Congratulations to Beck Nicholas on her latest release- Temper!
Inspiration from life outside of writing
by Beck Nicholas
by Beck Nicholas
Thanks for having me here today. I’m so
excited about Temper’s release. It’s no secret that writing a book and seeing
it published is a long process but the real beginnings of Temper go back before
even Lifer began.
Right back to sitting in a laboratory
and waiting (and waiting) for vacuum pumps to do their thing.
I’ve always loved stories and I’ve
always loved science. My favourite subjects at school were science and English.
I studied laser chemistry at university for many years (see picture).
(Me getting my PhD)
In my field of physical chemistry, there
was a lot of waiting. I used lasers to investigate chemical reactions. Vacuums
and lasers take time to get going. Experiments using them can take hours and
hours to run. During those times I would imagine stories, inspired by the
experiments and scientists around me.
The characters in my head were influenced
by my research. When it came time to write I drew on these experiences and
writing sci-fi seemed to make sense. In this way I’m able to follow two things
I love. It’s fun to use my knowledge and my imagination together to create
something.
Happy reading.

FREEDOM COMES WITH A PRICE.
Free from the spaceship and reunited with Samuai, Asher
should be happy. But thoughts of her dead family weigh heavily on her mind.
Things worsen when temper problems in camp lead to a murder.
When Asher volunteers to get the drug need to calm people down, tension
ignites.
Loyalties are questioned.
Jealousy rears its head. Sparks fly.
And when rumor of a second ship hits close to home, all bets
are off.
Have the aliens returned? Is this the end of everything
Asher has ever known?

The Bourne Identity
meets Under the Never Sky in this intergalactic tale of love and deception from
debut novelist Beck Nicholas.
Asher is a Lifer, a slave aboard the spaceship Pelican. A
member of the lowest rung of society, she must serve the ship’s Officials and
Astronauts as punishment for her grandparents' crimes back on Earth. The one
thing that made life bearable was her illicit relationship with Samuai, a
Fishie boy, but he died alongside her brother in a freak training accident.
Still grieving for the loss of her loved ones, Asher is
summoned to the upper levels to wait on Lady, the head Official’s wife and
Samuai’s mother. It is the perfect opportunity to gather intel for the Lifer’s
brewing rebellion. There’s just one problem—the last girl who went to the upper
levels never came back.
On the other side of the universe, an alien attack has left
Earth in shambles and a group called The Company has taken control. Blank wakes
up in a pond completely naked and with no memory, not even his real name. So
when a hot girl named Megs invites him to a black-market gaming warehouse where
winning means information, he doesn’t think twice about playing.
But sometimes the past is better left buried. As Asher and
Blank’s worlds collide, the truth comes out—everyone has been lied to...
About the Author
I always wanted to write. I’ve worked as a lab assistant, a pizza
delivery driver and a high school teacher but I always pursued my first dream
of creating stories. Now, I live with my family near Adelaide, halfway between
the city and the sea, and am lucky to spend my days (and nights) writing young
adult fiction.Tour-Wide Giveaway

Water leakage due to malfunctioning taps
ReplyDeleteThe use of poor types of water distribution pipes inside homes, which causes over time to damage these pipes and thus the problem of water leakage occurs
Lack of detection and periodic monitoring of the water distribution network inside homes
Excessive water for personal use, such as showering and shaving, is one of the causes of water leakage from the bathroom
The extravagance of housewives also in using water when washing clothes, cleaning the kitchen, and even when cooking
Many wealthy people overuse water in the irrigation of their own gardens and swimming pools as well

Concrete barrier blocks or jersey barriers are a simple and effective way to secure your empty premises against unwelcome visits from trespassers, vandals, fly tippers and travellers. Concrete security barriers may be placed across the access to a property, or around the perimeter to block vehicular access. We provide concrete sleepers in either 1.5m, 2.5m or 3m lengths, which can be bolted together with our state of the art interlocking system to create a virtually impenetrable concrete barrier.
ReplyDeleteTemporary concrete road barriers are a useful tool in traffic management, to safely control traffic flows. Concrete safety barriers are a common sight in car parks, used to define entry and exit lanes and to protect traffic from straying into oncoming lanes. Concrete road barriers may be used to secure building sites and road works, protecting both the passing public and workforce within.
