I just never seem to remember when it's on.
My only go to show this year is Blacklist.
I really like Almost Human too - it's really intriguing!
Sanderson is incredible! I'm just heading over to IWSG. :)
Congrats on the book. I missed Almost Human, but I am looking forward to catching up.
I loved book 2 in the Recon series. Glad to see love and an hea for Vin. I need to do a better job of scheduling my blogs in advance. it really makes things easier.
Wow, so many Almost Human and Sanderson fans.
Thank you, Michelle. Vin did deserve that story.
