Thanks for having me, Jessica!
My scifi romance series Diaspora Worlds is set in a far future where interplanetary travel is common. In my timeline, Earth first settled the Solar System, then discovered jumpstreams and moved out. They found a number of planets with Earth-like flora and fauna and came to learn that many were Seeded in ancient times by planet formers.
For a writer, it is to fun move around different worlds. I thought I would share about different worlds in my books.
HER CYBORG AWAKES
Sirn’s Jewel, a lovely Terra-formed planet. The beach my couple hides on is gorgeous and unspoiled.
The rest of my couple’s time is spent in space on space ships and hubs! But they both have homeworlds–Sabralia is from an agricultural world called Coulon, and Kaistrel is from New Prague, an industrial, ship building world that was not Terra-formed.
ALIEN BLOOD
This book takes place on a Terra-formed planet claimed by the Tech worlds for colonization. Eventually it is named Farradae. I have another book planned for this planet, Lorl’s story. In the book my couple live on a sunny grassland of rolling hills, near a river. Later they move to a not-so-nice humid, buggy forest, and finally land in a beach-side town, with houses built on a hillside overlooking the sea.
While my couple spends most of the book on Farradae, Gema was born on an agricultural world but ended up on Toph, a Puregen tech world, and Kellac comes from New Prague.
STARWOMAN’S SANCTUARY
This book takes place in a space station, on an old luxury cruise ship and on a Liveship. Eventually my couple get to New Prague, Kyler’s homeworld. Skyleen was originally from Juneau Colony on Mars.
My next book in the series, NEON ORCHID, takes place on New Prague, in the alien rainforest on a southern continent. I’m having some fun studying exotic plants and rainforests.
Future books…I return to Farradae, and return to the liveship. One book takes place on a small spaceship…
After that…well, something will look fascinating and I’ll go there!
