Sky 1 Foundation

written by

William Amerman

Sky 1 Foundation is right down my alley for books to enjoy and be able to zip right through to read. I am currently reading Sky 2 Detrius Machine and look forward to the third book Sky 3 Emerald Mara. I was very happy that William Amerman let me review all three of this books and hope to see more from him in the future. 

Sky 1 Foundation starts right from the get go with action already taking place which makes for a good start and a good catcher of readers who are looking for action right from the beginning. Sky 1 is based on a original thought of the future and how people might try to live out or govern people in a society that has lived through war. 

When a virus breaks out people rush to try and get to another level before they quarantine the level they are already on. I really don't want to go into much more you can read the what the publisher has to say below but if you like post apocalyptic books then you will enjoy this one.

You can purchase Sky1 Foundation on Amazon.


A little about the book from the publisher

Nick Burke has been allotted 389 square feet of living space by the government. Disease spreads quickly when people are packed together so tightly. Quarantines are regularly imposed in an effort to contain the spread of infection. Lately, though, rumors are spreading that quarantines on some Grounds are not being lifted.
 
When a quarantine is imposed on Nick's Ground, he and his family are trapped. The only way out is to break laws that carry a penalty of death. Fearing for his life and the safety of his family, Nick joins forces with a local group to move to another Ground. But can he trust his new friends? 
* * * 
Seven hundred years ago, a city walled itself off from the rest of the world. Decades after first containment, the city expanded upwards, becoming a world unto itself. The population of this city-world has now boomed to over eighty million people, but the history of why the world was built and what lies outside has been lost to the citizens. Eventually, the series will deal with how the world was built, what (and who) lives outside the containment walls and what environmental changes are about to bring a very nasty surprise. Even though it is set in the future, this first book is intended to be a straight-forward thriller, a page-turner that allows me to set up the rest of the series.

I thought of this series while recovering from a hangover in bed in Holland in 1997, looking up at the (late) morning sky through a skylight in the bedroom. The premise was simple; what would happen if Holland's population continued to boom but there was no land left to expand? The conclusion I reached was that they would have to expand upward, connecting their cities.

Epica Silicone Coated Ironing Board Cover

Truth be known I am not a big sewing person or ironing person, but there are times when you really need to iron an item to keep it looking like it is supposed to. With ironing comes mistakes when you sometimes keep your iron on and end up burning your cover.

Finding another cover isn't alway easy but I love this one because it has silicone which not only helps with ironing but also with keeping my iron form burning through the cover. To be honest no one has ironed anything in our home since our son moved out. He ironed his t-shirts.

You can purchase the Epica Silicone Coated Ironing Board Cover on Amazon.

What Epica has to say about their product.
Say goodbye to the hassles of scorching, sticking and stubborn wrinkles! With a silicone coated surface and extra-thick, integrated padding, the Epica Ironing Board Cover makes your ironing chores easier, faster and more failsafe than ever before.
Scorch and Stain Resistant Silicone
The tough silicone coating handles high heat and heavy use with ease. What's more, droplets from steam ironing or starch sprays can't soak in, as they inconveniently do with cloth covers. Nor does it attract and hold lint.
Garments Slip On Easily
Pulling and tugging on fabric while you iron can distort the shape of your clothes. But that's exactly what often happens when your ironing board has a cloth cover, because cloth against cloth creates friction. On the other hand, the Epica's smooth silicone surface lets your clothing glide effortlessly into place for optimum ironing.
Reflects Heat for Faster Ironing
Yet another great reason to choose the Epica Silicone Coated Ironing Board Cover: it reflects heat back up from the iron. It's almost like ironing both sides of your garment at once!
Integrated Padding Protects Clothes, Won't Bunch or Shift
Just like pressing pads used by professional tailors, the Epica's super-thick felt padding prevents any uneven textures underneath (such as seam allowances and holes in the metal ironing board) from making an impression on your garment. The pad is fully attached to the cover, so it can't bunch up or move separately; plus, it makes putting the cover on the board and taking it off twice as easy.
Secure Fit with Elasticized Edges and Velcro Straps
Why fight with drawstrings or loose flaps? The Epica Ironing Board Cover's fully elasticized edges do all the fitting work for you. Two Velcro straps that join underneath the board add another level of stay-put insurance.

What we like about this one over others we have had in the past is that it has two USB ports so that you can charge your tech devices as well.

This is something we are going to implement when we set up our new tech charging station.

1000 Thread count Cotton Pillowcases

A moment of truth, my husband doesn't sleep with pillow cases because he likes his pillows plain, so when we make the bed we hide his while mine are set up on the bed so it looks nice and tidy. He likes his flat and what I call stinky, he says they smell the way he likes them. 

To make our bed look nice I like to have different size pillows with contrasting colors to really make the bed pop. These 1000 Thread count Cotton Pillowcases are wonderful for making my look feel complete. 

We have a King Size bed in which we have 4 king size pillow, 2 regular or standard pillows and 2 throw pillows to complete the look. The light grey set that we received to try out look great and feel fantastic. 

I turn my pillow over during the night as well as change it out for another to make sure my head is on a cool surface. These Pillowcases feel cooler then our less thread count pillowcases. Not sure why but they sure sold me on a higher Thread count.

You can purchase the 1000 Thread count Cotton Pillowcases on Amazon.
