First Meeting Snippet LADY OF THE NILE PNR Romance in Ancient Egypt

Cover by Fiona Jayde

Tuya is a lady of Pharaoh’s Court in 1550 BCE, world weary, sophisticated, bored wih her life and her place in Egyptian society. Khian is a captain from a distant nome (province), in Thebes temporarily after serving in an ongoing war against Egypt’s enemies. He’s at Court to receive gold of valor for his actions in battle and she’s in attendance as a lady-in-waiting to the queen.

This isn’t their actual first meeting with conversation – I’ll do that one next – but this is wh...

Why I Wrote STAR CRUISE IDOL’S CURSE with Excerpt

The events in STAR CRUISE: IDOL’S CURSE, now available separately since the anthology is over, takes place on my interstellar luxury cruise liner, the Nebula Zephyr. I always have so much fun revisiting my ship and having new adventures there.

This time my jumping off place for the plot was legends about bad luck hitting tourists who steal rocks from certain locales.

I’ve always been fascinated by these myths and the tales of bad luck people believe they incur if they ‘steal’ a rock from a cert...

First Meeting Snippet from BENET Badari SciFi Romance Gladiator

Here’s the first time the MMC and the FMC in my new release meet! (She was in the audience the day before when he had to fight 20 men and he definitely noticed her but they didn’t actually meet.) He’s now staying with Dmitri, another Badari he’s met.

He heard the front door open behind him but didn’t think anything of it, assuming Dmitri had been out for an early morning run. “I’ll cook us breakfast,” he said, turning with his hands full of the supplies he’d found, only to do a doubletake and st...

Why I Wrote BENET My 4th SciFi Romance Gladiator Novel

I love the old “sword and sandal” movies like ‘Demetrius and the Gladiators’ and any version of ‘The Last Days of Pompeii’, as well as more modern works like Starz’s ‘Spartacus’ series. So the idea of writing a scifi romance series involving futuristic gladiators fits right into my world view as an author.

And for those who wonder why my scifi gladiators wear what looks remarkably like ancient Roman uniforms – hey, it’s cool looking, it says ‘gladiator’ immediately and as a kid I imprinted on De...

Aliens Come in All Shapes and Sizes in SciFi Romance Books

VS Note: This post first appeared in the Roswell Daily Record, in conjunction with their annual UFO Festival.

We never got to find out what kind of romantic partners the famous Roswell Grey aliens might have been (or at least not as of this writing) but the description was a bit underwhelming for a scifi romance author in search of a hunky new Main Male Character. Short and frail in stature, with an enlarged head and apparent lack of the vital appendages one might need to be an MM...
