sci fi romance box set & how it all started
So yes, I should have been working on Grant's story the last 2 days *slapping own hand*, but I thought I'd try my hand at making a box set of some of my earlier sci-fi romances.
So I did it - after much gnashing of teeth and banging my head on the desk. I thought it'd be easy...WRONG!
Anyway, before I delved into the wonderfully voluptuous world of BBW romances, I used to write sci-fi romances, not a very popular genre it would seem. Though Sherrilyn Kenyon apparently writes a sci-fi romance series titled the 'League' series. I'll have to give it a go, looks good!
Anyway, in my own rambling way, I'm here to say that the first 4 books in the Heart & Soul series is available at Amazon, All Romance eBooks and Smashwords as a box set.
When I first started my sci-fi romance adventure some years ago (let's not get into how long ago, okay?), I had a very ego-stinging experience of having one publisher tell me to keep my fantasies to myself - apparently having three husbands wasn't something she wanted to see way back then. Yes, I admit I had my heroine - kidnapped from Earth, no less - have 3 warrior husbands - but it was tame compared to nowadays!
Wow, kind of my first erotic romance with tame sex scenes and no eroticism...go figure.
My response to this? I got all fired up, wrote Heart of an Outlaw (the sex scenes are few and tame, but action wise? Got it! LOL...or so I think). My sci-fi romance writing roll went from there.
It's interesting to look back and see the stories progress, gradually getting a little hotter, a little darker, a little funnier, all depending on the story-line. My first heroine was kind of young...got a blasting for that...but I swear they've gotten a little older with each book! And hey, historical romances sometimes had really young heroines...*sniffle*
It's been a frustrating, fun and sometimes heartbreaking ride, but I lived to tell the tale! (no pun intended).
I have to say, if nothing else, the cover is pretty *hot*! Had to sacrifice some time looking for that perfect male specimen
I've always been curious about box sets, and now I've got all that out of my system, tomorrow it's back to Gully's Fall and Grant. I left him and the heroine shocked and hor- er... mustn't give too much away!

Happy New Year & some other things
Hi all
wanted to wish you all a very blessed and Happy New Year. Hope it's your best yet! Mum, the furries and I are having a quiet day. Mum is watching one of her DVDs while I'm doing some catch-up on the internet for an hour or two.
So, a couple of things:
1. I've put out another box set - this one is Heart & Soul Science Fiction Romance box set bks 5-8. For anyone interested, the links are on my website.
2. Heart & Soul Science Fiction Romance box set bks 1 - 4 is free for a short time! Links again on my website.
3. Now, for something a little different - some might think it odd while others might agree. My first romance story - Heart of an Outlaw (sci-fi, BTW) that I wrote many years ago (no, I am NOT going to say how many years!!! LOL), the heroine was rather er...young. Okay, 16 yrs old to be precise. Back then it wasn't an issue, but I've noticed in the last couple of years that some readers have had huge issues with the age and it has both offended and stopped them reading further. I know there has been a change in the acceptance of book contents, and in consideration of this I have revised the story-line and made the heroine a couple of years older.
4. New Years Resolution - well, I don't do them. *gasp!*shock!*horror!* I never keep them so why waste time making them? LOL I'm being honest, people, it's what I do! Or don't do, actually. So I just keep plodding on doing the best I can and trying to go with the ebb and flow of what happens around me, and if I make it to the end of the year in one piece and smiling I reckon that's a great achievement!
Catch you very soon - I'm going to finish off my emails and stuff and then hit the sofa to read!!
cheers!
