sci-fi

Mark your calendars! As of now, Out of Orbit is set to release on July 15th, though it’ll be available for pre-order on July 1st. (Meaning I need to get my butt in gear for scheduling promotions and stuff.) Also, one of my editors and I reworked the blurb to tighten it up and not […]

How awesome is this? Like, seriously? I love this cover sooooo much. I didn’t really have any sort of mental image of what the cover could look like going in, and this is so much better than anything I could have come up with. It’s the perfect blend of “space adventure!” and “people are gonna […]

Well, that happened faster than I expected. A lot faster, actually. Either way, I signed the contract for Out of Orbit, so at least I won’t be jumping out of my seat every time I hear the email alert on my phone. Details about a cover, release date, etc., will be forthcoming, so stay tuned! […]

 It’s blog hop time again! Welcome to my spot along the Smexy Romance Blog Hop and Giveaway! We’re all posting super-steamy excerpts today, along with offering opportunities to win some great books. Elysium has been out for about a year now, and it still remains one of my favorites of all my book-children. To celebrate […]

Progress on Out of Orbit is slow, but steady. I’m not at the point yet where I can say “the end is in sight”, but I’m at the point where being able to say “the end is in sight” is in sight. Or something like that. 😀 Anyhoo, I decided to mix things up and […]

Searching the Skies, my first book, was published four years ago this week. (I started this blog/site a couple months later.) Looking back, I can’t believe how I was stumbling around the e-publishing world in so many aspects. How much I’ve learned since then is arguable. I like to half-joke that back then, I thought […]

Almost a month since my last post? How’d that happen? At least I can report that Out of Orbit is underway. I’m not going to lie and say I have an astronomical word count I can brag about, but it’s coming along. Really. It’s been quite some time since I’ve done serious sci-fi and the […]

It’s that time. My writing fingers are getting itchy and I think I’m ready to start a new project. It’s an exciting moment – opening up MS Word, seeing that beautiful blank page, and going to “Save As”. But am I really ready? I don’t have a formal checklist of tasks I need to complete […]

Today we’ve got a really great guest post and giveaway by Linda Nightingale. She’s here to talk about Japanese lifelike robots and how they relate to her new book, Love for Sale. We all know how much I love my android/cyborg romances, so I’m thrilled to be hosting her here. And! Plus! Also! Linda is […]

Today we’re in for a real special treat! Award-winning author Brian Burt is here to talk about a new sub-genre of sci-fi, “cli-fi” (or, “climate fiction”). Since the first book in his series, Aquarius Rising: In the Tears of God, won the 2014 EPIC eBook Award for Science Fiction, I’m pretty sure he knows his […]
