Free Comic Book Day is Coming!




This Saturday is Free Comic Book Day! That means that all around the world there are comic book stores giving away free comic books and having fun events for geeks like us! It's been a family tradition of ours to go, the past few years. Our local shops around here in Provo, UT are great. They bring in local artists to show off their art for us, and they even give away free sketches!

For click here more information, or to see which comic book stores near you are participating, click here.

Here are some pictures from our last Free Comic Book Day. 


Congrats to Doorsie Morrison, winner of a Customized Doctor Who Pendant from Aioralium!

I've known Aio, of Aioralium, since elementary school! She's a huge Final Fantasy and anime fan and lives the hectic life of a mother. "This is what calms me...The mom part, it's never ending...I guess making jewelry centers me when stressed. I was looking for a hobby and I saw a pair of earrings on someone and was like, 'I can make that!' It snowballed from there." 

An insanely create person, she's been known to use almost anything in her jewelry and make it look amazing!  I once saw her use carburetor parts in a choker. It sounds crazy, but she transformed it into a work of art...a piece that something you could wear anywhere! (Pictured below) I tried to steal it from her, but she saw me coming. ;) "I won't sell it, it's one of the very first pieces I made."



She says she'll use "anything that strikes my fancy but I lean toward metals and natural stone the most. I love to scavenge old jewelry and pick it apart." She is notorious for hording jewelry parts. "I just know I'll want it for something, even if I don't know what at the time."

A superhero love story? Sign me up!


Hey, howdy, hey! Nicole Zoltack here and I'm so happy to share with you the cover for WHITE HELLEBORE. The second book in the Heroes of Falledge trilogy kicks off with an amazing cover.
 
All right, all right, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I know you're dying to see it!

 

 


Told you it was awesome! I'm not biased at all. Nope. Not even a little bit.

After destroying Skull Krusher, Nicholas Adams thinks Falledge is safe and becomes a security guard at the museum, watching a valuable statue. Unfortunately, the Egyptian statue houses the soul of a scorned witch, biding her time to have her revenge on the descendants of her cheating lover.
 
Kiya the witch isn't the only new foe in town as the drug that created Skull Krusher has now transformed a scientist into yet another monster, forcing Nicholas to don his Black Hellebore mask again and save Falledge.

Nicholas has no help this time as Kiya gains possession of his love Julianna's body and brings the soul of Justina, Nicholas's high school sweetheart and Julianna's twin, with her. Despite himself, Nicholas is torn between the sisters. If he can't stop the fiends from taking over the world and destroying humankind, he'd never be able to find lasting, true love.

So I'm sure you're dying to know the release date and luckily it's not that far away! WHITE HELLEBORE releases April 21st! Be sure to grab it on the 21st! :D

An Afternoon Out


We took Daisy and Mozzie out for the afternoon. They had so much fun and Mozzie even got to munch on some spring dandelion greens!

Kids' Science Palooza

Our city is so fun, they always have something new going on! 
Provo had a Kids' Science Palooza, a great opportunity to show how fun science is! 
I miss Bill Nye, but this was great!




 First, we had to put on our Air Bender tattoos...er kerchiefs?
These "Air Bending Vortex Cannons" were boxes with a hole cut out of the front. When you beat on them, a stream of air shoots out and hits the target. Poor Zuko, he was so abused!







Fun with dry ice, water, and soap bubbles! In the bottom picture, you can see the escaping gas from the burst bubble that my youngest tried to catch on his shirt.





They taught/helped the kids extract DNA from strawberries! So easy and fun, no microscope required!




BYU's Monte L. Bean Museum of Life Science was there to let the kids pet creepy reptiles... They LOVED it!









I love these things!
