I'm Famous! Sort of...

OK, famous might be a bit of a stretch. But it's been a good week for me, and I figured I'd share some of the goings on.

First up is an interview with Author's Crossing, where you get some tidbits about me, and some tidbits about my SERENGETI:

I just finished J.B. Rockwell’s Serengeti, and a day later I am still in awe and blown away.  We planned an interview and this is the time to do it! You’ll learn a little about Serengeti and then learn more about her as an author.  Sit back and enjoy and DEFINITELY go BUY Serengeti!

Next, I've got a couple of book blogger reviews. I'm honestly amazed by the overwhelmingly positive response to SERENGETI and I'm sincerely grateful to these bloggers for taking the time to read my little book and help get the word out to the universe.

This one from Birds of a Feather, Flock Together really blew me away...

Since you all hang on each and every word I say, you surely remember when I said that I wanted something better than the standard six or seven, something outstanding.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Serengeti.

Because it is outstanding. The main character is not a human, or alien, but the ship itself. If that doesn't send you scrambling to buy it, I don't know what to tell you. I suppose I would say that the execution is essentially flawless, because while the main character is a spaceship is the surest way to get my money, it is not a terribly easy thing to pull off.

And then there's this one from SF Book Portal. Jim Chapman's a a great guy and military veteran and he likes his military sci-fi. When I first read his review I wasn't sure if he liked SERENGETI or not. But he gave me five stars and we had a back and further off-line where he just raved about it. I suspect he's a bit mad at me for bringing an old soldier close to tears.

A real emotional book. Too much humanity created in a spaceship or warship for it's own good. If you haven't guessed, Serengeti is a spaceship/warship. She his part of a large armada trying to find the bad guys. At first she's on her own and we get to know some of her crew of over three hundred man and women. 
Now understand, Serengeti isn't like the old Star Trek computer.  Serengeti, the AI is in control of this ship. Other AIs are in control of ships in the armada and the armada command ship is called Brutus, a big hulking warship and AI.

Of course, you can find a whole bunch of other reviews over at Amazon, and I'll be posting news here as it hits the (virtual) streets.
