    Ava is a housekeeper aboard Star Spirit, a luxury cruise ship
    travelling between the Milky Way and the Belvarian System. Coming from a middle-class

    to be tossed away when they’re done with her.
    Shunned because of his lineage…
    Banned from several planets across the universe, Nate struggles
    to run his interstellar shipping business. But the DNA of an exterminated race runs
    through his blood, giving him a diluted form of their powers, and leaving him labeled
    as a terrorist.
    Both searching for the one…
    Through her 1Night Stand dating service, Madame Evangeline matches
    these two together for a celestial escape on the pleasure planet, Elatia.
    Will Ava and Nate find what they’re looking for, or will their
    date be just another night on another planet?

    About Your Writer: Questions for your character to answer about you.

    Why do you think your
    writer chose to write about you?
    Because she couldn’t get me out of her head. I just wouldn’t
    leave her alone until she told my story. And let me tell you, I had to fight off
    a bunch of other characters as well.
    What do you wish your
    writer had not told others about you?
    Um, that would be what happens after intercourse. I don’t mean
    for it to happen, but I can’t help it. It’s part of my genetics.
    Was there anything your
    writer discovered about you that was a surprise to one or both of you?
    I didn’t realize how much I’d missed Ava until I saw her again.
    When your writer is writing
    about you, what do you think makes your writer the most happy? What makes your writer
    the most sad?
    For some reason, she really enjoyed writing the scene where I’m
    being chased by the Otarians. And what made her the most sad affected me the same
    way, when I woke up and found Ava gone.
    Why do you think your
    writer loves to write?
    It’s her way to escape to her own little world rather than pulling
    her hair out. She doesn’t smoke, drink, or even have a coffee addiction, so she
    needs to de-stress somehow.
    What other character from
    your book do you think your writer should write a book about? Care to tell us why?
    Well, Wyn and Michelle got their happily-ever-after, even though
    their story wasn’t told. But, I’m curious about Kalara and Jacobus’ relationship.
    I mean, what couple gives erotic massages to others? But, then again, we were on
    Elatia, the pleasure planet.
    Is there anything you’d
    like to say to your writer?
    Thank you for giving me Ava back.

    Genre: Science Fiction
    Heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    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.
    Yanked 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. Until now.
    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. So who
    — or what — is behind the request to trail Kaiwulf?

    Author Interview: Diana Green On the Outside #RLFblog #SciFiRomance

    On The Outside by Diana Green
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG 13
    In a not-so-distant future, the privileged live within protective
    walls, and the rest fend for themselves…on the outside.
    From a life of relative comfort and safety, Orla is plunged into
    a struggle for survival. Her newly emerged phasing powers force her to become a
    fugitive, hunted by government agents, and driven to the edges of society.
    In desperation Orla joins a band of smugglers. Their caravan
    could offer the perfect hiding place, or it could be her undoing. Much of that depends
    on Charlie, top gunslinger and ‘teeth’ of the operation. Will he prove to be a valuable
    ally or just another kind of trouble?

    Interview with Diana Green

    Why did you write this
    book?
    I was driving along in my car, when a song came on. It was The Ghost of Tom Joad by a Celtic group,
    Solas. Something about the lyrics, really gripped me. They painted a picture of
    a life living under railroad bridges and struggling to find enough food.
    I started writing what I thought would be a short story about
    a young homeless woman, but the character and setting just kept evolving, until
    it grew to over a hundred pages. In the process the heroine, Orla, ended up with
    teleporting powers, and the setting became a dystopian future.
    When I wrote about the smugglers’ caravan, the story really took
    off. This setting provided such interesting characters. I had loads of fun with
    it.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I enjoy science fiction, fantasy, historical, romance, and combinations
    of those genres.
    What is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own characters)?
    Oh dear. That is impossible to answer with only one. I’ll have
    to list a few of my favorites.
    Tyrion Lannister from The Game of Thrones, Tehanu from the Earthsea
    Series, Temmeraire and Captain Laurence from His Majesty’s Dragon, Bilbo Baggins
    from the Hobbit, and Katniss from The Hunger Games.
    Do you enjoy films and/or
    TV shows? Which are your favorites?
    I don’t watch much television, but I love movies. The Lord of
    the Rings trilogy was excellent. I also appreciate intelligent sci-fiction films
    like Moon. Good historic films like The King’s Speech are another favorite of mine.
    I have a special place in my heart for uncommon westerns, such as The Gray Fox,
    A Thousand Pieces of Gold, Appaloosa, The Ballad of Little Jo, and Two Mules for
    Sister Sara.
    What are you working on
    at the moment, and what are we likely to see from you in the coming months?
    I am currently writing the second book in my Dragon Clan trilogy,
    for The Wild Rose Press. The first book, Dragon Wife, should be released sometime
    in the first half of 2014. The series is fantasy romance and follows a clan of dragon
    shifters.
    Tell us about your latest
    book.
    On the Outside is set in a dystopian future where the privileged
    live within walled cities, and the rest of the population struggles to survive with
    limited resources and technology. Some people have inherited special abilities like
    teleporting or telepathy. These individuals are hunted by the government, in order
    to be used for research.
    The main character, Orla, is on the run because of her teleporting
    ability. She ends up finding shelter with a traveling caravan, but things are far
    from simple. Adjusting to life with the caravan and learning how to control her
    powers provide ample challenge.
    To complicate matters, the caravan’s top gunslinger, Charlie,
    takes an interest in her. He seems like a dangerous individual, and Orla is not
    at all certain how to handle his attention. To find out what happens, you’ll need
    to read the book.

    Character Interview: Zak from My Boyfriend’s an Alien @LMBrownAuthor #RLFblog #lgbt

    LM Brown, welcome back to Romance Lives Forever. We’re excited to
    interview your character, Zak from the book, My Boyfriend’s an Alien.
    Genre: SciFi
    Publisher: Totally Bound
    Cover artist: Emmy and Angelique of Totally Bound
    Length: 227 pages
    Heat rating: Sizzling
    Tagline: Can an alien find love with a human being?
    Blurb: Zak, an alien from the planet Trimmeron, is a member of
    a race of beings who transform into other species during their years of puberty.
    It’s customary for the youngsters to be fostered to the worlds native to their new
    forms, to study and learn about the races who will play an important part in their
    lives.
    When Zak turns into a human it comes as a surprise to everyone,
    for only one other before him has ever done so. Nevertheless he is sent to Earth,
    a world he views as primitive and barbaric. He arrives with a chip on his shoulder
    and attitude to spare. He does not believe anyone on Earth can have anything to
    teach him.
    When Zak meets college student Sam he soon discovers he has a
    lot to learn, not only about humans, but also about himself.
    Trapped on an unfamiliar world and in a strange body that seems
    to have a mind of its own, Zak has no idea what is happening to him, only that Sam
    seems to be the key to the strange afflictions he is suffering from.
    But can an alien find love with a human being?
    What are your main characters’ names, ages, and occupations?
    Sam, age 19, college student
    Zak, age 19 (in Earth years), college student

    Interview with Zak

    Tell us about yourself.
    My name is Zakrynious, though here on Earth I go by the name
    Zak Johnson. I’m what you humans would call an alien, although I don’t look it.
    Actually, in my regular form I look like nothing you’ve ever seen before. I have
    blue fur all over me and a tail like a monkey for balance. My people are like chameleons
    and all through puberty we change into other creatures. Right now I’m a human, which
    came as a shock to pretty much everyone, me included. It’s customary for us to be
    fostered to the worlds where our new forms are native and so here I am on Earth.
    I got sent here to stay with Darren, the only other person from Trimmeron to turn
    human. Lucky for me he decided to stay here on Earth so I could be fostered into
    his care while I’m learning all about what it means to be human.
    Tell us about Sam.
    Unlike me, Sam is a regular human being. He’s smart and has such
    great inner strength it amazes me. He goes to the local college where Darren has
    enrolled me too. He talks about how he’d like to have gone to university like his
    friends, but he doesn’t let it get him down too much. I get the feeling there’s
    something else going on that he hasn’t told me. Sometimes I think Sam’s best friend,
    Lucy, is about to let something slip to me about what he’s hiding, but each time
    she starts to say something Sam gives her a look, or a swift kick, to stop her from
    saying too much. I hope one day Sam will tell me what it is he’s hiding. In the
    meantime, it just makes him more mysterious.
    What do you think is your strongest point?
    My ability to adapt. I’ve taken a number of different forms over
    the years of my puberty and mostly I find it easy to adapt to the new climate, body
    and customs of different worlds. At least I did until I came to Earth. This place
    is nothing like anywhere I’ve ever been before and certain parts of my human body
    seems to have a mind of their own. I hope I can manage to figure this out before
    my time here on Earth is up.
    What was it like where you grew up?
    Trimmeron is another world, literally. There’s no pollution on
    my world and no disease either. No one goes hungry and the last war took place so
    long ago even the oldest of my people can’t remember it, and since we can live to
    be 10,000 years old, that’s a very long time we’ve been at peace. Trimmeron is very
    advanced compared to Earth, but things aren’t necessarily better. My people aren’t
    big on showing emotions. Our genetic makeup doesn’t really allow for strong feelings.
    We’re born in laboratories to parents who are paired up because their genes are
    likely to produce healthy and smart children. I grew up in my father’s household
    at the base of a mountain range with lots of siblings and half siblings. It was
    always busy with lots happening. I guess compared to how Sam grew up, with two parents
    who raised him together and doted on him, it seems pretty lonely, although it didn’t
    seem like it at the time.
    What do you wish was different about your life?
    The only thing I wish were different about my life is having
    my biological parents take a more active part in it. I didn’t realise until I came
    to live with Darren and Eleanor how much I had missed out on having real parents
    looking out for me. It’s not like my natural parents didn’t love me, or I them,
    but I’m finally starting to realise that there’s more to being a parent than simply
    donating your DNA.
    If you were given your fondest wish, what would it be?
    I would like to show Sam the universe, all the worlds I have
    been to and all those I have yet to visit. There’s so much out there to see, so
    much to learn, and Sam has such a thirst for knowledge I’m sure he would love it.
    As soon as my period of fostering is over I intend to take Sam to Trimmeron with
    me. Of course, I’ll have to tell him I’m an alien first and even though he’s a total
    astronomy geek, he’s not likely to believe me just like that. Like I said, Sam is
    really smart and it’ll take something huge to convince him I’m telling the truth.
    Lucky for me our spaceships are enormous.
    Describe a place of perfect refuge.
    My mother’s home in the mountains.
    She’s a healer who lives near the Sacred Pool, which is where my people go to join
    their life forces together. It’s a dangerous thing to do so she lives nearby just
    in case she is needed in a hurry. Her home is high up in the trees and even though
    her house is just as crowded as my father’s it’s out of the way of the rest of the
    community. There are lots of mountain streams, hidden glens and quiet spots around
    the area and I loved exploring them when I was growing up. The only thing even more
    perfect than the mountains would be being there with Sam. The mountains were my
    refuge as a child, but I think maybe Sam will be my refuge as an adult.
