Taking The World By Storm

A fellow blogger and writer, Alex Cavanaugh aka Ninjalex is taking the world by storm this week with the release of his third and final book in the CassaStorm Series, which is released this week between 15 and 21 September.  

Not only is he a talented writer, he is a phenomenal blogger and supporter of up-and-coming authors.  He founded the Insecure Writer's Support Group and loves all things Sci-Fi.  He's a Prize Plonker and has a brilliant sense of humour.

CassaStorm’s will blow your mind.

From the Amazon Best Selling Series!


 

Commanding the Cassan base on Tgren, Byron thought he’d put the days of battle behind him. As a galaxy-wide war encroaches upon the desert planet, Byron’s ideal life is threatened and he’s caught between the Tgrens and the Cassans.



After enemy ships attack the desert planet, Byron discovers another battle within his own family. The declaration of war between all ten races triggers nightmares in his son, threatening to destroy the boy’s mind.



Meanwhile the ancient alien ship is transmitting a code that might signal the end of all life in the galaxy. And the mysterious probe that almost destroyed Tgren twenty years ago could return. As his world begins to crumble, Byron suspects a connection. The storm is about to break, and Byron is caught in the middle…





“With a talent for worldbuilding and a compelling cast of characters, Alex J. Cavanaugh combines high powered space battles and the challenges of family dynamics to provide readers a space opera with heart.”
- Elizabeth S. Craig, author of the Southern Quilting and Myrtle Clover mysteries

“I thought the revelation was going to be one thing and I was completely wrong … CassaStorm pushes the limits…”
- Tyson Mauermann, Speculative Reviews

“…mesmerizing story of survival, personal sacrifice, tolerance, and compassion. It’s a rare jewel that successfully utilizes both character and plot to tell a story of such immense scope and intimate passion…” - Nancy S. Thompson, author of The Mistaken

TheSnugg

So I was asked to review TheSnugg, which they claim is a "robust, case, cover and stand for my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1".

Here's what I think:


The first thing I noticed when I opened TheSnugg, was the smell.  That brand new PU Leather smell. It’s an awesome nostril filler. The same one you get when you slide into a brand new car with leather seats.  Yeah.... it's right up there with petrol and vanilla, Plonkers!  

I love the funky stitching and logo, which is incredibly modern and stylish.  Shaawiiiiing!

I was soopa excited that TheSnugg comes in my favourite colour, which is ORANGE. There are hardly any orange tablet or phone accessories out there that come in orange.  Check out there other funky colours!   

Delivery was swift and prompt and was generously packaged.  Some companies often skimp on packaging and then the product often gets damaged in transit.

The Snugg has 2 upright positions.  
One is a stand-up presentation mode and the other one is a lower view, which is perfect for using in the kitchen for reading your recipes.

The Snugg is soopa slim and is compact enough to fit in your notebook bag or, in my case, my handbag  [Only because my fucking handbag is the size of a small country!]


What I was really impressed with was the wide, stable hand strap that allows you to hold the device and frees up your other hand to quickly and accurately navigate the tablet. Perfect for playing games or being the Instagram Whore that I am, scroll through and love all those gorgeous photos.

The Snugg cover allows you to plug in and charge your table without having to remove it from the cover.  And another cool features is when you close the cover, it switches of the tablet.

One thing I did notice, was that the cover needs to be closed in order to remove the stylus.  So you have to stop what you're doing, close the cover, remove stylus, open up again before returning to what you were doing.

TheSnugg is really just that. Snugg.  Your tablet does not slide around inside the cover, like some other covers.  So you can be certain that your precious tablet its save, snug and secure.  The really strong magnet keep it tightly shut when you’re not using it too.  Durable and sturdy enough for even the kids to abuse and lob around! 

Don't forget to visit tomorrow for Friday's Shoegasm!
