Lyrical's Scaretober Sale!
Until the end of October my publisher Lyrical Press Inc. has 50% off their entire catalog, with books available in all digital formats no matter what kind of ereader you possess. This means you can buy my science fiction romance Keir for just $2.50 from here.
Outcast. Cursed. Dying. Is Keir beyond redemption?
For Keirlan de Corizi--the legendary 'Blue Demon' of Adalucien--death seems the only escape from a world where his discolored skin marks him as an oddity and condemns him to life as a pari...

Is A Clone Your Sibling Or Your Child?
Image by Danielle Fine I've been working on a science fiction romance titled Tethered, a story that sprang on me Christmas Day after a discussion with friends about underused mythical creatures and the potential use in scifi. Yeah, that's a typical conversation for me. :-P I nicknamed Tethered my 'succubi' story, not realizing succubi have in fact been well used in speculative fiction. I hadn't seen or read any, and once the idea jumped me I couldn't leave it alone.
Ten months down the l...

"No intention of mine," she snapped. Not now. Not ever!
"Perhaps I can be of service?"
Marie stared at him...at it. She'd heard about the VA avatars but never been so close to one.

Six Sentence Sunday #59
Hello! Welcome to another #sixsunday post. I've been out of circulation for a while, and thought I'd return with a snippet of my up-coming release, a science fiction romance short story titled Terms & Conditions Apply. Be warned, there is bad language at the start as my female MC Marie isn't happy. Enjoy!
"Fuck you, Jaisen Ty-Reen!"
"Was that a statement of intent, or purely a curse?"
Marie jerked her gaze upward to meet that of the man before her, then reassessed her first thought. This w...
