Tuesday Tuesday - Glyphs of Power by Callie Bourde #scifi #romance #excerpt
CHAPTER 1Abstract Meditative Art Shop, Jump Station Rho
Tap, tap, tap. Tap, tap. Hearing the quiet raps on the shop door, Daa grinned at her assistant. Pitching her voice so the person knocking would hear her, she said, "Kall'Ia! I hear a knock! Who could it be? Can't they see the CLOSED sign?"Kall'Ia played along. "Perhaps not... I understand there are D'Ur'Uma onstation and everyone knows they have poor reading comprehension.""I heard that! I brought food since I knew you two were working la...

Summer of Magic #BlogHop: A Time Traveller's Holiday #timetravel #scifi #romance

I'm also going to share an excerpt from an as yet unpublished side story in the series about how my time travelling characters spend their summer.
I consider myself lucky to live in the historical town of Colchester in the UK (Britain's oldest recorded m...

This is a follow on to my space opera short Quickshot (since a couple of reviewers expressed an interest in seeing more of these characters and this universe). No promises when this will be available (sorry!) but you can always go read the current Imperium book if you haven't already. ;) (Warning: this isn't edited yet).A hissing sound woke her, and she reached for her guns,...

Friday Favourites - Catrina Taylor #YA #fantasy

While there are hundreds, if not thousands of sources online, not all are reliable or understandable. I have found one YouTube channel that is both of those and entertaining....
