Thanks for stopping by to read my science fiction romance Passages, as part of the SFR Brigade Presents. Passages is a completed novel. The first two chapters are featured under ‘My Novels’ in the bar above and I’ve just updated a few recent changes. Here’s an excerpt from Chapter Two, in the heroine Eve’s POV, […]
Thank you for visiting me through Science Fiction Romance Brigade’s Presents! I’m pleased to share a snippet from my SFR, Passages. Quinn, the hero, is also getting used to having—and placating—his bodyguard, an emotional woman only somewhat suited for the job. I handed Taior his copy and shook his hand. “As promised we’ll do […]
Thank you for stopping by to check out my snippet from Passages, my science fiction romance…which may need a genre label shift. SF also stands for ‘speculative fiction,’ right? Seems my novel might fall into the ‘science fantasy’ genre. Still looking into it. Anyhow, here we go: Quinn has never experienced small town life before, […]

Do your homework ahead of time. Know who represents what, […]
In the opening scenes of my science fiction romance, Passages, the hero, Quinn has no idea the woman he thinks is his grandmother is actually an electorg. Eve, the heroine, is the unlucky one to discover the masquerade, and tell Quinn. I slid a fingernail under one crusty end and lifted. The scab moved, exposing—“Wires. […]
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 […]
