My 5 Favorite Ruby Dixon #IcePlanetBarbarians Novels

I thought I’d start a new feature here on the blog and post periodically about five favorite novels from some of my must-read authors, although it’s hard to pick just a few from each author’s backlist. Who better to begin with than Ruby Dixon and the Ice Planet Barbarians and Icehome series? Recently the world of TikTok readers discovered these amazing stories and now they’re burning up all the sales charts. Yay for Ms. Dixon and for scifi romance!

(Allow me to note that over the years I’ve writ...

This month, in honor of mothers, I’m going to share a few sci-fi romance novels featuring a fierce mother as the main ch...
