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!
