The Survival Guide For The 33rd Century
Yup.
That’s what I should have called my novel, TOUCH OF FIRE.
Ah, well. Maybe I’ll give that title to the next book in the series. 
TOUCH OF FIRE comes out in print Tuesday, April 28.
In it you’ll learn how to:
• eat from a campfire (EVERY day)
• bathe in cold water ponds
• eat hallucinogenic mushrooms
(then have sex you won’t remember later)
• fight your enemies with swords and spears
• and, oh yes, deal with Elemental witches who can conjure air, water, earth or fire.
Did I mention the Elementals aren’t too fond of us plainfolk?
Aside from a ripping good story, TOUCH OF FIRE is a must-have guide for living in a post-apocalyptic age.
Remember, the Mayan calendar comes to a dead-halt on December 12, 2012. Methinks they were on to something, so BUY your copy before the 2012 rush. I’m telling ya, you’ll NEED this book.
The Apocalypse is closer than you think

TOUCH OF FIRE hits bookstores on April 28.
He’s a scoundrel and a thief. She’s a woman on a mission. They’re the perfect team—if they don’t kill each other first.

Congrats on the print release, Maria!
