New Releases in #SciFi and #Fantasy Romance for Wednesday January 4

[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. And I 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.)

Also, I usually include only the beginning of the bo...

Guest Liza O’Connor Talks Sky Diving and SCAVENGER FALTERS

[image error]

Veronica: My guest today is a prolific author who writes cool stories in many genres and today is sharing thoughts and an excerpt from Scavenger Falters, her latest scifi romance.

It’s truly mine!

Origin of the saying is based on...

My 15 Favorite #SciFi and #Fantasy Book Covers of 2016

I decided for my year end post I’d select my favorite book covers from this year. (Of course I’m very partial to my own LOL, thanks to the artistry of Fiona Jayde, but you can see them on the sidebar.)

Since I primarily read in the scifi romance and fantasy genres, those are where my choices are drawn from. I see huge numbers of covers all year long in connection with my New Releases posts, and other posts I write, so my loose criteria were: does the cover linger in my memory over time to som...

SFR Brigade Showcase STAR SURVIVOR and Giveaway

[image error]Alas, I don’t write holiday stories in the novels set in my far future (or not yet anyway) so the best I can do is give you a fairly light hearted moment from my new book, Star Survivor. (Things get pretty deadly serious after this scene) The book blurb is below the excerpt.

Fun stuff first though – the GIVEAWAYS! I’m doing three, and will select three commenters randomly on the morning of December 20th, and will post my winners here. Please tell us your favorite winter or Christmas memory!
