UPON THIS ROCK:
Beneath the Vatican lies a gateway to other worlds, closed for millennia. Mithra has labored for centuries to reach across the aether and connect with a human carrying the ancient genetic markers needed to wield the key and open the sealed gate.

Ashley has no one in her life but the voice in her head, the warm, sultry whispers of Mithra that haunt her dreams. He promises they will be united once she accepts his devastating gifts of power.

Empowered by Mithra and aided by Urvashi – a fallen angel – Ashley must embrace her destiny as the gatekeeper before Mithra's enemies take control of her and the gate. Many factions vie for access, but Mithra vows to protect Ashley at any cost, even if it means a war between worlds.

Genetically Engineered Heroes And Heroines With Cynthia Sax #SciRom #ASMSG

Cynthia Sax stopped by the Nightlife Blog for a little chitchat on Genetically Engineered Heroes and Heroines!
Want the perfect lover? The perfect assassin? The perfect being?
Design him or her.
This isn’t yet possible but it isn’t as ridiculous a suggestion as it was a decade ago. We’ve cloned animals (and, I suspect, humans – though no one will admit to this). We’ve replaced defective genes with effective ones. There are experiments happening right now in laboratories that could change who or what we are.
It is this ‘could’ that fascinates many SciFi romance writers, including Travis and myself.
Why would we want to change humans? For military purposes? To allow us to inhabit planets with different atmospheres or environments? To eliminate aging and death.
How would we want to change humans? Will we make ourselves self-healing? Give us wings and the ability to fly? Increase our speed? Our strength?
The possibilities of genetic engineering are endless and so are the possible characters.
Travis has his enigmatic Angel, the heroine of his action-packed Angel 6.0 series. As he shares, she is the “untapped potential of the human genome, the next step in human evolution.” Will she use her enhancements to help her human creators or to help the Gran? We’re not quite sure.


Rage, the hero of my most recent release, Releasing Rage, is a cyborg. He’s half man, half machine, genetically designed to be the ideal warrior. He has both processors and a brain. He learns as quickly as a computer but has the ability to think and act for himself. His genetically enhanced muscles supplement his protective metal frame. He heals quickly and has an almost limitless lifespan.
Rage was manufactured to be a weapon. He’s treated as an object. He’s well aware that, although he resembles a human, he isn’t one. He’ll never be one. When he meets his human heroine, his differences are amplified even more. 
The great thing about genetically engineered heroes and heroines in SciFi romance is… no one intentionally designs an unattractive being. (grins) Angel, Travis’ heroine, is attractive. Rage, although scarred and an earlier primitive model of cyborg, is very hunky. Genetic enhancements can also have interesting impacts on the physical part of a relationship.
If you genetically engineer a human with one trait, what trait would you choose? Why?

Check out Cynthia Sax's latest Scifi Romance novel!




Releasing Rage
Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.

Rage, the Humanoid Alliance's most primitive cyborg, has two goals--kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that's all he's been programmed to experience.

Until he meets Joan.

Joan, the battle station's first female engineer, has one goal--survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.

When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage's priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg's heart for both love and revenge?

Create Explosively Viral Book Giveaways! This is Fascinating! #Giveaways #ASMSG

Create Explosively Viral Book Giveaways and Book Launches with UpViral!http://smarturl.it/UpViral-1


I've been considering using a program that makes book giveaways explosive, a way to gather thousands of emails from fans of my genre. So far, the results using rafflecopter are lackluster.
Compared to rafflecopter, UpViral is insane. I'll be using this stuff for the next year, collecting thousands of fan emails, and giving them books to read. 



The other thing I learned about this software, I can put it on any site or domain. That means I can use it for any pen names I create, for my blog, my website, and integrate it into my Facebook page, and Facebook or Twitter advertising.  Its fucking awesome.
Authors out there looking for a way to use giveaways to get emails -- this is it.

Enjoy alien aphrodisiac liquor at the Summer Cafe @sfrbrigade #SFR #Giveaways #ASMSG

Here at the SFR Brigade's Summer Cafe its time for some supernova hotness with space opera erotic romance. Dine in with Scifi Romance Excerpts and a giveaway! Care to join me for brunch?

Here's all the places we'll be visiting durning the Supernova Hotness week of the blog hop with the SFR Brigade:
');

In my cafe, as we dine among alien artifacts, we appreciate the finer qualities of aphrodisiac liquor distilled for concubines of the Gran....

Excerpt  -- Lots of Fun (NSFW)
Instead of striking me or chastising me as I expected, he clicked approval and grabbed another bottle of liquor from his cabinet. He poured my glass full once more. After the fifth cup, I felt nothing. No desire for Cesar. No need for Cesar. No desire to be rid of this tall, furry, striped son-of-a bitch with his huge cock swinging in front of my face. I felt nothing but a floating haze of inebriation.Liquor was the answer to my problems.After the sixth cup, I’d was a grinning fool who could barely stand, perfectly content sprawled across the Captain’s lap, my cheek rested against his thick, warm cock. There was something about his gloriously large cock that made me happy, even though I’d never get it inside me.I buried my fingers in the fur of his thighs, giggling and enjoying the feeling of his powerful musculature. I rubbed my face against the soft fur on his chest. I knew what he wanted, the same thing every male wants. Instead I teased him and avoided his ever-hardening cock. When I tried to stand up I fell over and found myself whisked into his powerful arms. He laid me out on his couch-lounger and hovered over me, a look of satisfaction on his face.“I understand you, Angel. I know you are pained by the loss of your men. For this reason I forgive you … this time.”He unzipped my suit and I did not fight him. He stripped my one-piece off and all I could do was giggle. He grabbed my knees in his clawed grip and squeezed hard enough to draw blood. The pain brought more trickles of euphoria and a smile to my face. It didn’t matter if he wanted to hurt me. He’d already destroyed me when he took me from Cesar. Physical pain was nothing more than pleasure to my twisted nervous system.Bleeding and smiling, I curled up naked in his arms, loving the sensations of his slippery, soft fur on my skin. I had to face the fact this was my place, right here, playing pretend for the Captain. If I couldn’t be with Cesar, I had to try to salvage a future.I had to accept the harsh truth: I was not made to be loved. Who could love a thing designed in a laboratory, an experiment? No love for Angel. But I could still have fun. Lots of fun.
Excerpt  -- Make Him Pay (NSFW)
With Cronin’s ship cruising double-time to reach the jump site at the outer edge of our solar system, I found my fellow concubine curled into a ball, passed out on the couch in her cabin. Chilla’s beautiful green-striped fur had bloodstains from a recent round of punishing sex with Cronin. If there was a hell for Cats, that son-of-a-bitch Cronin had a special corner dedicated to him.Seeing her miserable condition lit fires of fury in my veins. My hands shook with the intense adrenaline rush, the need to lash out and hurt someone. If he fucking came near me, I’d probably break his claws off one a time and use them to castrate him.He tried to enter our cabin a few hours later, without permission or warning. I kicked him so hard in his fat, fist-sized balls that he puked all over the hallway as I shoved him back out the door.Chilla moaned from the couch. “If I deny him, he will short my payment.”“And if you’re dead, how will you collect your money?”She didn’t argue that one. Concubines had died servicing males who lost control while high on amixa. She’d admitted as much, and I feared she’d end up like one of her lost sisters, dead on the floor, fucked and mauled to death.Chilla’s thighs showed deep scarring from the many times she’d been mauled during sex with males high on amixa. Her nanomed cream healed her wounds in a couple days, but it didn’t get rid of the scars. That cream she used religiously was the only reason she’d survived this long.The Captain and I couldn’t really have sex, and he didn’t do any permanent damage to me. Though his massive cock didn’t fit me, he was creative with his games of pretend. Luckily, my skin healed in hours without a mark. I could serve him well enough to keep him away from Chilla until she recovered.Cronin waited a few hours before he knocked on our door with a polite growl, requesting entry. I hoped his balls were too sore to get it up and enjoy his drug addiction. Chilla, the fool, answered the door and let him in. The stupid female worried she wouldn’t get paid if she refused him service.Though I wanted to crush his swollen testicles in my hands so I could watch him mewl and puke, I volunteered to service him, to keep him off Chilla for another day. Like a good little concubine I followed Cronin back to his cabin. He laid out the bottle of spiced amber-colored liquor with little spongy squares of spice cake –Angel treats – and watched me strip off my one-piece suit. The Cats, specifically Cronin, preferred I wear the clothing of a female Cat – a barely there bra, and a belted skirt thing that left my legs, thighs and most of my ass bared. My zipper suit was quickly discarded as the Captain brought out my new outfit, another facet of his pretend routine.Standing naked before this massive male, with a swinging dick as long as my arm, I was glad for the liquor. The potent aphrodisiac liquor allowed me to perform for this motherfucker, instead of killing him like I wanted to. He bent me over, sprayed amixaon my back and ass, and rubbed his monstrous cock between my thighs, pretending to fuck me. With the heavy meat of his erection rubbing my inner thighs and pussy raw, I knew somehow, some way, I’d make him pay. If not for all he’d done to me – for Chilla.
