    must have five or more comments (not counting the guest author’s). There can be
    up to three winners.

    Can’t Forget #scifi by @ColleenSMyers #RLFblog

    Today’s featured book is Can’t Forget by Colleen S Myers.
    Publisher – Champagne Book Group
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Release date 6/6/16 June 6th
    Is it better to be safe or loved?
    Four months have passed since the E’mani destroyed the Earth
    and scooped up the remains. Elizabeth “Beta” Camden was one of those taken.
    With the help of their enemies, the Fost, she escapes and confronts her prior captors
    successfully. Though she knows she should remain vigilant toward the E’mani, she
    follows her heart instead and falls in love with Marin, the sexy Fost warrior.
    She should have trusted her first instinct.
    This time the E’mani don’t come in force–they slip in silently.
    And any hope Beta had of a peaceful life is lost. She leaves in the dead of night
    to find the E’mani stronghold and end them once and for all. But love is a tricky
    bitch. It takes a threat to Marin’s safety to make Beta realize, if she can’t forget
    her past, she won’t have a future.

    About the Author

    Colleen S. Myers was raised in a large catholic family in the
    outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she grew up on Harlequin teen romances
    and stories from her mother’s days as a paramedic. She went on to attend Allegheny
    College majoring in Biology and English.
    After college, Colleen spent a year in service in the Americorp
    giving back to the community at a local Pittsburgh Women Infants and Children Clinic
    (WICC) before attending Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine on a military
    scholarship.
    Upon completing medical school, Colleen attended residency at
    Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland and was on base in Washington, DC during 9/11.
    She earned three meritorious service awards from the military. After serving seven
    years of active duty, she promptly landed a position at the VA to provide fellow
    veterans with optimum medical care. Still an avid fan of romances into adulthood,
    her love of the genre inspired her to hone her craft as a writer, focusing on contemporary
    romance and science fiction. Her background in medicine and the military provides
    an inspiring layer of creative realism to her stories and characters.
    Her first book, Must Remember, the first book in the Solum series,
    is published by Champagne Press. The sequel, Can’t Forget, coming in June 2016,
    is the recipient of the 2015 RWA New England Readers Award.
    Colleen currently resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her
    husband and son, and spends her spare time writing. She is also working on a new
    contemporary romance.

    Must Remember a new #SciFi Romance by @ColleenSMyers #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and
    introduces the story.

    About the Author

    Colleen plays many roles. Not only is she a veteran, a mother, and
    a practicing physician, but she is a writer of science fiction and contemporary
    romances. Colleen’s dreams include surviving her son’s teenage years, exploring
    every continent on this planet, except Antartica, cause that’s way too cold,
    and winning the Nobel peace prize. Dream BIG!

    Interview with Colleen S. Myers

    Why did you write
    this book?
    It’s kind of funny. 
    One day I was reading one of my favorite author’s books.  I love her work. It is my favorite and I
    detested how she ended her series.  I
    screamed, cried, moaned and bitched. So much so that my husband shushed me and
    told me to write my own damn book if it bothered me. So I did.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    Fantasy. Always fantasy. I get enough Real life at work.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Kate Daniels in the Magic series by Ilona Andrews.
    What are you working
    on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    My current WIP is a story called Ascent. And editing my
    second book in the solum series, Don’t Forget which is due out in June 6,
    2016.
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.
    Nineteen-year-old
    Elizabeth ‘Beta’ Camden is a survivor.
    When
    the E’mani—those pale alien freaks—destroy Earth with a plague of madness and
    scoop up the remains, Beta is one of the ‘lucky’ ones. For years, she endures
    their tortures, experiments and games. Then one day, she manages to escape
    their ship with her life, and no memory of her time with them.
    Stranded
    on their world, Beta wanders the mountains, looking for a way home. She
    stumbles onto the Fost—the E’mani’s ancient enemy.  Their war with the
    E’mani is old and rooted in magic that the Fost once had and the E’mani crave.
    Magic Beta soon discovers she’s developing along with strange tattoos and
    disturbing glimpses of her past. The Fost take her in and train her in their
    ways. As she spends more time with them, she falls in love with their culture
    and with Marin—he of the hot hands and slit eyes.
    But the
    E’mani took her for a reason and they want her back—dead or alive. If Beta
    doesn’t remember that reason soon, they’re all going to die.
