Hi friends! Please forgive a bit of me talk today. I’m very excited to have my first “author” interview coming out today at The Galaxy Express.  It’s awesome that it’s happening at a place I respect so much. Heather has done tremendous things over there. If you aren’t already following her, well, why the heck not? 😉

The reason for the interview is also pretty awesome—I’m celebrating my first SFR book release, coming April 17. The book is called Deadly Lover and in addition to being SFR it’s a mix of crime fiction and character journey.  It’s currently up for .99 pre-order at amazon and kobo and will be everywhere by the release date. If you like this sort of story, be sure to take advantage of the preorder price, it will go back to list price the day after release. I wanted all of you to have a chance to give it a try at a super low-cost.  You can also get a two chapter preview of Deadly Lover in the 6^th issue of the SciFi Romance Quarterly. It’s out now! and it’s a great issue with tons of reviews, release announcements, great articles and even original fiction. I highly recommend it!

In the future, love can get you killed.

Security contractor Lily Rowan is recovering from a training mission gone horrifically wrong. She’s returned to the city she grew up in to face her nightmares. Living alongside the Ormney—genetically altered refugees who’ve settled in The Zone—is a daily reminder of the Ormney trainee who nearly took her life.

Lily couldn’t have known coming home would drop her straight into a madman’s deadly game. Someone is drugging Ormney men and using them to reenact the attack Lily barely survived. To stop the killing spree and put her own demons behind her, Lily must overcome her fear and work with Jolaj, a tempting refugee Law Keeper with dangerous secrets and hidden motives of his own.

With the fragile peace between their people on the line, Lily and Jolaj must stop the horrific crimes before their growing attraction makes them the killer’s next targets.

I also want to share that I have a very different flavor of SFR coming out in May. It’s Stealing Mercury, the first book in the Arena Dogs series. This sexy space adventure twice the heroes of your ordinary adventure.

Here is the cover and a bit more about the story:

In Stealing Mercury, Samantha Devlin is hired to pilot a courier ship, when she discovers her cargo is actually three Arena Dogs condemned to death for daring to fight for their freedom. Mercury, their leader, and Lo, his emotionally broken arena-brother, challenge all her notions of honor, loyalty, and love as she discovers just how much she will risk to keep them…and herself alive.

I want to reassure you that Smart Girls won’t turn into the Charlee Channel just because I’ve started publishing my SFR. In fact, if you want to keep up with what I’m doing writing-wise, I encourage you to join my mailing List over on my author website.  This blog will continue to be about all things geeky, SFR, PNR, and SciFi!

Thanks for indulging me. Happy reading!
