    Short Circuit Time
    by Diane Saxon 
    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces
    the story.

    About the Author

    Diane Saxon lives in the Shropshire countryside with her tall,
    dark, handsome husband, two gorgeous daughters, a Dalmatian, one-eyed kitten, ginger
    cat, four chickens and a new black Labrador puppy called Beau, whose name has been
    borrowed for her hero in For Heaven’s Cakes.
    After working for years in a demanding job, on-call and travelling
    great distances, Diane gave it all up when her husband said “follow that dream”.
    Having been hidden all too long, her characters have burst forth
    demanding plot lines of their own and she’s found the more she lets them, the more
    they’re inclined to run wild.

    Interview with Diane Saxon

    Why did you write this
    book?
    Because I was goaded into it by two other wonderful authors.
    Allyson Lindt and Eva Lefoy. You see, we all originally wrote different genres,
    mine is normally contemporary with a cowboy, so we thought we would spread our wings
    and venture into something we hadn’t tried before (except Eva, she was the sci-fi
    guru)
    Now, having been brought up watching Star Trek and Dr Who, reading
    dystopian novels from a young age (starting with Z for Zachariah when I was about
    twelve) I was keen to try my hand.
    So this was it, a Challenge. This is how is worked:
    Three authors
    Three months
    One blog post
    each every three weeks
    One challenge
    – A 15,000 word short story
    It never turned
    out that short.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I’m fickle. Romance definitely. Sub-genres, contemporary, historical,
    fantasy, thrillers.
    Who is your favorite character
    from fiction (not including your own)?
    I have many, so I would probably answer this question differently
    each time. Today, it’s Tim, by Colleen McCullough, one of the most beautifully written
    characters. I read the book long before I saw the film and I loved both.
    What are you working on
    at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’ve just subbed a paranormal romance so I’m hoping to have news
    on that in the coming weeks.
    However, I have returned to contemporary writing at the moment
    for the second book in my Disarmed and Dangerous Series. I’m pulling it all together
    right now with the hopes of subbing it by the end January.
    Please tell us about your
    latest book.
    In the year 2086, Zaphira is alone,
    the last survivor of biological warfare on Earth. Before he died, her scientist
    father promised other survivors would come. Nobody has. So when a horribly mangled
    android shows up claiming to be her father’s assistant, Aiden, who has been sent
    through time to rescue her, she’s both frightened and astounded.
    The last time she’d seen Aiden, she’d
    been sixteen, head-over-heels in love with him and had literally thrown herself
    at him, leaving her devastated by his rejection and him running for the hills. The
    following day, she’d been told of his death.
    Eight years later he’s miraculously
    back, this time asking for her help. Without it, he won’t survive. But can she really
    put a dead man back together with tweezers?
    For Aiden, everything has changed.
    There are no other humans, no government, and time travel has left his new android
    body unexpectedly weak and suffering from inexplicable genetic changes in eye and
    hair color, brought about by his molecular shake-up. Unbelievably, the scientist
    who sent him is dead, and he must rely on the scientist’s daughter to help him.
    A woman who he’s not so sure has his best interests at heart.
    The last time he’d seen her, Zaphira
    had been a sixteen year old with a dangerous crush on him and he’d been rocked by
    the turmoil of his own feelings. Now she’s twenty four and literally holds his survival
    in her hands. Too bad everything he does and says seems to annoy her.
    Trusting her might be his undoing.
    But he is left with no choice.
    For Zaphira, getting used to the transformation
    of old Aiden to android Aiden requires a large mental leap. But when android Aiden
    starts to rebuild his human form to a new and improved standard, things start to
    get tricky.
