To celebrate, I'll be having a raucous sci-fi romance party on my blog this week. There'll be champagne and canapes and waiters named Sven... well, maybe not... but I'll be giving away some cool books by my fave sf-rom authors. If Sven doesn't show up, that's his loss.
So keep an eye out for some fab giveaways in the next few days -- and check the bottom of this post for today's little bonus prize!
In case you've somehow missed me going on about it for the last few weeks:
Carrie Thatcher is a tough
Imperial counter-terrorism agent. Her mission: pose as a sexy
cyber-thief to entrap the notorious rebel Dragonfly, who’s planning a
heist on the space station Casa de Esperanza – an orbital casino on the
fringe of Imperial space.And this assignment’s personal: Dragonfly murdered her closest friend, and she’s in no mood to show him mercy. Even getting stuck with the partner from hell—Malachite, her sociopathic ex-lover and the Empire’s most dangerous agent—can’t dampen her relish for the kill.
With Carrie’s expert weapons skills and penchant for cracking codes, insinuating herself into Dragonfly’s confidence should be easy. But is he the ruthless killer she was led to believe? Or has her precious Empire deceived her? With Malachite watching her every move, the slightest flinch in loyalty means death.
Carrie is soon racing to uncover an audacious treachery that will shock the Empire to its core … if she can stay alive for long enough to expose it.
Awesome, huh? Thanks to the folks at Momentum Books/Pan Macmillan for doing such a brilliant job!
There'll also be a PoD version (yay! paperback!) sometime soon. And DRAGONFLY is on Goodreads -- do check it out! Add it to your shelf! Shower it in love and anticipation!
Also, while I'm here: a few new shorts out today from the Hot Down Under series at my publisher, Momentum. If you're looking for some sexy shorts for $0.99 to while away a few minutes, check 'em out (and check out the cool covers -- nice, eh?)
Today's bonus prize? I'm giving away a Kindle copy of any one of these three hot little stories to one lucky commenter. For a chance to win: let's talk sci-fi romance! Do you like sci-fi romance? Why/why not? What's your favourite romantic sci-fi movie/book/tv show?
I'll finish this giveaway on Sunday night, so jump in quick!
Congratulations, Erica!
ReplyDeleteI think one of the best romances in sci fi was the Aeryn/ Crichton love story in Farscape. While not classified as a romance series, this really was a big part of it.
That is a great story isn't it? A lot of angst, too :)
Deletei ADORED the reimagined BSG series. it had a lot of drama and very STRONG charactures

And so many twists and turns. It was brilliant!
DeleteCongrats on the release Erica!
ReplyDeleteI guess I have to say my favourite is "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. I think the humour in this just does it for me.

Thanks Effie! Oh, yes :) my childhood memories are peppered with Hitchhiker quotes. My friends thought I was a bit nuts... nothing much has changed, I guess...

DeleteI don't think we're nuts....Oh well at least we don't need professional therapy. We turn those voices into dialogue. :)
DeleteSciFi was one of my first loves and I really enjoy how it is coming back now. While not a scifi romance I love Nathan Lowell's series.
ReplyDeleteAnd who could forget Anne McCaffrey's Crystal Singer series.
Ooh, I don't know Nathan Lowell. I'll have to go and look him up. Thanks for the rec!
DeleteCongrats on the release, Erica. I bought my copy of Dragonfly yesterday and cant wait to read it. Loved Farscape, Loved the on-going (and unresolved) tension in Firefly. I just love sci fi :).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention too. xx
I love Farscape :) it's one of those shows that's hard to explain to people because it sounds so silly. You kind of have to watch it to get it. P.S. Any excuse to post your hot cover :)
DeleteI love the Cyborgs More Than Machines series by Eve Langlais. I gravitate towards sci-fi in general and principally towards romance . . . . mix the two and I AM THERE!!! Gabi Stevens recommended this on Facebook so I ordered it for my Kindle then passed the word on to our international book club members. **closing now to grab my Kindle and hunker on down in front of the fire to read **
ReplyDeleteYou had me at cyborgs :) and thanks! I hope you enjoy the book!
DeleteI always preferred the stories that mixed sci-fi and fantasy. Anne McCarthy was the one the get me into that style of novel. Those my fav romances that a sci-fi are my fair captain etc.

The hard science ones can be a bit much for me, too, sometimes. I like a bit of fantasy flavour!
