Negotiations for a Used Spaceship Snippet from REEDE’S MISSION TO THE SECTORS

REEDE’S MISSION TO THE SECTORS can be read as a standalone but is book 15 in the Badari Warriors scifi romance series, so there are mild spoilers in it for earlier books.

Fallyn’s resigned from the military in order to search for Reede, her fated mate, and help him on his quest (see book blurb below) but she needs a ship.

The excerpt (Damin is the salesperson):

“We can take her up,” Damin offered. “I’ll need a few minutes to get clearance from the spaceport control but you should do a test drive...

Why I Wrote CAMRON Badari Warriors SciFi Romance with Excerpt

VS: From the Archives…

Camron is the eighth book in the Badari Warriors world (the seventh numbered book) and as always I wanted to tell a different story than the readers have seen before, within the general framework. I mean, obviously each novel contains a genetically engineered soldier of the far future, the evil alien scientists known as the Khagrish and a human heroine (or hero, as was the case in one book where I had a Badari woman). And the combat against the Khagrish is ongoing. But I ...

RISKING HER HEART (RED PLANET FATED MATES BOOK NINE) by Miranda Martin

A forbidden love, a deadly mission, and a passion too fierce to deny. I was never supposed to end up on this desolate, sun-scorched planet. And falling for Zas’tu—a powerful alien dragon-man ...

Close the Door Snippet DANGER ON THE NILE Paranormal Romance in Ancient Egypt

The excerpt, from close to the beginning of the book. Mayet, a new priestess, is in the inner sanctum of the temple, cleaning the altar: 

The sound of the heavy door opening caused Mayet to spin with a gasp. She wasn’t finished yet—the high priestess was early. Punishment for disappointing the goddess would be swift and Mayet would walk in pain for several days after the whipping she knew would be meted out. Or perhaps the priestess would be more merciful and spare the rod but put her on bread a...

I Have to Fight Snippet from RENNYR SciFi Romance Gladiator

Sharing from my second scifi romance gladiator novel RENNYR (BADARI GLADIATORS BOOK TWO).

If you want the full story of what this couple goes through and how they battle to survive and protect each other, and their romance, with all the nuances and details, the book is available wide. 

The excerpt:

All along the corridor the force barriers deactivated and men were herded away as he had been previously. His own cell remained locked. Rennyr paced, the great beast inside him impatient to get on wit...

How Many Oxygen Breathers Snippet WRECK OF THE NEBULA DREAM “Titanic in Space”

The excerpt: The ship has suffered an unexplained accident and the crew seems to have disappeared. In the absence of any crew members Special Forces operator Nick Jameson takes charge of loading a lifeboat. The D’vannae Brother helping him is an assassin/bodyguard serving an alien goddess of flames.

“Quiet down now,” he said, watching the people in the front row of the mob, getting eye contact, to personalize his commands, make them feel like responsible individuals, not a mindless, panicking he...

BOUND (GLADIATORS OF THE GRYN BOOK THREE) by Hattie Jacks

The alien virus I caught after I was taken from Earth has left me a shadow of my former self. The only saving grace, my voice is unaffected, but it means I’m the songstress to a wealthy alien who keeps me...

First Meeting Snippet STAR CRUISE TIME LOOP “Groundhog Day in Space”

I love “Groundhog Day” style time loop romances and it finally occured to me I should write my own! I had to do more advance plotting than I usually do in order to have enough elements for the time loop to repeat and be interesting as the female main character begins to unravel the day she’s living through over and over and works to change the outcome.

And who can resist the idea of an alien “turtle” pet who can leave his shell?

The excerpt – oh, did I mention there’s a big budget futuristic ‘mo...

NOTE: This post first appeared in the Roswell Daily Record…

At this time of the year there are a lot of cozy, seasonal  scifi and paranormal romance stories out there to curl up with over a cup of hot cocoa.

Evangeline Anderson takes one of the major tropes – two people trapped in a cabin together – and turns the idea on its head in Trapped in the Christmas Cabin: A Kindred Tales Spicy Shorts Novella. The two main characters are an alien (MMC) and a human (FMC), co-workers, assigned to test a Ch...
