    Scifi Archaeology: Trailing Kaiwulf #scifi #RLFblog

    Trailing Kaiwulf 
    Set in the far future, Trailing Kaiwulf combines science fiction with romantic elements, and the story of an archaeologist studying mankind’s exploration of the galaxy.

    About the Book

    Title Trailing Kaiwulf
    Genre Science Fiction with Romantic Elements
    Author Kayelle Allen
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

    About the Story

    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.
    Ordered 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.
    But 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. Which prompts the question of who — or what — is behind
    the request to trail Kaiwulf.

    Where This Is

    This story is set in the same universe
    as other books I’ve written, including Surrender Love, Wulf, Alitus, Jawk, Forbid
    My Heart, For Women Only, and At the Mercy of Her Pleasure. Those books take place
    in the Tarthian Empire. Trailing Kaiwulf happens in the Colonies of Man, which is
    beyond those borders. The planet Ust was thought to be uninhabited. Overrun by vegetation
    and constantly wet from rain, the joke is that was called Rust, but the R rusted
    and fell off. In truth, it is one of the farthest planets on the outskirts of the
    colonies, and home to only a few dozen humans.

    Why the Drama

    What makes this world the center of
    attention is a set of “gates” — arches like others found on various planets
    throughout this part of space. The gates on Ust, however, are functional and used
    by the inhabitants. Which makes them the archaeological find of the century.
    Gates of Life 
    Picture the Saint Louis Arch on a smaller
    scale, and then imagine two of them next to each other. Thicker, squatter, but with
    arcane markings etched deeply into their surfaces. In this art by Jamin Allen, you
    can see the relative size (note the human figure at the bottom left). Detiza is
    in the Tarthian Empire, and is a world completely overgrown by massive plant life.
    Archaeologists have speculated about this world’s history for centuries. No human
    life exists here, although it must have, judging by the gates. On Ust, the humans
    have an annual ritual. The priestess inserts a “holy instrument” (a key)
    into a slot, and then all the villagers pass through the gates in single file, with
    the youngest being carried through. For the past ten years, though, the ritual has
    been abandoned, because Kaiwulf stole the key. When the archaeologist who discovers
    the site hears the story, and then runs into him (literally) in a cave, she realizes Kaiwulf is able to fade out of this dimension and into another one. She hires
    TRAIL to find him and bring him back. But how do you find an invisible man in another dimension?

    Interview with Jee Tonopah

    Please tell us about yourself.
    Not much to tell. I’m an agent for TRAIL. Don’t believe what some people tell you. It doesn’t stand for Thieves, Ruffians, Assholes, Idiots, and Liars. It stands for Trace, Rescue and Identification League. I’ve never been married. Never wanted to be. I can’t picture me being a mom. I like my life like it is, never in the same place more than a few days. I like being the hardass who gets to tell people what to do. My partner, Dane Raphyel, is the brains. I’m the brawn. Yeah, okay, I get that I come up to his waist or something. The dude is off the charts TALL. He’s got more muscle in one arm than I have in my whole body, but yeah, he’s the brains. If somebody’s gonna get clobbered on the job, or there’s somebody who needs to take a dirt nap, it’ll be me making sure they get it. Just the way it is.
    What is it that you want, but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.
    Could I please just get a vacation? I saved for months to get this glorious vacation. A real first-class kind of sleepliner between planets, and
    I was on my way to Earth, when TRAIL decided to yank us back for a mission. It was all I could do to keep from blasting holes in the wall when they told me.
    What inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?
    See, I don’t have any of that touchy-feely inner doubt kind of crap. I know what I’m doing and there’s none of this inner turmoil you hear about.
    I believe in telling it the way it is. Dane says I don’t get headaches. I give ’em. You want that soft girly talk, go see Dane’s wife or something. I don’t do
    that sh–  er, uh… stuff.
    What’s your external complication? In the story world your author created, explain what it is you fear most.
    Not getting that vacation I was promised. Yeah I know my boss signed for it and all that, but saying I get this first class trip and then actually
    letting me get on the ship and then get all the way to Earth and get really into the vacation thing…? I’ll believe it when it happens. I’ve been promised time off for so long… I just want some time, you know?
    Tell us about your significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    *scratches her head* You’re not talking about a boyfriend, are you? I don’t have one. Not one I’d tell you about anyway. No offense. My partner’s
    as close to me as they come, but he’s like my brother. Plus he’s married with five kids and he’s crazy in love with his wife. But if I ever found a guy like that… Nah, who am I kidding? I’d run the other direction. I’m more of a party kind of woman. Give me a hot cutie who’s not busy for the night and I’m good.
    What would that person say about you?
    The cutie? He’d say “Baby, where you been all my life?” Or some other intelligent pick up line. *winks* It’s all good.
    What special skills do you rely on?
    I’m the shortest agent working for TRAIL, but I have the highest rating for marksmanship in the company. I’ve been an agent since I can remember.
    Always wanted to work for the company. If I hadn’t, I’d probably have ended up being some kind of assassin. Of course, my partner had a lot to do with the assassin thing not happening, but that’s another story. Maybe Kayelle will put that in another book.

    About the Writer

    Why did you choose to write about this character?
    I wanted a kick-ass heroine who isn’t afraid to be herself. Jee Tonopah is mini but mighty. She’s a little bit like I wish I could be — not afraid
    of a single thing.
    Why do you write?
    I can’t help myself. I tried to stop. It’s no use. I’m a writer. I have to write.
    What do you want to write next?
    I’m working on an illustrated book about one of my immortals from another series (title: Bringer of Chaos), and a sequel for The Last Vhalgenn,
    a fantasy I released previously. Plus a few more.
    Are any sequels planned for this book?
    Yes. It’s one of the things I’m working on. This will be a new adventure for Jee and Dane.
    Is there anything you’d like to say to your readers?
    Thank you for hanging with me to read this! I’d love to get to know you better. Come meet me on social media or email me. I will answer back. I
    follow the #Loki hashtag on Twitter, so if you’re a Tom Hiddleston fan, we have something in common!
