			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Breakaway: 1977</strong>, our debut release by R. M. Kozan, has been endorsed by the very wonderful <a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Anderson" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Anderson" target="_blank">Sylvia Anderson</a>, the co-creator of many iconic SF TV series such as Space: 1999, UFO, Thunderbirds, and Fireball XL5.</p>
<p>On September 9th, 2014, Sylvia sent <span style="color: #0000ff;">Fresh Blue Ink</span> the following statement:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;<strong>Breakaway: 1977</strong> is a fiercely compelling read by R. M. Kozan &#8211; a truly creative writer who brings to life real characters across a blazing backdrop of imagination.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Needless to say the author is chuffed that the original creator of Space: 1999 would see his work, with its deep tie-ins to the Space:1999 universe, in such a positive light.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Fresh Blue Ink</span> is extremely proud to make this announcement on the first anniversary of our release of <strong>Breakaway: 1977</strong> and on the 15th anniversary of that fateful moment in Space: 1999 when the Moon breaks out of Earth orbit: September 13th, 1999.</p>
<p>To read more about <strong>Breakaway: 1977</strong>, click <a title="http://www.freshblueink.ca/b1977.html" href="http://www.freshblueink.ca/b1977.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Sylvia and daughter Dee are currently working on a new series <a title="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-last-station-by-tv-legend-sylvia-anderson" href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-last-station-by-tv-legend-sylvia-anderson" target="_blank">&#8220;The Last Station&#8221;</a>. We wish them every success and eagerly anticipate its debut.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I spent some time seeking pre-publication reviews for <strong>Breakaway: 1977</strong>. During this slow process I penned a few satiric reviews of my own work. Who better to write a review of your book than yourself? <img src='http://freshblueink.ca/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Some of the reviews below are &#8220;in jokes&#8221; you will likely not get unless you read the book, but all are whimsical.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">FAKE Reviews of <strong>Breakaway: 1977</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I give it four stars. OK, I work for the company, but still there is some quality there. It helps if you know a bit about SF and rock music from the 1970s. The story is about that uncomfortable point in <span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;" lang="EN-CA">teenage </span>life but it also says a lot about popular culture and fandom. Ultimately, it is almost speculative fiction, with a late zigzag into murder mystery.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">RATING: ****</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mick Mayos<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;" lang="EN-CA">, Associate </span>Editor, Fresh Blue Ink</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Cool book. I think he didn&#8217;t do it. No way. Now I understand the cover. Thx!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">RATING: ****</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;" lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Epistles, epiphanies, episodes, exclusions, exclamatives, exams, <span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;" lang="EN-CA">exculpations, </span>emergents, and endings. School boy finds SF TV show, school boy loses SF TV show, school boy ignores besotted girl, people die and s<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;" lang="EN-CA">h</span>*t happens.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Samantha Renfield, M. Sc.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;" lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They made me read it and now I&#8217;m being judged on my grammar and consumer poise. Society sucks!!</p>
