    Travel to a godforsaken planet on the outskirts of space. Check.
    Hold intrusive military goons 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. Yanked back from their first vacation in ages, Jee and Dane get
    handed a top priority mission. The pay is better than they’ve earned before as agents
    for the Trace, Rescue, and Identification League. After this, 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. Until now. After all, how do you find an invisible
    man in another dimension? The archaeologist in charge can’t afford this fee, and
    neither can the military. So the real question is who — or what — is behind the
    request to trail Kaiwulf?

    5 Easy Questions: Anne Kane author Love and Wishes @annekane #RLFblog #fantasy

    Love and Wishes
    by Anne Kane 
    Anne Kane author of Love and Wishes answers five easy questions
    to help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    Anne Kane lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with a bouncy
    Jack Russell terrier, a cantankerous Himalayan cat, a bossy little calico and too
    many fish to count. She spent many years trying to fit in and act normal, but finally
    gave up the effort. She started writing romance, and her fate was sealed when she
    won a publishing contract with Red Sage Publishing and just a month later Changeling
    Press accepted her first submission. Since then she had published more than thirty
    stories in a variety of sub-genres, all with a happily ever after.
    Her hobbies, when she’s not playing with the characters in her
    head, include kayaking, hiking, motorcycles, swimming, skating, karate, playing
    guitar, singing and of course, reading.
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    You know I live on the west coast of Canada, and up here wild
    Salmon is fairly common. You can catch a nice one by standing on the bridge in the
    middle of town and dropping your line into the river. These aren’t little fish!
    A side of one can feed at least six people. My favorite way to cook them is to slather
    maple syrup on a side of salmon and barbeque wrapped up in tinfoil with some lemon
    slices. A nice fresh garden salad, picked that day supplies the veggie component
    and some baked potatoes with sour cream, bacon bits and green onions finish the
    meal off. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    The perfect vacation is a jaunt somewhere exotic with my sister.
    We live far apart and rarely get to see each other so one year we decided that each
    spring we would meet somewhere in the world and have a vacation together. We’ve
    been doing this for the past five years, and absolutely love it! It’s wonderful
    to have a travel companion that you get along with, and we’ve been to lots on amazing
    places. Come to think of it, it’s time to start planning our trip for this year.
    What are your hobbies?
    I have way too many hobbies. I sing in two choirs, play guitar
    and piano, hike the mountain trails with my dog, kayak in the river (yup, same one
    the salmon came out of) putter in the garden, and read lots and lots of books. I
    also swim, skate and practice karate.
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    I think I’ve read darn near anything at one point or another!
    Romance, murder mysteries,.fantasy, science fiction, contemporary, and autobiographies
    of famous people. It depends on what mood I’m in, or what caught my attention when
    I was in the book store or browsing in the online bookstores.
    If the hero of your latest
    book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    Definitely the James Bond Theme song!

    In the android business, the best of the best are Human
    Perfect.
    In this science fiction short story, 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, or
    merely… Human Perfect.

    This!” set in the same universe.
    Human Perfect is dedicated to members of The Edge of Peril, a small group of readers who follow Kayelle’s books. (Warning: inside information and spoilers)

    Author Interview: Linda Mooney @LindaMooney #RLFblog #Scifi #SFR

    Zonaton

    About Zonaton

    Genre sensuously erotic sci-fi romance novel
    Author Name Linda Mooney
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    The native inhabitants of AR617b, known as gerons
    are sentient creatures that resemble a cross between dragons and griffins of old
    Earth lore. When they initially tried to destroy the settlers, a deal was made to
    ensure both species’ survival. It was decided that each year, every five-year-old
    human child must take The Walk across a hundred meter field. If they don’t stop
    or run, they will arrive safely on the other side, and be allowed to grow up and
    have families of their own. But if they break the rule, the gerons will kill them
    unless, by a strange quirk of fate, a geron decides to Pair with the child, taking
    and raising the human as its own.
    Emmala took The Walk, and found herself adopted by
    one of the older gerons, an immense silvery-white creature named Zonaton. For the
    next fifteen years, he cared for her, protected her, and loved her. But now Emmala’s
    real family wants her back, and they will do everything they can to have her returned,
    even if it means killing Zonaton, and starting an all-out war with the gerons.
    What neither the settlers nor gerons realize is that
    there is another alien species watching and waiting for the two combatants to go
    into battle. Because when they do, that will be the aliens’ cue to destroy everyone,
    and claim AR617b for their own.

    Interview with Linda Mooney

    Why did you write this
    book?
    By accident, I ran across a piece of artwork on the internet
    that hit me like a two-by-four. I have no idea who the artist is, but it’s a picture
    of a human-like dragon/griffin protecting a naked young female. The picture is in
    sepia tones, mostly silver in color, and I just couldn’t shake the image. It was
    too powerful and beautiful, and I knew I had to write a story around the piece.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    Believe it or not, I love to read mostly horror. As for romance,
    I’m very eclectic. Whatever gets my attention, I’ll read.
    What is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own characters)?
    I love the Comte de Saint Germaine, by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro.
    Do you enjoy films and/or
    TV shows? Which are your favorites?
    I watch mostly horror. Right now I’m a huge Walking Dead fan.
    I also watch Ghost Adventures, From Dusk ‘Til Dawn, and Sherlock.
    What are you working on
    at the moment, and what are we likely to see from you in the coming months?
    I’m jumping back and forth between several books. Once I retire
    from teaching in June (after 35 years), I hope to “settle down” and get
    a few more books completed, including AEquana’s Quest, HeartStorm, Runner’s Moon:
    Yarrolam, Every Battle Lord’s Nightmare, and an independent story called UnderSilver.
    Please tell us about your
    latest book.
    Zonaton is a geron, one of the sentient creatures inhabiting
    an Earth-like planet. A hundred years ago, the survivors of Earth landed on his
    world and began to colonize. But, as humans do, they began to ravage the planet,
    forcing the gerons to try and curb the destruction. As the gerons, who resemble
    dragon/griffin-like humans, are much more powerful, they nearly killed all the survivors,
    until one man managed to broker a truce between the species. As part of the treaty,
    every year, all 5-year-old children have to take The Walk across a barren plot of
    land. Those children who run or refuse to go are taken away and killed. Those who
    follow through survive to grow up.
    What the humans don’t realize is that gerons are extremely sensitive
    to human tendencies. Gerons can tell which child will grow up to become vicious
    and possibly a severe danger to their own kind. What the gerons actually do is cull
    the human population of any future danger.
    Emmala is old enough to take The Walk, but her situation is drastic.
    She is a severely abused child, both physically and emotionally. During the trial,
    Zonaton realizes she will not live to grow up if her situation doesn’t change, so
    he “adopts” her, and takes her away to live with him.
    The only problem with this is that he is well into his elderly
    years, and doesn’t have many left to live. All he can do is hope he remains around
    long enough to give Emmala – whom he has come to cherish – enough knowledge and
    support so that she can survive on her own after he is gone.
    What neither of them realize is that Emmala’s abusive parents
    decide they want her back with them, and they will do everything in their power
    to have her returned to them.
    At the same time, some rogue aliens, who have caused trouble
    before in the past, have landed back on the gerons’ planet, and it won’t be long
    before they’re expected to pose a major threat to both the humans and gerons.

    5 Easy Questions: Touchstone of Love @beth_barany #RLFblog #timetravel

    A Touchtone of Love 
    5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick,
    easy, and fun. Today’s guest is Beth Barany.
    What is your go-to
    meal to order when you dine out? Your favorite “I know it will hit the
    spot” item.
    I love breakfast at any time of day, so depending on where I
    am, I’ll usually get two eggs over easy with hash browns, bacon, and a side of
    steamed spinach.
    What were you like
    when you were in school?
    Starting at age 12 in middle school, I was super studious
    and worked hard to get A’s. But before then, I wasn’t paying much attention to
    the teacher and would only do the assignments I liked: math and spelling.
    Everything else wasn’t a nearly as interesting as the book I was reading at the
    time.
    Would you rather stay
    inside and watch snow falling, or get out in it and build a snowman?
    Well, that depends! Am I reading a great book? Then I want
    to stay inside. But if I don’t have anything in my hands at the moment, I want
    to get outside and preferably cross-country ski.
    What was your
    favorite book as a child?
    I really loved The Lost Prince by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
    What was the last
    movie you watched (home or theater)?
    Turbo! What a sweet and fun film about holding fast to your
    dreams and going after them with all you’ve got!
