Effing Feline was naughty (heh, heh, heh)
Fart-Fueled Flying Feline, Effing for short, writes the Weekend Writing Warrior / Sunday Snippet posts on Mr. V’s behalf
I, Effing Feline, was naughty.
Cousin Lee, who overstayed his welcome
My pet human, Ed Hoornaert (aka Mr Valentine) went out back to mow the lawn yesterday, while my visiting Cousin Lee (at right) watched birds through the window and licked his lips.
When Mr V came in for water, I batted a catnip mouse against the jamb … and when he went back outside again, gee, the door didn’t latch. How’d that happen? Heh, heh, heh. Slipping my paw into the crack, I pulled with all my mighty strength. Cousin Lee bounded out the door and over the six-foot brick wall around the yard. Bye bye, Cousin Lee, hello, peace and quiet!
To celebrate, I’ve chosen 10 sentences from an upcoming science fiction book of Mr V’s: a short story collection called Future Love. This snippet is from Thimbleriggers, in which a crook invents a new form of pornography — with unintended consequences.
The crook’s first ‘subject’ is the story’s romantic lead: a 90-year-old woman. Mature (90 years mature!) subject matter ahead.
“I imagine I understand better than you the physics and psychology involved in your, uh…device,” she said.
Aldous gave the ugly grey crate an affectionate nudge with his foot. “The research lab I bought it from called it a breadbox, ’cause of its size and shape, but me, I call it a mind-raper.”
Kathleen rotated a cheap-looking bracelet around and around her wrist. “Anyway, your, uh, device scans and digitizes my memories, which you’ll sell over the Internet to customers with those new home theater extension packages. They’ll experience my thoughts and emotions, as well as the full sensory range of my sexual experiences — visual, aural, olfactory, tactile.”
Internet? No one had used that term since before he was born. “Don’t forget taste, sister.” Aldous stuck his middle finger into his mouth, sucked noisily, and then laughed.
Effing Feline here again. One of you texted me, asking what happened to Cousin Lee. When last seen, he was chasing a Fiat down Broadway. Caught it, too. The driver got away, but the Fiat? Down the hatch in two bites. Heh, heh, heh.

SFR Brigade Showcase – May
Every month, the Science Fiction Romance Brigade highlights some of its brilliant authors.
An Easy Way to Find Lots of Place Names
When writing science fiction or fantasy, you often need a lot of place name. For example, in my recent release, Escapee, my hero and heroine were flying around a Mars-sized moon to attack enemy headquarters. They flew over a lot of valleys and mountain ranges — so I needed names. Lots and lots of names.
I came up with an easy way to find them. A way that has the advantage of hinting at backstory.
I used a map.
A Map? What Kind of Map?
The kind of map you use depends on your story.
Escapee is a space opera set in an indeterminate future, when humans have expanded to the stars. On our Earth, colonists brought familiar names with them: New York, New Zealand, Nuevo Leone, Nieuw Amsterdam. Colonists of the future will likely do the same.
In a previous book in this series, I’d named a planet New Ontario, or Enno for short. Although I never mention that Enno’s culture is derived from North America, the name establishes the connection with no need for explanation.
For the nearly unihabited mining moon where Escapee is set, I chose a Canadian name in keeping with New Ontario: Banff, because I love the national park of that name. I then got out a map of Banff and picked names off it.
Voila! Not only did I have all the names I needed, but I enjoyed the process, because I’ve visited most of the places whose names I stole borrowed. You can see .
What if I’m Writing Fantasy or an Alien World?
Although I’ve never done it, I can imagine how a map can help — change the names to give them an alien or other-Earthly tinge. To show you what I mean, I took a map of Belgium at random, and played with a few possible transformations:
Brugge ==> Zarugga
Tuin ==> Tatuin (!)
Brussels ==> Zharuzzel
Alst ==> Phralst
Lommel ==> Lommint
Roeselare ==> Royslar
I didn’t spend long on this, so you could probably do better. But hopefully you get the idea.
What next?
Be sure to visit the other writers in the SFR Brigade Showcase.

Effing Feline’s ears are ringing
Fart-Fueled Flying Feline, Effing for short, writes the Weekend Writing Warrior / Sunday Snippet posts on Mr. V’s behalf
Cousin Lee
I, Effing Feline, still like Cousin Lee … but he’s been here too hissing long.
If he gets to the food bowl before I do, there’s nothing left for me. He broke my cat climber by leaping to the top level. Yesterday we were playing with a catnip mouse, and when I actually got it from him for a moment, he roared at me. My ears are still ringing. And when he’s hungry, I don’t like the way he looks at me.
I want my bed all to myself. I want my food all to myself. I want Mr V’s lap all to myself. Poor me! Pity poor, poor me!
This is (sob) the last snippet from Escapee. In the movie, African Queen, after Bogart and Hepburn become lovers, offscreen of course, there’s a short stretch of (sob) happiness. Bogart screeches like a monkey and roars like a hippo. At least he doesn’t roar like Lee; my ears couldn’t take it. Here’s an equivalent scene in Escapee.
Although Catt is happy in her love, she worries about her mother and sister back home, whom she supports with her profits. To alleviate her (sob) concern, and fully expecting to die when they attack the enemy, Hank rewrites his Last Will and Testament.
“Hank, you don’t have to do this,” Catt said.
“I want to. Who else am I going to name as my beneficiary?”
“Gee, I don’t know. How about your brother, or your sister, your parents, a pet mizzet, or your favorite charity?”
“Duke has a great job on Farflung Station. Helen is the stingiest person alive even though she’s rich. My parents are both generals, and their combined pensions alone make them richer than most of your hated patroons. I’m allergic to mizzets, and my friend the skoot doesn’t need money. And my favorite charity is, I find, your family.”
Effing Feline here again. Make sure you visit all the Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sundays posts. (Sob.)
I’m really ready for Lee to Leeve. Can he go live with one of you? Purrty please?

Escapee Release week #6 – sign up for the giveaway
All week, we’ve been looking at various aspects of my new science fiction romance, Escapee — from the genesis of the doomed moon, Banff, to how its structure mirrors that of the movie African Queen. Today, on the last day of release week, you’ll get a taste of the book itself.
The following excerpt appears early in the book. It’s analogous to the scene in The African Queen in which Humphrey Bogart rescues Kathryn Hepburn by bringing his ship to the mission after the Germans destroyed it.
In Escapee, however, the genders are reversed. Rough-and-ready Catt Sayer comes to Castle Mountain Fortress and finds only one survivor, upper-class Captain Hector Dukelsky, who returned from leave to find all his soldiers dead. She’s suspicious of him, partly because he had once jokingly referred to her as a prostitute, and partly because she figures a commander should not be the only survivor of a massacre. Hector speaks first.
“You see no bodies, Miss Sayer, because I buried them over the past seven days.”
Catt waited for him to continue, but he didn’t. “Oh yeah?” she scoffed. She knew he was lying, because she’d crawled over the twisted remains of the fortress’s backhoe, whose micro-explosives enabled it to burrow into Banff’s rocky ground. “You dug graves by hand in solid rock. Yeah, right.”
“Enemy bombs blasted the graves. I just filled the holes with bodies and rubble.”
For one body, that was believable. For more than a hundred, though? Catt bit back a retort. From anyone else she’d suspect sarcasm. From him, she didn’t know what to expect.
Then she noticed how red his skin was, as though exposed far too long to the moon’s corrosive atmosphere. Lighter patches marked where he’d worn goggles and a respirator. “You did all that without a bio-suit?” Like most people, she didn’t trust respirators for more than a few minutes at a time. The man was either suicidal or insanely devoted to duty.
“I’d left my bio suit here while I went on leave, and it was destroyed in the attack. As for leaving before the Proximanian army returns, I thought of that long before you did, which was why I hastened to finish my reports.”
The entire moon had fallen into enemy hands and yet this officer wrote reports? Her opinion must’ve shown on her face, because his flinty expression slipped, revealing exhaustion, despair, and a plea for understanding.
“I know I’ll never be able to send them, but…” He ran a hand over his eyes, and the unfeeling martinet was back. “The reports are letters to my men’s families, explaining how they died at their posts, defending New Ontario’s interests.”
Catt opened her mouth. Closed it. Felt her face flame. Facing Dukelsky was like staring into a furnace. She lowered her gaze. “I didn’t know…”
“Yet you assumed the worst of me.”
Without thinking, she had slumped into the submissive, hunched posture of a peasant being scolded by a patroon. Now, though, she straightened. Embarrassment warred with anger, yet she wouldn’t let him or any other patroon humble her, ever again. “Turnabout’s a bitch, eh?”
She expected him to ask what she meant. He didn’t, though a narrowing of his eyes told her he remembered his cheap prostitute comment. Their eyes locked. She refused to back down first.

Effing Felines adores his cousin
Fart-Fueled Flying Feline, Effing for short, writes the Weekend Writing Warrior / Sunday Snippet posts on Mr. V’s behalf
I, Effing Feline, told you that my cousin, Lee, was coming to visit. He’s here, and I adore Cousin Lee. Having such a marvelous relative makes me feel empowered. Invincible. Strong. When Lee wants something, he takes it — and my pet human, Ed Hoornaert, aka Mr Valentine, is too polite to object. I love it!
After last week’s snippet, Hank explains why he wants to attack the enemy: he yearns to fight evil. Inspired by his idealism, Catt agrees to fly him to the enemy headquarters … if she can.
When their relationship changes, the stiff and proper Hector changes, too. In this snippet, we witness him unbend he explains his name (which, as you know, is very rare and unusual a thousand years from now).
“Only the legendary Achilles could defeat Hector.” His voice took on a measured, lecturing cadence at odds with surviving a crash landing, to say nothing of their mutual lack of clothes. “Hector was known for his courage—peace-loving and thoughtful, but a martyr to loyalty to family and—”
When he paused and said nothing more, Catt bent to scoop up her shirt.
“You know something, Catt? I’m sick of explaining that Hector is a noble, if ancient, name. Call me … what? How about Hank? Somebody called Hank is a guy who knows how to have fun, a regular guy with regular parents who won’t object to him loving a brave peasant woman.”
Effing Feline here again. Lee wants me to post a picture of him, and of course I’ll do whatever he says.
Lee also says he insists that you visit all of the Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sundays posts. You’d better do as he says!
Cousin Lee sharing his best smile

Escapee Release week #5: The African Queen
I describe my new science fiction romance, Escapee, as The African Queen in Outer Space. The 1951 movie, The African Queen inspired the book. My version is set on an inhospitable moon, rather than the African Jungle, but in both tales the hero and heroine battle nature and, ultimately, the invading enemy.
How did I use the movie to inspire a science fiction romance novel? By borrowing its structure while inventing new characters, new enemies, and an entirely new setting.
Analyzing the Movie for Structure
I rented the movie and looked for two things:
Stages — Charley and Rosie’s relationship go through a number of stages.
Turning points — The events that caused their relationship to change from one stage to another.
I then devised analogous stages and turning points for Escapee. Here are a few of them, so you get the feel for how the analysis worked.
Stage 1: Polite disconnect between hero and heroine.
AQ — Rosie, a missionary in German East Africa, disapproves of Charley, a crude freighter captain who brings supplies, but treats him with chilly politeness.
Escapee — Hector, a stuffy career army officer, disapproves of the freewheeling, lower-class airship pilot, Catt Sayer, who supplies his base.
Turning point: The enemy invades. In AQ, it’s the Germans, who leave Rosie alone and stranded — until Charley comes by and saves her.
In Escapee, it’s humans from the Proxima system. While Hector’s on leave, they destroy his entire command, leaving him stranded and alone — until Catt lands, looking for survivors.
Stage 2: Rosie devises the goal of attacking the Germans. In Escapee, it’s Hector who strives to attack the enemy Proximanians. Both goals require a long, impossibly difficult journey. The lead characters’ genders are reversed.
I won’t try your patience by detailing each goal and turning point, but here are a few high points.
Turning point: When mild danger fails to deter Rosie (Hector) from her purpose, his true feelings come out explosively, causing a rift. In the movie, the danger is rapids; in Escapee, it’s volcanoes.
Turning point: The rift is healed when Charley (Catt) wholeheartedly agrees to make the impossible journey. The reasons for agreeing are quite different
Turning point: After they make love for the first time, life is gloriously happy for awhile.
Turning point: The dangers of the journey start to take a toll. In AQ, rapids and a twisted drive shaft threaten to end their journey before they reach the enemy. In Escapee, a storm and a crash landing ‘kills’ Catt’s android co-pilot, whom they need for the journey to reach the enemy.
And so forth.
Escapee — The African Queen in Outer Space
Catt Sayer just wants to survive. The working-class fugitive delivers military supplies on her decrepit airship, but her hard-won livelihood vanishes when invaders overrun her harsh moon. And now an idealistic, upper-class officer wants her to risk her life on a hopeless voyage to attack enemy headquarters – manned by 10,000 soldiers.

Escapee Release Week #4; the Dukelsky family
Escapee was released April 19, 2016. It’s the second book in a loosely connected series called Repelling the Invasion. The books can be read in any order; they’re connected only by focusing on members of the Dukelsky family — first Priam (nicknamed Duke) and then his twin brother Hector (nicknamed Hank).
You don’t have to read book one, The Guardian Angel of Farflung Station, but you’ll enjoy it if you do. Here’s some information about it.
Farflung Space Station is the first line of defense against the space pirates who are getting bolder every year. They haven’t counted on Sandrina, though, who knows so many of Farflung’s secrets that she’s the most powerful person on the entire station…though nobody knows it yet.
They’re about to find out.
Edward Hoornaert’s romantic space opera, The Guardian Angel of Farflung Station begins the saga of the Dukelsky family (continued in Escapee). If you enjoyed the adventures of Han, Luke, and Leia while on the Death Star, you’ll love The Guardian Angel of Farflung Station.
What Do Readers Think?
Here’s what actual readers have said about Guardian Angel (average Amazon rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars):
“Space Opera at its best, woven with romantic tension, and an on-station adventure where worlds collide.”
“I loved this novella. The heroine was the most interesting character to me because she was brave, clever, and intrepid”
“Get ready for Deep Space Nine meets Andromeda.”
“The book is strong on many levels, and combines elements of action and romance into the mix.”
“The dialogue is incredible and the sexual tension is intense.”
Best of all — you can win a free copy of Guardian Angel. Scroll to the end of the post to find out how.

Escapee Release Week #3: More about names
(If you’re looking for information about the Escapee Release Week giveaway, scroll to the bottom of the page.)
Banff National Park
In yesterday’s release week post, you learned that I stole the place names in Escapee from Banff National Park. Here are some specifics.
Captain Dukelsky’s command at Castle Mountain Fortress is destroyed early in the book. It is named after the most impressive mountain visible from the Trans-Canada Highway through Banff Park.
————————————————————————————–
Norquay, where the enemy headquarters lie, is named after Mt Norquay, well known as a ski hill.
Another of the outposts captured by the enemy is Rundle City. The town of Banff sits at the foot of Mt Rundle. Here is Mount Rundle as seen from Mount Norquay. The town is at lower right.
————————————————————————————–
The author at Lake Louise
Catt pilots her airship, the Escapee, through Louise Valley, where the airship is attacked by a Proximanian jet copter. Lake Louise is the most famous lake in Banff Park.

Under Escapee’s Hood
You may have noticed that the travel poster calls Catt and Hank’s moon ‘Banff’ — which is the name of a town in Scotland and also of a national park in Alberta.
Since Catt and Hank must fly all the way around their moon to attack the headquarters of an invading army, I needed a lot of place names. To make it easier (and more interesting, at least for me), I dug out a map of Banff National Park, where the wife and I honeymooned eons ago, and stole names.
Banff (the fictional moon, not the national park) is dying. It used to be a planet, but has since been captured into orbit around a gas giant. The giant’s gravity is tearing the moon apart, causing storms and thousands of volcanoes. That’s why the travel poster claims that it’s ‘the hottest moon in the galaxy.’
After being battered and sexually abused, Catt stole money from her aristocratic abuser and escaped. She fled to Banff because people told her it was the best place to escape from the law. And they were right. Cops don’t bother to chase fugitives to such a ridiculously dangerous moon. That’s why the poster proclaims that ‘The cops’ll never find you’.
And now you know the story behind the names.
