*Rated Mature 18+* Science Fiction/Romance/Adventure



Dr. Cass Baros is haunted by dreams of an alien world...

...and will do anything to find it.

Relentlessly, she works her science team—along with her co-project leader and fiancé, Dr. Julian Saunders—in order to create the first lab-contained wormhole. Unfortunately, their boss, Dr. Janson, has a secret agenda. He adds a military contingent, which expands their six person team to twelve and increases tensions between the members. Egos will clash, agendas will cross, and their worlds will be undone as they travel through the wormhole.

The team, unable to return home and facing numerous dangers—burning suns, cannibalistic monsters, conflicting schemes—is plunged into an adventure beyond their control. They struggle to unravel millennia old secrets in an alien world where nothing is what it seems. While Captain Lewis' leadership strengthens, Cass deals with her possible destiny, and Jeamon the brajj questions his lifelong beliefs and loyalties.

Cass and her team wrestle with her royal status to the brajj, while being tossed between love and betrayal, genius and madness, and a jealousy frightening enough to cause the death of worlds.


Aliens, zombies, romance, some time slipping and a wormhole all wrapped up in a mystery! (Serious sci-fi with a mature romance-this is not a fluffy bunny)

Hi Jacqueline,
If there's still a space left I would be interested in reading and reviewing. I'm not sure what a smashbox coupon is. I'm an American expat living in Munich, Germany, so hopefully it's not limited to U.S.-based readers.
Thanks,

[Jacqueline]

Morning, Gale!
Actually you just grabbed the last spot. I was updating everything this morning and your comment reminded me to come here. So that's nice!

[Isis]

Why do I always get to see these just after the last spot is taken?? Woe is me...

OK - that really is so far from the truth, but I needed a minor self-pity party for just missing it. . . *sigh*

I'll have to save my pennies :-)

[Jacqueline]

Well, this has been listed for a while, but sometimes the last rush is the best. I'll make an except for you, Isis. :o)

[Jacqueline]

Due to further interest, I've decided to keep this thread open to 20 copies, that leaves 9 more spaces available! Overall rating is averaging 4.22 with mostly 4 and 5 stars from my random Goodreads readers/reviewers! Thank you so much for you interest and great response!

For those who've read it, I'm also currently working on a prequel short story featuring Captain Lewis (everyone's favorite character), which I will be uploading in the near future on all e-retailers for free. Details to follow!

[Jacqueline]

Blondie, Thanks! Send you an email.

[Jacqueline]

OMG! I hit #56 in the paid time travel genre for Dreams of the Queen!!!!!!!!!!! This is the first time I've ever hit the top 100 in any of the sub-genres! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009XTVGNE

[Jacqueline]

Continued for 20 spots with 8 remaining!

[Leiah]

WOOOO hoo for you!!!!

[Jacqueline]

Thanks, Leiah! It's dropped back down now (much slower) but it has been an exciting week! You know, this gives me more assurances than anything else that I'm on the right path for my writing future since it'll be a year this Nov since I started self publishing. But I've been writing for almost 30 years.

[J.R.]

Still places available? If so count me in! A mobi file would be perfect - ludovica@live.co.uk
And congratulations on reaching #56, that's quite an achievement!

[Jacqueline]

Thank you so much, Blondie! Given the landmine that is social media and self publishing, I agree. It's been a great week, but I'm not about to rest on my laurels. I'm already finishing up a prequel short story to Dreams of the Queen featuring everyone's favorite character Capt. Lewis. It'll be a free download and I'm shooting for an early Sept release date. More info to follow!



Louise, Thank you too! I'll be sending you an email shortly!

Thank you and you're welcome!

As for energy... lol! Ask any serious writer or artist (I've been writing fiction since I was 15, 43 now) and they'll tell you that it's not really an option to write. It's more of a compulsion. There are days when I'm physically done in, I have a headache and I just want to cry myself to sleep, but my brain is screaming at me to write!!!! I have so many stories in my head. You should see my works-in-progress files.

That's why a serious writer has to learn how to balance their entire life. I could easily write all day, every day, but then I would be a very unhealthy person.

Asimov said it best: "If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster."

[Jacqueline]

OH yes! I get quite a few stories from my dreams too. For me it's usually like watching a movie that I don't get to see the end, so I have to write it.

[Jacqueline]

Excellent! That's exactly what a writer hopes for!

[Jacqueline]

Currently, I have the prequel short story posted for R4R prior to publication on 8/31. Those interested please click on the link below to be taken to the appropriate thread.

Thanks! J

Wow, mass congratulations on that! If you hadn't seen, my review is up on Goodreads and my blog (and thus Twitter too) and of course on Amazon as well.

[Jacqueline]

Thanks, Louise! I did see it and liked it. But I hesitant to contact reviewers afterwards. Some are very open to conversation, some don't like it at all, otherwise I would've thanked you personally. It's weird holding myself back from saying thank you to each and every reviewer since I was raised to be polite, but some people feel like 'big brother' is watching.

But thank you very much! Positive reviews actually do help get books onto the top 100 lists. Overall book ranking is sales only, but the more realistic and honest reviews a books has, and if it's a good book then the more sales will generally follow.

I've really seen a good surge this summer!
