Bonvida’s book 3 is with an editor, and I’ll be getting it back soon! I can’t wait to reveal the title as well as share the third part of the adventure with all of you!
I finished my draft of Bonvida book 4 and will be entering back into it before that goes off.
I’ve been doing some world-building for two other projects that have been rattling in my brain.
Breaking news: Bonvida’s Awakening is now available at Indigo. See the link below.
Happy New Year 2024!! I am very excited for this year, and one of my goals is to post articles and updates here more regularly. Is there something Bonvida-related or something completely different you want to see from me? If so, then send me a message or comment.
Stay cool!
As 2023 soon comes to a close I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope to do more with the website in 2024!
November 23rd marks a year since Bonvida’s Awakening was released. It feels like it was longer, but here we are with two books released and a third on its way within the next year. It has been so much to share these adventures with everyone! And I can’t wait for you to see what is in store in the future for Bonvida and other projects. Below is fan-picked favorite book 1 scenes.
Here we go! The second book will be released this Friday, September 15th, on Amazon. If you are a Kindle reader, the book is available for pre-order. See the link below https://www.amazon.ca/Bonvidas-Quest-Christopher-D-Smith-ebook/dp/B0CHPLSBKZ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3IWOOVC31M06C&keywords=bonvida%27s&qid=1694553142&sprefix=bonvida%27%2Caps%2C397&sr=8-4
I wanted to do something different and write about one of my all-time favourite shows. – LOST! Many people find that the show didn’t end well or the directors didn’t give answers were given; some people even say that they were lost while watching Lost (especially when it came to the later seasons of time travel.) All that aside, LOST is not just a show about smoke monsters, Dharma Stations and plane crashes. It is a show about people, about a group of strangers forced to live together and survive. A group of people from all walks of life, and cultures, a group of people who have to work past their differences and personal issues to help one another. One of the most prominent lines that shows this is in the finale when Christen Shephard tells his son Jack, “The most important part of your life was the time you spent with those people.” He goes on to tell Jack that those people needed him, and he needed those people too. “Noone does it alone.”
So if you are stuck wanting a show to binge, check out LOST and stick through all its craziness; you will grow to love each of the characters in their unique ways.

What a wonderful adventure, I got lost in the world of Bonvida just like when I was a kid. I can’t wait for the sequels!! This is a very promising young author.
Karina Fabian lives on the Space Coast of Florida, which means whenever a rocket launches from Kennedy Space Center, her house rumbles, and she can run outside to see the launches from her front yard. It makes a great setting for writing science fiction and fantasy. Although she freelances as a product reviewer for Fit Small Business, she still manages to publish two or three novels a year – mainly because her characters won’t let her slow down. She has been lauded for her ability to write both serious and seriously funny and for her enchanting characters and worlds.
People often ask Karina what book they should start with. It really depends on what they like, she replies. To that end, she has compiled a book that introduces you to each of her story universes – the Worlds of Fabianspace. The five stories each feature a favorite character from her primary worlds.
Karina offers this story free to anyone signing up for her newsletter.
Karina provides a semi-monthly newsletter that’s pretty low key. She talks about her life and writing and shares other books her readers might enjoy. This year, she’ll be going in-depth with her characters and stories, with interviews and behind-the-scenes fun, as well as highlighting other authors. Always, she lets you know about her latest books, so there’s not better way to know what’s coming next.
Star Trek tropes played with a redneck can-do attitude. If you love Star Trek and parodies…
If the Orville and Galaxy Quest give you as much joy as Wrath of Khan…
If you believe (as Tumblr users do) that humans will rule the galaxy because we are the only species crazy enough to tie two warp cores together, reverse the polarity and toss them into a star just to see what will happen….
….then this is the book for you.
There are 5 books in this series, with Book 6 coming out in May. They feature the crew of the HMB Impulsive on its mission to boldly get into trouble like no one has done before. Find the series here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084RS8VKL
Chief of Security, Lt. Enigo LaFuentes is conducting quarterly training. (Everyone had been partying the night before, and they declined to invite him.)
“What do we do in a hostage situation?” Enigo shouted at his security team.
“Stun them both, sir!”
“Stun them both. A headache now saves lives later. Headaches save lives!”
“Headaches save lives, sir!” the team repeated, desperately hoping this was true and the pounding in their own heads would indeed have meaning.
“We are the security forces of the Impulsive. We do not let intruders control the situation. And if the captain says to lower your weapons?”
“Stun them, anyway!”
“Why?”
“Headaches save lives!”
Deryl Stephen’s uncontrollable telepathic abilities have landed him in a mental health institution, where no one believes in his powers. But when Joshua Lawson, a student of neuro linguistic programming, takes part in a summer internship, he takes the unique step of accepting Deryl’s reality and teaches him to work with it. As Deryl learns control, he finds his next challenge is to face the aliens who have been contacting him psychically for years—aliens who would use him to further their cause in an interplanetary war.
This is a trilogy with a bonus story, published by DragonMoon Press. Find the first book here: https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Over-Karina-L-Fabian-ebook/dp/B005D94LI0/
