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

It's release day for my sci-fi romance novel THE OUTPOST, and the book is now available at Kobo, Amazon, iTunes, Smashwords, Hoopla, etc. https://books2read.com/u/4XA1ra

This is book 3 in the Colonial Expansion series, though it can be read as a standalone story.

Josie’s first day as a colonial security officer on planet Litus starts with the discovery of human remains washed up on a sandbar. She assumes the bones belong to the outpost’s only missing resident, a scientist named Heidi Ferrin. Then Heidi’s body turns up farther along the shore. Using her background as a police detective, Josie investigates the mysterious deaths and uncovers a disturbing secret about the colony.

Her ex, Brayden, works at the outpost as an engineer. In a building full of strangers, he’s the only one she fully trusts. He also has the smarts and technical savvy to help her. Maybe this is a second chance for them, but to keep him and the other colonists safe, she’ll have to figure out what’s happening on this planet before anyone else turns up dead.
