The simple answer is that I always wanted to write a dystopian, post apocalyptic novel and now I have!

The first one I ever read was the classic Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank and it immediately became one of my favorite genres. I’m not really all about the gore and violence – I’m always fascinated by the people and when did they start to suspect something was wrong, how did they react in the moment when the apocalypse of whatever type it might be struck and then how do events unfold thereafter. I l...

I thought it would be fun today to talk about my first scifi rock star romance, STAR CRUISE SONGBIRD while STAR CRUISE STAR SONG, my second such story, is still a fairly new release

I’d always wanted to write a rock star romance because I LOVE the genre (and now I have two to my name – whee!) but if I sit down to write anything, it inevitably becomes science fiction. So when the second Pets In Space anthology was being put together (way back in 2...

The snippet from near the beginning of the novel. Pebatma, whose noble family has fallen on hard times, has grown sad and distressed and a kindly priestess has invited her to sit and rest:

Feeling as if she’d lost control of the situation, Pebatma allowed herself to be drawn through a narrow door she’d never noticed before and walked into a cool, green garden. A fountain played lazily in the center and the overflow ran in a burbling stream until it disappeared from sight. The smell of the blue l...

On occasion authors try to be creative with their book titles to catch the eye of potential readers and signal the tone of the story . (I tend to be pretty basic with my titles I will admit.) This month I wanted to bring you some of the fun and unusual ones I’ve seen in recent months.

Howl You Doin? (Monster Bae Series Book 2) by Jacklyn Hyde features an introverted human chef and a werewolf (or Lycan) hiding among the humans. He inheri...

ALIEN IN THE DEPTHS (THRYAL MATES BOOK TWO) by Celia Kyle

She went looking for adventure…and found the biggest one yet—love. While exploring ancient catacombs on the alien planet Thryal, Sofia crosses paths with Zaraq, an alien fugitive hiding in the depths. Whi...

The excerpt – Kyden in the arena:

When it was time for him to return to the sands, he found the klixta worms waiting for him in a writhing mass. They were quite ferocious in appearance, with tentacles and barbs but were actually a mindless mass of parasites from a forest world. A clever gladiator could make the creature appear to be a formidable opponent by dancing in and out of reach, slicing off appendages as the klixta roared and advanced, but in reality the alien life form ate only lichen an...

FROM THE ARCHIVE…updated a tiny bit.

VS: Full disclosure here, the author is a close relative of mine, has published under other pen names as well, and I was one of the beta readers for this book.  It’s got dinosaurs, a sweet romance and lots of action and adventure – what’s not to like?! Scifi with strong romantic elements.

I was excited to have her here today to tell us more about the book and share an excerpt.

The blurb: “Jurassic Park meets Romancing the Stone” – Dr. Grace Carson is one of t...
