    Author Kayelle Allen

    In the android business, the best of the best are Human
    Perfect.
    In this science fiction short story by Kayelle Allen, for as
    long as she can remember, Christa has hated androids. The texture of plastiflesh
    skin and the non-smell of the animate machines jars her senses. Don’t even get her
    started on robots, or worse — the andys that look human. Her job as a corporate
    spy for the android maker Innersoul puts her in touch with the creatures every day,
    but also lets her judge them. When she runs into Humancopy Progress Rep Tom Karellys,
    she can’t believe her luck. Using a cover identity, Christa shares dinner with him,
    and the two discuss andys. It soon becomes apparent Tom is not what he seems, and
    Christa must decide whether he’s a trustworthy human, a Human Perfect android,
    or something she never, ever considered.

    The featured book is Bringer of Chaos: the Origin of Pietas by
    Kayelle Allen, owner of the Romance Lives Forever blog. 

    Publisher: Romance Lives Forever Books
    Heat level: PG13
    Genre: YA (older young adult), action adventure, science fiction, space opera, military
    science fiction, space marine, genetic engineering
    Two enemy warriors: one human, one immortal. Different in belief, alike in spirit,
    marooned together on an alien world.
    Imprisoned and in isolation over a year without food or water,
    the immortal Pietas survives. Though broken in body, his intellect and will are
    intact, thanks to Six, the special ops warrior who captured him, but kept him sane.
    The warrior had no hand in his deprivation and, like Pietas, was betrayed by his
    own kind. When Pietas is abandoned on an alien world with nothing but his honor–and
    Six–he must find and rejoin other immortal exiles. After centuries of war, Pietas
    detests humans and kills them on sight, but he is too damaged to continue on his
    own. Though he despises needing help, he allows Six to nurture and restore him to
    full strength, and then accompany him. As they cross the planet together on foot,
    the immortal begins to wonder if he has found his first human friend, or if Six
    is loyal only because Pietas could keep the others from tearing him to shreds. This
    human will either be his closest living friend, or the one whose betrayal will trigger
    all-out vengeance by the most powerful immortal ever born.
    Immortal. Warrior. Outcasts. Traitors took everything. Except
    their honor.

    humans), and who among the Chosen is not to be trusted.
    The role playing game of Peril is spelled out, with
    downloads for character sheets and rules. Includes a who’s who among the
    immortals, and stats of the players, with never before revealed secrets about
    Luc Saint-Cyr, Pietas, and others.

    Scifi Archaeology: Trailing Kaiwulf #scifi #RLFblog

    Trailing Kaiwulf 
    Set in the far future, Trailing Kaiwulf combines science fiction with romantic elements, and the story of an archaeologist studying mankind’s exploration of the galaxy.

    About the Book

    Title Trailing Kaiwulf
    Genre Science Fiction with Romantic Elements
    Author Kayelle Allen
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

    About the Story

    Travel to a godforsaken planet on the
    outskirts of space. Check. Hold intrusive military types at bay. Check. Find an
    invisible man in a different dimension. Check. Finish out the vacation TRAIL yanked
    you back from to do it? Easier said than done.
    Ordered back from their first vacation
    in ages, Jee and Dane get handed a top priority mission. The pay is better than
    any they’ve earned before as agents for the Trace, Rescue, and Identification League.
    With this much money, they might not need jobs. They’re the best there is, and the
    item, person, or secret hasn’t been invented that these two can’t recover.
    But locating this quarry might be a
    bit past even their considerable skills. After all, how do you find an invisible
    man in another dimension? And who, exactly, is footing a bill this steep? Certainly
    not the archaeologist in charge. The military wants to get involved, but they have
    no monetary stake either. Which prompts the question of who — or what — is behind
    the request to trail Kaiwulf.

    Where This Is

    This story is set in the same universe
    as other books I’ve written, including Surrender Love, Wulf, Alitus, Jawk, Forbid
    My Heart, For Women Only, and At the Mercy of Her Pleasure. Those books take place
    in the Tarthian Empire. Trailing Kaiwulf happens in the Colonies of Man, which is
    beyond those borders. The planet Ust was thought to be uninhabited. Overrun by vegetation
    and constantly wet from rain, the joke is that was called Rust, but the R rusted
    and fell off. In truth, it is one of the farthest planets on the outskirts of the
    colonies, and home to only a few dozen humans.

    Why the Drama

    What makes this world the center of
    attention is a set of “gates” — arches like others found on various planets
    throughout this part of space. The gates on Ust, however, are functional and used
    by the inhabitants. Which makes them the archaeological find of the century.
    Gates of Life 
    Picture the Saint Louis Arch on a smaller
    scale, and then imagine two of them next to each other. Thicker, squatter, but with
    arcane markings etched deeply into their surfaces. In this art by Jamin Allen, you
    can see the relative size (note the human figure at the bottom left). Detiza is
    in the Tarthian Empire, and is a world completely overgrown by massive plant life.
    Archaeologists have speculated about this world’s history for centuries. No human
    life exists here, although it must have, judging by the gates. On Ust, the humans
    have an annual ritual. The priestess inserts a “holy instrument” (a key)
    into a slot, and then all the villagers pass through the gates in single file, with
    the youngest being carried through. For the past ten years, though, the ritual has
    been abandoned, because Kaiwulf stole the key. When the archaeologist who discovers
    the site hears the story, and then runs into him (literally) in a cave, she realizes Kaiwulf is able to fade out of this dimension and into another one. She hires
    TRAIL to find him and bring him back. But how do you find an invisible man in another dimension?

    Empire Valley Series

    A book series by author Ellie Collins.
    After the government is forced to accept the existence of supernatural
    creatures, they are rounded up, imprisoned and shipped off to an island to live

    again. As seemingly random acts of violence break out across the island, the seeds
    of rebellion begin to take root.
    Sophia Desai, a Shapeshifter, is an officer on the island, processing
    new arrivals and pushing papers. When she begins the investigation of a strange
    murder, she begins to see the true dark side of their home, and of the people who
