Andromeda is still trying to get used to her prosthetic arm and leg after a terrorist bombing left her injured. Through her work with the Sentinel Agency, she’s determined to stop the bad guys and keep innocent people from getting hurt.

Luka Stiles used to be the top supermodel in town. When the advertisers drop him and his film career fizzles, he’s left drowning his sorrows at the bar. He coasts along on his former fame, which happens to score him an invitation to an exclusive charity auction.

Andromeda must team up with Luka to get into that auction and hack the computers. She believes the foundation hosting it may be funneling money to terrorists, as well as trafficking in protected wildlife.

Together, Andromeda and Luka will face the rich and famous, high-tech security, evil science experiments, and government agents who aren’t at all what they appear.

Content: m/f romance, love scene, fight scene, reference to terrorist bombing

Exciting news! When I first wrote my sci-fi romance novel The Colony, it was only meant to be a standalone work. Well, the writing muse struck, and this year I began work on a second book. The Frontier is set in the same fictional universe as The Colony, but it contains all new characters fighting to survive on a different planet. As of right now, the book is heading into edits. The Frontier (Colonial Expansion Book 2) is slated to come out in early 2023. In the meantime, Strategy (The Sentinel Series Book 3) releases next month (May 2022), and then I have a box set coming out in September 2022.

Because The Colony is now part of a series, it needed a fresh cover. The new artwork for it is live now, and the book got some minor re-edits. I also added a content warning to the blurb to better inform readers before they dive into the novel (e.g. the book does have a love scene and descriptions of alien monsters attacking people).

If you're a sci-fi fan, be sure to check out The Colony and look for The Frontier, coming soon!

Not everyone will make it out alive.

Responding to a distress call, Officer Alexander Valerian and the rest of his security team arrive at the human colony on the planet of Jangala to find blood and gore all over the walls. All the colonists are dead or missing except for Dr. Elisa Everett, a pretty paleontologist he finds injured and nearly suffocated in a ventilation shaft. Now Alex has to figure out how sixty-nine colonists were wiped out in a single night, but Elisa’s account of killer monsters just raises more questions. Has the colony really been attacked by bloodthirsty beasts, or did everyone succumb to a powerful hallucinogen that made them turn on one another? He had better find out fast, because Elisa’s life is in his hands.

Content: m/f romance, love scene, attacks on humans, no cliffhangers, can be read as a standalone book
