Is It True: Love in a New World by Jessica E Subject @jsubject #RLFblog #NewAdult #boxset
Play Is It True with today’s guest Jessica E Subject, author of Love in a New World, a New Adult Romance box set. This is a game in which authors answer yes and no questions. They can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.First, tell us about your book.
An alien prince, a farm girl, two university students from a small town, and more are all ready to begin their lives as adults. They have everything planned out. But when drastic events crush their dreams, they must carve a new path. And they just might find unexpected love along the way.
Includes the New Adult Romances Beyond Reach, Accidental Romance, It Took a Zombie Apocalypse, Hey Santa, and bonus story Alien Kisses at Midnight.
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Genre: New Adult Romance, mostly Sci-Fi, but also some Contemporary
Now, tell us Yes or No for each answer below. Feel free to explain any (or none) of your answers.Is it true:
this is your first book?
No. I have twenty-nine titles published under my name and a pen name I used to use. Love in a New World is a collection of four of my published stories with a bonus story.
this book is part of a series?
No. While all the books included are New Adult Romance, none of them are connected except for the bonus story.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
No. When I first started writing, I used to lose sleep with all the ideas in my head. Now, by the time my head hits the pillow, I’m zonked.
you did research for this book?
For the collection, I didn’t have to do any research as the stories were already written. But, I did do quite a bit research for some of these stories. With Accidental Romance, I still have a binder full of information about dairy farms, farm equipment, farming accidents, and amputations.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
Yes, in that some characters are not from Earth, but other planets in three of the stories. Others might be zombies or cows, but those aren’t the main characters.
this book has more than one genre?
Yes. I mostly write Sci-Fi Romance, which combines those two genres. This box set specifically contains alien romances, a contemporary western romance, and a zombie apocalypse romance. All of them are New Adult, in that the hero and heroine are in their early twenties.
you speak more than one language?
Yes and no. I speak English. I can speak a bit of French, though I’ve forgotten a lot of what I learned in school. And with my daughter being a huge K-pop fan, I’ve learned a couple Korean phrases.
you grew up where you live now?
Yes. Same city, different house.
you love to read?
Yes. I have for as long as I can remember.
you are never late?
Yes. At least I try. I’m usually super early, unless my children are being unusually slow.
you love pizza?
Yes. Thin whole wheat crust with chicken, spinach, and goat cheese. Though, pepperoni or veggie pizza is great, too.
you love sushi?
No.
you have a pet?
Yes. I have Great Pyrenees / Retriever cross. She’s big and hairy. I’ve had many other pets throughout my life, but she’s big enough, we don’t need another.
Where can we find your book online?

Meet Katrina from Jager @jsubject #RLFblog #scifi #romance
Welcome Katrina from Jager, a new scifi adventure romance.Jager Galactic Defenders #2
Genre SciFi Adventure RomanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RJager’s new squad of Defenders has completed training, but the spoiled princess who has grated on his nerves since her first day of training is called back to Hemera for a yearly celebration. When Princess Katrina doesn’t show up, Jager must find her and drag her home, where he wishes she would stay.Katrina is a Defender, not a princess. And there is no way she wants to return to a planet she hates for some stupid ceremony. Not when she could be out killing Erebus with her squad.But when a new enemy threatens both their lives, they must work together to survive.Introducing Katrina
Age: 20 Earth yearsGender: FemaleBirthplace: Earth, though I was conceived on my mother’s home planet, HemeraProfession: I’m a Galactic Defender, not a Princess.Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): My mother is Hemera and my father is Kalaren.Please provide a physical description of yourself.
I can fit in on Earth better than most other Defenders. I have light brown skin with long, dark hair, and dark brown eyes. I’m fit. I need to be to bring down the Erebus. They’re not exactly lightweights, and I prefer hand-to-hand combat rather than the plazers and bows the other Defenders use. I don’t have an eyebrow ridge like my dad, but I do have the ‘V’ of freckles across my shoulders and down my back like my mom.Please tell us a little about yourself.
I was born and raised on Earth. A couple years ago, my home was attacked by the Erebus. It was after a Galactic Defender arrived to help us
that I found out the man who I believed to be my father wasn’t my dad, and that I wasn’t Terran. Turns out the Defender who arrived on Earth is my dad, my mom was the long lost princess of Hemera, and I haven’t been on Earth since that day. But, I’m itching to go back. I know I can’t stay there, but I just want to see what’s changed, how my friends are doing.Who is the significant other in your life?
I don’t have a significant other, like a boyfriend. Jeff Bennett and I almost had a thing on Earth, but I had to leave the planet, and didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. My squad leader, Jager, is hot, but we don’t exactly get along. And then I have Jace, my best friend. He’s the only Defender who has my back, so we spend a lot of time together. But, he’s nothing more than a friend.How do you dress?
I wear my blue Defender uniform. Though, sometimes when I’m training on my own, I’ll wear a pair of leggings and a sports bra. If I lived with my parents on Hemera, I’d have to wear their royal garb. While the lehengacholi I wore for my mother’s coronation was beautiful, it’s not s something I’d want to wear all the time.Please tell us about your education.
I graduated from high school on Earth, though I didn’t make the ceremony. I was supposed to go to university that fall, but wasn’t on the planet to do so. While the Hemera council taught me a bit about Hemera culture, I’ve learned a lot about the races belonging to the Galactic Alliance as a Defender. I’ve also learned how to bring down an Erebus by hand. Not stuff I could have learned on Earth.What kinds of things do you always carry (in pockets or purse)?
I don’t have pockets or a purse—I have no need for them—but I carry my zuranium blade in a special pouch in my boot. It goes with me
everywhere I go, because I never know when I’ll meet up with an Erebus that needs to be taken out.What is your family like?
They’re great people, really, just a tad bit overprotective.  My mom is now the Queen of Hemera. She’s wonderful, and rules far differently than her father and brother did. The commoners are no longer starving and dressed in rags. Everyone works together for the good of the planet. And with the dome the Alliance installed for her, the planet no longer had to worry about an Erebus attack. My dad is a legend among the Defenders. I hope I can be half as good as he was. He was leader of Echo squad for many Galactic years, and killed more Erebus than I can ever imagine. Then there’s my sister Gwenodyn. She’s not really my sister, but my parents are raising her after the last Erebus attack on Hemera when her mother was killed. She’s a sweetheart, but not when she uses her Mingot mind-reading abilities to get her own way.When (if) you lie or are upset, what gives you away?
I scratch my arms. It’s a habit I wish I didn’t have, as it totally gives me away when I’m lying.What would you like to tell your writer?
It would have been nice if you’d given me more than one friend. Though, I wouldn’t trade Jace for the universe. And why is this book
called Jager when it’s supposed to be my story?Buy Jager

tanned skin (natural from his genetics), and is muscular.Who is the significant
other in your character’s life?Before and after Ava, there was no one. In Another Night, Another
Planet, he reunites with her.Does he scrape by, live
comfortably, live extravagantly?Nate has money to spend. Unfortunately, he is banned from most
planets due to his ancestry. Therefore, he appears to scrape by, saving money for
when he is ready to end his business.What special skills does
your character rely on?He relies on his speed and ability to coerce others.What does he have a knack
for doing?He has a knack for getting himself into trouble. Sometimes he
uses words to sweet talk others, and other times he aggravates them.If someone from your character’s
past showed up, who would he most want it to be, and why? OR who would he most NOT
want it to be, and why?He would really love to meet his parents, but they died long
ago. Therefore, he’d want to find the woman he left behind so many years ago.What past event causes

those he loved, and banned from ever returning to their planet.What is your character’s
biggest need at the beginning of the story?He needs to find his ship to escape the Otarians he offended.What are your hero’s biggest

to hurt him the most. Nate fears Wyn finding love or even a better opportunity and
leaving him all alone.About Your Writer: Questions for your character to answer about you.
Why do you think your
writer chose to write about you?Because she couldn’t get me out of her head. I just wouldn’t
leave her alone until she told my story. And let me tell you, I had to fight off
a bunch of other characters as well.What do you wish your
writer had not told others about you?Um, that would be what happens after intercourse. I don’t mean
for it to happen, but I can’t help it. It’s part of my genetics.Was there anything your
writer discovered about you that was a surprise to one or both of you?I didn’t realize how much I’d missed Ava until I saw her again.When your writer is writing
about you, what do you think makes your writer the most happy? What makes your writer
the most sad?For some reason, she really enjoyed writing the scene where I’m
being chased by the Otarians. And what made her the most sad affected me the same
way, when I woke up and found Ava gone.Why do you think your
writer loves to write?It’s her way to escape to her own little world rather than pulling
her hair out. She doesn’t smoke, drink, or even have a coffee addiction, so she
needs to de-stress somehow.What other character from
your book do you think your writer should write a book about? Care to tell us why?Well, Wyn and Michelle got their happily-ever-after, even though
their story wasn’t told. But, I’m curious about Kalara and Jacobus’ relationship.
I mean, what couple gives erotic massages to others? But, then again, we were on
Elatia, the pleasure planet.Is there anything you’d
like to say to your writer?Thank you for giving me Ava back.Author Bio
