    Stranded with the Cyborg

    Cara Bristol
    Ten years ago Penelope Isabella Aaron had been a pain in Brock Mann’s you-know-what. Much has changed in a decade: “PIA” as he code-named her, has grown up and is about to attend her first Alliance of Planets summit conference, and Brock has been transformed into a cyborg after a near-fatal attack. Now a secret agent with Cyber Operations, a covert paramilitary organization, Brock gets called in, not when the going gets tough, but when the going gets impossible. So when he’s unexpectedly assigned to escort Penelope to the summit meeting, he balks at babysitting a prissy ambassador. But after a terrorist bombing, a crash landing on a hostile planet, and a growing attraction to his protectee, Operation: PIA may become his most impossible assignment yet.

    Preferring solitude to intimacy, Mason Tucker’s relatives make it difficult to escape social gatherings and small talk. When Emma’s mother marries into his family, he finds himself reluctantly drawn to the beautiful woman who is his complete opposite. But after helping her through a terrible discovery, Emma begins to break down some of Mason’s communication barriers and insecurities.
    When Emma asks for his assistance in tracking down a secret, Mason tags along in order to keep her safe. Unfortunately, not everyone has Emma’s safety in mind when danger waits for the perfect opportunity to strike.

    Pietas – Bringer of Chaos: Forged in Fire by Kayelle Allen #RLFblog #SciFi

    Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book and Pietas.

    Pietas: Forged in Fire

    Pietas - Bringer of Chaos: Forged in Fire by Kayelle Allen @kayelleallen  #RLFblog #SciFiWhen the immortal Pietas is marooned on a barren world with no food and few survival tools, he knows it could be worse. He could be alone. But that’s the problem. He’s not.

    Half a million of his people sleep in cryostasis, trapped inside their pods and it’s up to Pietas to save them. He can’t release one at a time. It’s all or nothing. He’s facing over five hundred thousand hungry, thirsty, homeless, immortals all looking to him for answers.

    It’s not all bad. The beautiful telepathic warrior he’s loved for lifetimes is at his side. He’s bonded with a sentient panther. He hates humans but the one dumped on this planet with him has become a trusted friend.

    But before Pietas can build shelter, figure out how to grow food, or set up a government, he must take back command from a ruthless enemy he’s fought for centuries. His brutal, merciless father.

    Immortals may heal, but a wound of the heart lasts forever…

    Changing Faces: a Transgender SciFi @BarbCaffrey #RLFblog #LGBT #SciFi Today’s featured book is Changing Faces, a science fiction romance novel by Barb Caffrey.

    Allen and Elaine are graduate students in Nebraska, and love each other very much. Their life should be idyllic, but Elaine’s past includes rape, neglect, and abuse from those who should’ve loved her–but didn’t, because from childhood, Elaine identified as transgender.

    When Elaine tells Allen right before Christmas, he doesn’t know what to do. He loves Elaine, loves her soul, has heard about transgender people before, but didn’t think Elaine was one of them–she looks and acts like anyone else. Now, she wants to become a man and is going to leave.

    He prays for divine intervention, and says he’ll do anything, just please don’t separate him from Elaine…and gets it.

    Now, he’s in Elaine’s body. And she’s in his. They’ll get a second chance at love.

    Why? Because once you find your soulmate, the universe will do almost anything to keep you together–even change your faces.

  • Quick and Fun,  Science Fiction Romance

    #NewRelease Bringer of Chaos: Forged in Fire by Kayelle Allen #RLFblog #SciFi

    I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of Romance Lives Forever and today, it’s my turn to be in the hot seat. I’m ending a 20-day book tour with Crystal Reviews and it’s been a blast! At the end of this post, there will be a chance to help share my Thunderclap to announce the release of the book. Let’s jump in for a Quick and Fun answer session.

    QUICK

    Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?
    Most of my books are science fiction, but I also write science fiction romance and contemporary romance. I have one non-fiction book, about how to write a series.
    How do you come up with ideas?
    I can’t keep from coming up with ideas. They float through the air and stick to me. I’ve learned to look at everything with the eye of a storyteller.
    What is the single most important part of writing for you?
    I love world building. Creating a new place or culture and then fine tuning it is what makes me get up in the morning. Second most important is when I get a story across and readers react. That’s the reason I keep going!
    When did you write your first book?
    I was about 18. The original manuscript will never see the light of day, but it has launched an entire universe of stories.

    FUN

    Leather or lace? I’m more spandex. LOL
    Black or red? Red.
    Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Cotton!
    Ocean or mountains? Mountains with an ocean view
    City life or country life? Country, close to the city
    Party life or evening at home? Evening at home
    Dogs or cats? Both!

     

    Tell us about Bringer of Chaos: Forged in Fire

    What if you were a soldier marooned on an undeveloped planet?
    What if you had no food and few survival tools? What if you’d been genetically engineered? No matter how agonizing the wound, you’d survive. No matter how you died, you’d come back.
    It could be worse. You could be here alone. But that’s the problem. You’re not.
    On one hand, there’s a tribe of sentient panthers who protect you. Although you hate humans, the one who was dumped on this planet with you has become a trusted friend. The beautiful telepathic warrior you’ve loved since forever is at your side.
    On the other hand, half a million people who depend on you are trapped inside stasis pods, waiting for you to save them. It wouldn’t be so bad if you could wake up a few at a time. But the traitors who abandoned you and your followers set the timers to release all half million.
    At the same time.
    You’re facing an ecological disaster and over five hundred thousand hungry, thirsty, homeless immortals.
    Worse still, before you can build shelter, figure out how to grow food, or set up a government, you must take back command from a ruthless enemy you’ve fought for centuries.
    Your brutal, merciless father.
    Talk about being forged in fire…
    Immortals may heal, but a wound of the heart lasts forever.

    Bringer of Chaos: Forged in Fire has no profanity or explicit content, but lots of angst, a little humor, some sweet romance, and a ton of betrayal with plenty of vengeance. Oh, and let’s not forget–one ginormous black “kitty.”

  • Book Release,  Science Fiction Romance

    Europa by Aurora Springer @AuroraSpringer #RLFblog #SciFi

    Welcome Aurora Springer author of Europa, a new SciFi Romance.

    Why did you write this book?
    I enjoy creating new worlds. This story began when I envisioned the scene where the exhausted heroine sees the hero’s face under a thin sheet of ice. She will die if he does not save her. Then, I had to imagine life on the “space” station on Jupiter’s moon, Europa, and introduce several alien species.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I prefer to read science fiction and fantasy stories. Adventures combined with a romance are great.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I don’t have a single favorite character, although I prefer a specific type of character. My favorite characters can be illustrated by examples in Andre Norton’s books. Gillan in Year of the Unicorn and Hosteen Storm in the Beast Master stories are loners, despised or abused for their differences. Yet, their special abilities will help them overcome disaster and achieve a better life.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    Europa is the first book in a planned new series, Taxyon Space. I am writing the second book, which follows a few days after the end of Europa. This series is intended to have adventures on different planets, or rather celestial objects, since Europa is a moon.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    I hope to publish Rishalt, Book 2 of Taxyon Space, early in 2018. Then, I plan to write book 5 in my series, Grand Masters’ Galaxy. Afterward, I’ll poll my readers for their preferred series to extend, or pick an idea from my list.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Genre Science Fiction Adventure and Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    What alien creatures lurk under the icy surface of Europa?
    Dr. Nikki Bell’s plan to discover intelligent life hits a rocky start when her spaceship crashes on the icy surface of Europa. Seconds before she blacks out, she spies a man’s face in the water beneath the ice. When she wakes on the submarine Station, nobody believes her story. Convinced the mysterious stranger saved her life, Nikki searches for him while she explores the ocean and its alien inhabitants.
    Kiron Arqin Ramis chose exile as a Watcher on a remote outpost to redeem his family’s honor. He never expected to find an attractive Earther woman close to death. He violates the prime policy by rescuing her. Despite suffering the penalty, he strives to warn her about his hostile leaders.
    Nikki’s unexpected meeting with Kiron triggers a chain of disasters in Europa’s perilous oceans. Can the daredevil scientist and scarred Watcher forge a new alliance despite their people’s antagonism?
