So why, you may ask, did I come to write novels set in ancient Egypt? Especially when the majority of my novels are scifi romance, not paranormal romances set thousands of years ago.

In the summer of 2011 I’d been working on my craft as a writer and I wanted to submit something to a publisher but hadn’t decided what to write. Carina Press, an imprint of Harlequin, put out a general call for Ancient World romances. I’d always loved ancient Egypt,...

I’m now taking snippets from my third scifi romance gladiator novel TALINN, which recently released in the CLAIMED AMONG THE STARS  charity anthology. This will be the last snippet from TALINN because I’m going to switch to my NEW release REEDE’S MISSION TO THE SECTORS.

The Badari Warriors series is about a race of genetically engineered supersoldiers of the far future, whose DNA is humanoid mixed with alien predator DNA by a group of unscrupulous alien scientists. The Badari escaped the labs with the help of a human woman in book one AYDARR. There are fated mates, forced proximity and all kinds of other tropes and adventures in each book. The Badari took refuge in Sanctuary Valley, which is protected by a powerful ancient alien Artificial Intelligence and they...

An interesting trend in scifi romance is the rise of the Naga. I’d never heard of this concept before I began seeing them appear on SFR covers and in the plots. Doing my research (which is thing authors love to do and which can distract us for hours at a time if we’re not careful) the word ‘naga’ is Sanskrit for serpent. The basic concept is found in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and views nagas as half human, half cobra, strong and ha...

From the Archive: In honor of the fact I’m just about to release the direct sequel to this book (FINALLY!), I thought it was a good time to revisit what I was thinking in 2019 when I wrote REEDE. Portions of this post first appeared on Pauline Baird Jones’s blog.

(REEDE is actually the 10th Badari Warriors book because TIMTUR is book 2.5. REEDE’S MSSION TO THE SECTORS will be book 15.)

When I thought about it in preparation for writing this post, I realized there were several threads coming toge...
