Six Sentence Sunday: Alien Blood

Alien Blood (coming July 6th to Amazon) is the second book in my Diaspora Worlds Series, following Her  Cyborg Awakes.

Meet Kellac, Kaistril's younger brother:

“Are you serious?” Kellac jumped up and the Game Master and swarm turned to him. “You’re giving a crippled girl a challenge like that? Alone? That’s hardly fair. If your plan is to execute us, why don’t you just use a weapon?”

SFFS: A Snippet about Gema, from ALIEN BLOOD

I missed all the great Scifi Fantasy Saturday Snippets last week so am glad this week has been less hectic!

 This week my snippet is from ALIEN BLOOD, the story that follows HER CYBORG AWAKES. It will be available July 6th!

A little thrill of excitement ran through Gema, which she quickly crushed. He doesn’t mean anything about me being with him. Stars, she could be such a fool!

 “Maybe,” she said. “I thought about going back to my homeworld. I probably still have relatives there…”

Where the Wild Pony Takes Me

Lookee a new blog layout! I was in the mood for color, so here we are. Also, my nails are green with multi colored sparkles, way too young for a woman my age. If I get a job interview I will change them to a discreet pinkish tan.



To my surprise, Her Cyborg Awakes has been selling. It went live with the $2.99 price last Wednesday. Since then it has made enough to cover my mortgage. Not that it has to--hubby and I both have day jobs, all is well. But it does surprise me. After 6k free downloads (actually more than that if I count UK) I didn't expect actual sales. It also has five reviews, which I have found hard to get for my other books.


Alien Blood, book two of this series--Diaspora Worlds--is in edits. I decided to self publish it also, so have lined up a cover and editor. I plan to release it on July 6th, before the Kindle world forgets who I am. Two other books in the series have plans and beginning chapters roughed out. And two additional books have initial scenes written.

So I'll go with it.

Six Sentence Sunday -- Her Cyborg Awakes

Six Sentences from my latest release, Her Cyborg Awakes:

Sabralia saw the Strafe on his scanview, coming down from somewhere higher above them. She knew it was a space-based weapon. Qy elevated the ship and headed straight for it.

“What are you doing?” she yelped.

“Trust me. This is how we get off-world undetected.”

Current WIP, Novella/Novel Dilemna, News

I'm over 8k on the novella I'm writing for a submission call. Titled Starpath.

Blurb:

Talia, a grunt tech worker, gets the job of a lifetime when she is hired by Roan, lead singer and business manager of an interstellar mega-star clash band, The Rampage. What she doesn't know is that The Rampage is a money making front for a population of landless, secretive cat shifters, and the job she is going to perform for them takes place on a planet in the midst of a deadly civil war. The job itself is simple data retrieval, on a system she knows well. Getting to the job--that is the issue! That is outside her comfort level. So is Roan.

This is a space opera and, yes, veres into sci-fantasy/mixedgenre/slipstream with my population of cat shifters. But I so love the white tiger shifter clan I wrote in the now unavailable Tiger Juice (paranormal romance). I decided to set the clan in the far far future. They are disgustingly athletic and fit, while Talia spends twelve hours a day in a float chair working a 3-d display, then returns home to her mentally diminished Grandpa. Her life is a dull grind with few things to look forward to.

Had a nice chat with fellow SFR author Kaye Manro about getting busy on something novel length  and the idea is brewing that Starpath has enough meat in it to expand--so I may abandon the whole novella/submission call idea. Thoughts are brewing.

Backlist News-- Have covers(scroll down a few blogs) for three out of contract works. Will be nice to have them for sale again--so weird to look at my Amazon page and not see books!
