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?

I'm being interviewed about my sci-fi romance novel The Colony on the SFR Brigade blog. http://sfrcontests.blogspot.com/2017/...
Colonial Expansion Series
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!
