Hello and welcome to my SFR contribution, a snippet from my novel Passages. Just as in real life, some science fiction machinery never works like you think it ought to, which my hero Quinn discovers in this excerpt: I passed the packed shelves and glanced at the book bindings. Some titles stood out. A few […]
Thanks for stopping by one of Science Fiction Romance Brigade’s weekly peeks into the SFR genre. In this installment from my science fiction romance Passages, the hero Quinn receives a surprise from one of his newly converted guards. I cracked the door. Noise came from below. Palming my knife, I crept down the stairs. A […]
Welcome to my website and my science fiction romance snippet. Several readers commented on my electorgs—thank you!—so I thought I’d give another peek into those electronic bodies. Here’s a piece from Eve’s point of view. “Then you know your way around from here?” Quinn’s voice resonated right behind me, deeper, steadier than before. His heat […]
For my Six Sentence Sundays I shared any snippet that appealed to me. Yet, for SFR Presents, I feel like it has to be sciency. So… In the early chapters of my story Passages, Quinn has forgotten all the apparatus available to an electorg. “No.” I moved back to the map. “And these numbers are […]
I’m here a day early! This week I’ve joined a small but growing weekly post group that’s very much in my corner of the universe—Science Fiction Romance Brigade Presents. I’ve been an *cough* inactive member of the SFR Brigade for a few years, but I do write SFR, a genre mash-up that walks the border […]
Last week I introduced Evard, an electorg who is a secondary character in my science fiction romance Passages. Electorg, or ‘torg for short, is a term of my own making, combining electronic and organic, because these people were offered a second chance at an immortal life by having electronics put into their organic bodies. Back […]
Twenty-one days makes a habit. Though my previous twenty-two posts for Six Sentence Sunday were spread over months, I can’t resist coming back. Still giving excerpts of my award-winning science fiction romance Passages. This time let’s pop into the heroine Eve’s POV to have a look at her electorg run-mate of fifty years, Evard: Few […]
And so we’ve come to the last of our Six Sentence Sundays. But for my novel Passages, the story is just beginning. Quinn, with a little help from bad news, followed by more than a few drinks of Aardness Gold, decides he should follow Evard’s advice and take the plunge with Eve. To Eve, it […]
After my snafu last week of not posting my draft, I won’t make the same mistake – at least that’s my plan tonight. I will have to check on Sunday to make sure! Have I mentioned my novel Passages is a science fiction romance? A bit of a rocky one, at the start. Though Eve […]
Welcome to my Six Sentence offering! Last week I gave you the Heroine’s description from the Hero’s POV. This week I’m presenting the reverse. Please bear in mind, Eve sees Quinn at his worst! He’s escaped a guard with a stunner and spent the night in the woods, then falls afoul of his still-healing memories. […]
