I’m now taking snippets from my newly released novel STAR CRUISE STAR SONG.

Guest Eli Donovan Talks Dinosaurs/Time Travel/Romance in TIME TRAITORS

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 the lucky few scientists cleared for t...

10 SciFi Romances with Four Armed Heroes

Note: This post first appeared in the Roswell Daily Record.

One interesting subtrope in scifi romance is the four armed alien hero. I have to say I prefer the more standard set of two arms but I give kudos to the SFR authors who have figured this adaptation out and use it successfully to please their readers.

The first four armed hero I ever read was Rendash in Claimed by An Alien Warrior: BBW Alien Romance by Tiffany Roberts and I was very drawn to him in spite of myself. This husband-and-wife ...

Why I Wrote COLONY UNDER SIEGE INTERSTELLAR PLAGUE

VS: From the Archives…this book recently got a terrific 4.5 Star review from Sophia at the Books of My Heart Blog – she’s been working her way through basically all the Sectors novels and I’m so thrilled and honored AND her critiques are spot on. She gets me and my characters but she also brings up a few things for sure. 

As with all my novels, there was more than one motivator behind the plot. I’ve actually wanted to write this book for many years, including the plague part, but other books al...
