Closing Out Tease Week: Here’s A Never-Before-Seen Peek Into “Changeling”

Changeling

Hello readers – and here it is, the final installment of tease week! I thought I’d end things with a look into the upcoming final installment of the Seeder Saga, “Changeling.”

Lizzie is kidnapped from Earth by a handsome stranger, only to find out her father was from another planet, and embroiled in a plot that threatens mankind all over the galaxy. She’s thrown together with Indar, a member of the Seeder Corps, and together, they’re going to have to figure out a mystery that spans time and space – that is, if they can keep their hands off each other long enough to do so. Along the way, they’ll catch up with our old friends, Miri, Raine, and their men – all of whom prove valuable in this quest.

SkyWoman

In anticipation of the pending release of Changeling: Book Three of the Seeder Saga, I’m teasing you with excerpts of books one and two from The Seeder Saga series. Today, you get another peek at Miri, from book one: “Sky Woman.”

Miri is being avidly pursued by three brothers who want her for their own. Each one has his own unique style, and one of my favorites to write for was Kaivan, the youngest brother. he’s funny, he’s unashamedly flirtatious, and he’s got mad skills between the sheets.

How Do You Market A Story That Straddles Two Different Ends Of The Spectrum?

SkyWoman

When I first wrote “Sky Woman,” I had a really, really hard time pitching this book through traditional channels. Oh, don’t get me wrong – every editor I sent it to loved the damn book. They loved the characters, they loved the steam, they loved the science fiction, and most of all, they loved the way they were completely gobsmacked by one of the plot hooks.

And therein lies the rub…

That very plot hook is what makes my story “not your usual steamy sci-fi romance” material. By the same token, despite the interesting and adventurous direction the plot takes, this is very much a story about love and relationship and commitment within the romance.

I can’t really explain in detail why that is (so as not to spoil the book) but suffice it to say, after each editor waxed poetic about how amazing this book was, it was almost always followed by “I just really don’t know where I’m going to put it.”

So they wanted me to change it, make it more mainstream. Or they wanted me to add in some extra scenes, things that involved more swinging-type behaviors, group scenes, intense BDSM, etc.

I couldn’t do it.

And it’s not because I don’t like those things – they just weren’t this book. There’s more than enough going on here, and due to the nature of Miri and her situation, those things wouldn’t necessarily make sense within the framework of the story. All they’d do is give the publisher the page fodder they need to put the book more comfortably into their pre-arranged category.

So after turning down two different editors (one at a pretty big online erotica site), I decided to go it alone, and I’m glad I did. Sky Woman turned out to be a story that I’m fiercely proud of.

Now if I could just figure out how to talk about the story without giving too much away…

So buy my book. It’s got a really unique premise, lots of hot sex (and I mean LOTS), humor, science fiction, and fun.

Cover Art Is In For Book 3 Of The Seeder Saga: Changeling!

Changeling

It’s awesome, isn’t it? My cover artist, the amazing Colleen Kennedy of Mystique Book Designs has really hit it out of the park for me. This girl is Lizzie. And the cover tells you this girl is nobody’s fool. Unlike the other two stories in the series, Changeling will not be a one-world story, so we’re going to have one hell of an adventure, and of course, we’ll be checking in with our old friends, Miri and Rain, and the men that go with them.

I am so excited for this one. I promise, it’s worth the wait I put you through.

Teasy Tidbits – Book Three of the Seeder Saga

SkyWomanRain in the MoonlightCovcovere

Those of you who’ve been reading my fanfiction know that I am hard at work, finishing up book three of my Seeder Saga novels. It’s way overdue and I apologize for that, but I had a lot to get in here without it seeming crammed, and the story ended up taking me in some wild directions before it wound it’s way to done. I’m in final edits now, and it’s all going to be worth it, I promise you.

So here are some answers to some of the more frequent questions I’ve been asked about book three.

 Is this book about Indar?

Yes! We met our Seeder friend near the end of book one, he figured prominently in book two, and we’ve established that he’s smoking hot and likes to indulge when visiting the locals. What you don’t know is the rest of his backstory, specifically about the Seeders and their history. In addition, we find out more about a sinister plot that’s effecting life on a multitude of planets, including those belonging to Miri and her boys, and Rain and Ajan. So, we’ll be catching up with Indar, and we’ll be meeting Lizzie, the mysterious woman who’s the key to it all.

Will we be spending time with Miri and the boys, and Rain and Ajan?

Oh, yes, definitely. All those characters are near and dear to me, but they also have very important roles to play in helping Indar solve his mystery. I know I wrote books one and two almost as though they could be stand-alones, but book three will bring it all together in a really wonderful way.

Will Miri meet Indar? What will her reaction be?

Ooooh….good question! Yes, she’ll meet him, and as you can expect, she’s got some very mixed feelings about the man who abducted her from her life on earth, even if she ended up living happily ever after because of it. There’s going to be a confrontation, and as you can imagine, her men aren’t too happy to see her unhappy, either. You’ll learn a lot about the Seeders in that chapter, and about the origins of the planet Miri landed on.

When will the book be out?

As I said before, I’m finishing up the last of the edits and formatting for e-book, and the amazing and talented Colleen from Mystique Book Designs is putting together the perfect cover. It’s going to be out right around the first of the new year. Next on the agenda after that – I’m toying with going contemporary, but I do have another fantasy story eating at my brain. We’ll just have to see who wins!

Since we’re on the run-up to launching book three, I’m offering my readers a special discount through the end of the year on the first two Seeder books, via Smashwords. Use these coupon codes, and get half off the cover price!

Is That New Cover Art? Why Yes, It Is!

Rain in the MoonlightCovSkyWoman

Those of you who’ve already read books 1 & 2 in my Seeder series may have noticed some new cover art on book two. I found a wonderful artist who’s custom-designing new covers for the series to give them a more uniform look (and also because the previous covers looked more than a little bland for me). So a big shout out to Colleen at Mystique Book Designs for quick turnaround and exemplary work.

Book Two (Rain in the Moonlight) had the cover I liked least, so it got a makeover first. Book One (Sky Woman) will have its new cover within the next week or so. Book Three of the trilogy will be publishing in the very near future and you’ll get the scoop here as soon as it does.

In the meantime, feel free to peruse the two free short stories I have available in eBook format:

Cashing In – Why wait for death, when you can make a deal?

Under the Rainbow – A St. Patrick’s Day story, mature content.

Or, if you’re a fan of ABC’s Once Upon A Time (and a Captain Swan shipper), you can find my fanfiction here.

Thanks for reading, and look for part three of the Seeder Trilogy, breaking soon!
