#SFR Galaxy Awards for Star Cruise Outbreak and Hostage to the Stars

[image error]Today the SFR Galaxy Awards were announced and I felt very honored to receive two nods for Star Cruise Outbreak, plus one for Hostage to the Stars, and two nods for the Pets In Space anthology! (Pets features stories by nine authors, including Star Cruise: Stowaway by yours truly.)

Wow – I’m blushing and beaming!

If you go to the SFR Galaxy Awards site you can see the complete list of “standout books in science fiction romance” the judges selected for this year’s list. Lots of good reading an...

New Releases in #SciFi and #Fantasy Romance for Wednesday January 25

[image error]I have not read most of the new releases listed (although I always end up one-clicking a bunch as I prepare these posts LOL) and as always I recommend sampling before you buy!

It’s a mix of the genres in no particular order. Also the term “new” is generally plus or minus a week or two. I try to catch up on ones I missed in recent months.

(NOTE: If the author provides me with buy links I insert those; otherwise I default to Amazon and iBooks. Pricing and availability are current as of the day...

Guest Patricia Preston and Everything His Heart Desires

[image error]Veronica: Today my guest is author Patricia Preston and she handles five quick questions.

Of all the characters you’ve created, which one is your favorite?

Pat: I can’t single one out. They have all been favorites, especially when I’m writing about them. Otherwise, I adore Darlene, my Marilyn Monroe wannabe from the 50’s, because she makes me laugh. (VS NOTE: Darlene is in Laid to Rest and Haints in Hollywood.)

What’s your go-to “writing avoidance” technique?

Pat: (If) There’s a new episode...

Guest Cara Bristol and CLAIMED BY THE CYBORG Excerpt

[image error]Veronica: I really loved this scifi romance novel and admired the twists and turns that Cara worked into the plot along the way.

Today Cara talks about the musical inspirations she had while writing the book.

Cara:

Authors often are asked what kind of music they listen to while writing or if a particular song inspired a story. For me, usually the answer is none and no. However, Claimed by the Cyborg is an exception. The most romantic of all the Cy-Ops Sci-fi Romance series books, it’s about...
