Set her free - Snippet from Super Starrella for #WeWriWa

What was he doing in this strange place? Curiosity dampened her fears and sharpened her hearing. The first man asked, “What do you know of this girl, Tobarian?” “She is paired with a mare as her Farleon companion,” Toby’s twang again. Was his name really Tobarian? “Excellent! Set her free and watch for her powers to emerge. We need every recruit for our cause.” The man in charge sounded enthusiastic.

BlurbTeen superhero, Starrella, and her flying horse tackle villains in the skies of Atalanta. The quiet summer before her freshman year turns frighteningly weird after Estelle Wright trespasses onto an Army base. Blown into the air and knocked unconscious, she wakes with a nascent superpower. Not to mention a winged horse with a snarky attitude and a mind of her own. Back home in Atalanta, a serial killer is targeting the students at Goldman University. Before long she must juggle college classes with sneaking out of the house after dark to battle alien monsters. Estelle’s life is in danger, but who can she trust: handsome Captain Copper from military intelligence, or hunky Toby, the tough gangster with a motorbike? Both men have secret agendas, but falling in love is not in their plans. Young adult superheroes, quirky animal sidekicks, and a dash of romance enliven this thrilling adventure. Book 1 of the Secret Supers.

She is very young: Snippet from Super Starrella for #WeWriWa #Superhero Romance

“She is very young for the activation.” A woman’s impassive voice, judging by the high pitch.The gruff voice of a man said, “Can we trust a native like her? Our need is urgent. We are so few and the enemy grows more intrusive.” Estelle held her breath, intent on listening to the conversation.A second man said, “She is not the first, nor the youngest. She is nearly eighteen.” The nasal twang hit a familiar chord. The image of his sullen face and black ponytail flew into her mind, Toby, the hunky young man with the motorbike.

Dragon snippet for #SFFSat from Grand Master's Pawn

The black dragon stared over the lush swamp, rattled his scales and whipped his tail. His narrow head swiveled toward Violet, and he hissed, “The fight is mine, Vron Violet, do not fire your laser.” “I understand,” Violet said, biting her lip in a rush of fear for the dragon’s life. The huge Mynothros was even bigger than the gigantic sauropods that once roamed the ferny swamps of prehistoric Terra. Worse, the Mynothros of Sythos was a carnivore with enormous fangs. She offered a condition, “If you are trapped and near to death, I reserve the right to try and save your life.” Ythris scratched behind his horns and blinked his great eyes, “I agree; life with low status is better than death without honor.” He glanced back over the fern fringed waters. There was no sight or sound of the great beast. The dragon flapped his wings and hissed, “I will fly over the swamp and roust the great Mynothros from the depths.” “May fortune favor your battle,” Violet said. The black dragon swooped low over the swamp, screeching his battle cry. Silence fell, except for the rustle of the wind in the fern fronds. Violet held her breath; where was the Mynothros?

Grand Master’s Pawn, Book 1 in the Grand Master’s Trilogy is only 99c/99p
Reviewers say: “I loved the heroine, she is fearless, smart and kind.” “Wonderful detailed multiple world building.”“Exciting and full of vivid people, places, adventure, and emotion”

What is this creepy place? Snippet for #WeWriWa from Super Starrella #Superhero Romance

Fighting off panic, she forced herself into a wary calm. Gradually, her vision cleared and memories crept back. She was Estelle Wright, seventeen years old, on her way to college. Estelle stared up. Curved glass enclosed her body; above the transparent cylinder, glossy lines decorated the white ceiling. Her gaze traveled along the interleaved spiral paths; blinking, she wrenched her eyes away from the hypnotic patterns. What was this creepy place? It was not a regular hospital. Voices drifted to her ears from outside her room. They seemed to be discussing her.
If you really want to learn the truth, the eBook will be 99c for March, or you can PM me to request an ARC.

The quiet summer before her freshman year turns frighteningly weird after Estelle Wright trespasses onto an Army base. Blown into the air and knocked unconscious, she wakes with a nascent superpower.

New Release - Public Secrets by Liza O'Connor #SciFiRom


Once I got everything set up for my show, and put on a long record to start off my three-hour show, I hurried back to the snack room to see if I could find milk in the fridge for my starving kittens. To my surprise, Jed is feeding my kittens milk from a saucer on the table. There were a couple of the kittens that wanted to explore rather than eat. Jaz, Jed’s fabulous shepherd, kept nudging them away from the table’s edge to prevent them from falling off the table. Jed had a weird sense of humor. “I tried to feed them to Jaz, but the damn dog won’t eat them…too scrawny.” I kissed his dog, Jaz, on the top of its head and ran back to work before my song ended. I really liked Jed. I thought his dry and often inappropriate sense of humor was funny. By the time my show ended three hours later, the kittens were back in my box, which was now lined with someone’s sweater. All the kittens were sound asleep with Jaz sleeping beside the box. I interrogated Jed about where he got the sweater. He just shrugged his shoulders. When I pestered him further, he admitted it had been in the closet for several years. Then he said Jaz had eaten one or two of the kittens, no doubt to distract me from the sweater. Since I had already had done a headcount and knew they were all there, I just petted Jaz. I have no idea what happened to the first story I wrote where Jed and I give into our feelings. (Something that never happened in reality) All that’s left of the first story is a paragraph in Public Secrets where my heroine shares a bit about her past with the FBI agent.
An Excerpt from Public Secrets
Luke sighed. “How old were you?”“Nineteen.”“Were you having an affair?” Luke asked. He knew the answer, for he was very familiar with her background. But he was curious how honest she planned to be.She shook her head. “It’s ironic. Angie had been accusing Jed of sleeping with me for months. Her accusations had practically driven him into my arms. The reason I didn’t go home that night, the reason Billy killed her instead of me, was because I was with Jed for our first and only time. That infidelity saved my life but almost cost me my sanity.”Luke frowned. He was uncertain whether she had spoken the truth, but unable to prove it a lie. The file suggested the affair had been going on for months, based entirely on second-hand speculation. However, the only night the investigator could actually verify the two had stayed in a hotel room together was the night of the murder. “The reporters were horrible, stalking me day and night. I couldn’t stand it. I quit the station and moved to a new town, changed my name to Carla Simon and hid in my house, too afraid to go out in case I might be recognized.”

Public SecretsBook 1 of the AI Sci-Rom SeriesBy Liza O’Connor
BlurbCarla Simon is a best-selling novelist besieged by death threats and lawsuits because her stories keep turning out to be true. She is considered an extraordinary researcher, uncovering facts unknown by field experts. The truth is far simpler and more disturbing. Carla has a software program that “fixes” her mistakes and rewrites her novels so they are error-proof both in presentation and in content. The result is beautifully written and completely accurate stories about real people and events. Some of those people want her silenced forever. When a woman, mistaken for Carla, turns up dead in New Zealand, she must face the hard truth about her program. But first she has to survive the assassin who has never failed to deliver on a contract.
