The CHOSEN series: Wulf, Alitus, Jawk #SciFi #MMRomance #WriteLGBTQ

 

The Chosen serve the immortals known as Sempervians. Like any group, it has its hidden alignments, mistrust, and mistakes.

It also harbors enemies and spies within its ranks -- some known and tolerated, others hidden behind layers so convoluted even those who live forever can't figure them out.

 

Chosen is an acrostic for:
Called to serve
Honored to protect
Obedient to the vow
Safeguards of the truth
Enablers of life
Neutralizers of threats

Here's a quick peek at each book.

Wulf

Lust. Power. Forgiveness. Can a romance live forever?

To survive, superstar Wulf Gabriel must depend on the one man he swore he would never trust again - the most powerful and feared man in the empire - the Harbinger. Saving Wulf is simple; gaining his trust will take reaching into the Harbinger's own dark past and facing a truth he's avoided since the night Wulf's father died. Because of him.

Alitus

Passion. Addiction. Loyalty. Can true love bare its heart forever?

Alitus Vivaldi is a Better, an enhanced human bred for intelligence, discipline, and responsiveness. His combined talents in bed and politics take him from the Conqueror's favorite pleasure slave to her personal assistant. To help the Conqueror accomplish her secret agenda, he willingly forsakes his identity and pride, but when he must prove he's overcome his greatest fear, what will the noble Alitus do to survive?

Jawk

Pleasure. Trust. Possession. Is a betrayal of the heart forever?

Jawk Brighton works at Batchelors, a gay restaurant/club in the Top Tier district of Tarth City, where he meets the immortal Luc Saint-Cyr. Luc offers Jawk a deal too good to pass up, one night showing him and his Chosen, Wulf Gabriel, a good time in exchange for far more than his usual pay. But one night with the sensual Jawk will change the relationship between the immortal and his Chosen -- forever.

An Immortal's Guide to Tarth

A must have for fans of the Tarthian Empire series. This handy guide will inform, entertain, and provide peeks behind the curtain. Includes a who's who among the immortals.

The Chosen

In the secret society of the Chosen, being gay or straight is no different from being brown-eyed or blue-eyed. No one notices. But disloyalty? That's an offense punishable by death. No trial needed. In this trilogy, everyone's loyalty is questioned. How can you tell which follower is loyal to which leader? When you factor in leaders who have dual allegiances, knowing who to trust takes on a whole new level of danger -- especially for those who live forever...

#Excerpt A Divided Heart – You could cut the tension with a knife #SciFi #MMRomance #MFRWhooks

#Excerpt A Divided Heart - You could cut the tension with a knife #SciFi #MMRomance

In this scene from A Divided Heart, Brinn and his co-teacher, Hahlibeth, have just gotten their foster child into bed.

Excerpt A Divided Heart

On the stairs, Brinn turned and sat, elbows braced on his knees, thinking back over the day. How bizarre was it to have a student of his own in this house, where he had so many memories? Graduation parties for reaching the various levels in the Guild. Long nights spent studying. Being quizzed by Luc, asking him questions, getting his advice. Learning the laws that pertained to the types of theft Brinn planned to pursue. Understanding contracts for theft and how to protect himself against dubious clauses and demands.

He was still sitting there when Hahlibeth came down.

She sat beside him. "I got two pages into a story, and she was out. I thought she might be faking it at first. My brother and I used to do that sometimes. We'd talk in the dark. I finished reading and sat there, waiting, but she didn't move."

"You think she's happy?"

"I don't think she knows what to think."

"Probably right."

Hahlibeth gripped one of his hands and leaned toward him. "She's young. She's in a new place. Her life has been disrupted. We can't expect anything like normal. She doesn't even know what normal is right now. At least, not what's normal for an Academy student."

Brinn set one arm around Hahlibeth's shoulders and hugged her. "I'm so glad to be doing this with you."

"Me too." She leaned against him and then away. "So, what's with the sexual tension between you and Kam?"

He twisted to face her, putting his back against the railing. "Um... What?"

"Oh, don't pretend. It was so thick you could cut it with a knife."

"Hahlibeth, I promise you. There is nothing going on between Kam and me. If you're sensing anything, it's frustration and annoyance."

She chuckled. "Uh huh."

Read Maelstrom Cara Bristol’s new book @CaraBristol (Cyborg Force #4) #SciFi #Romance

Read Maelstrom Cara Bristol's new book @CaraBristol (Cyborg Force #4) #SciFi #Romance

Read Maelstrom Cara Bristol's new book @CaraBristol (Cyborg Force #4) #SciFi #Romance She desires to be loved. But that's the one thing he can't give her.

All Sandy Jodane ever wanted was to belong, to be loved. Instead, she's become a pawn to be used and discarded by her empire-building politician mother. After turning to stardust to deaden the pain of rejection, she finds the strength to beat her addiction and live life on her own terms. But, just as she makes a clean break, she finds herself on a desolate alien planet, taken into custody by a powerful cyborg determined to break her and get the information he needs.

A failed marriage proved to cyborg Quint Stroud that duty and love don't mix, so he's dedicated himself to C-Force, fighting for justice in the galaxy. He's now facing the toughest assignment of his career: protecting the life of a unique intelligent alien species on planet Sajave from a corrupt Earth president who would destroy it. Saving the alien will require help from an insider—the president's complicit, reprobate daughter. He vows to do whatever it takes to coerce her cooperation.

But nothing is as it seems. Quint discovers the gutsy, vulnerable woman needs his protection as much as the alien does, and Sandy suspects Quint's fierce, almost robotic appearance and manner hide a wounded heart. When they team up in a last-ditch effort to save the alien, they'll unleash a maelstrom of vengeance that could destroy their future or even their lives.

Maelstrom is the exciting, tempestuous final book in the Cyborg Force series.

It’s lick-the-plate good Excerpt from Surrender Love #MMRomance #WeWriWa #SundaySnippet

It's lick-the-plate good Excerpt from Surrender Love #MMRomance

This scene is Luc and Izzorah's first dinner together in Luc's penthouse, and there is more on the menu than just food...

Excerpt

After dinner, Luc and Izzorah enjoyed a light wine while they tore into massive slices of cheesecake topped with a thick sauce of fresh cherries in brandy.

"Oh, stars, that was good." Izzorah put down his fork. "If my father hadn't raised me to be polite, I swear I'd lick my plate. That was the best dessert ever." He leaned back in his chair. "I probably ate way too much, but I was hungry."

"Same here. No worry. I'm sure we'll work it off." Luc's plate still held crumbles of crust from the cheesecake, along with a smear of cherries. "You know, since you and I are alone..." On impulse, he lifted the dessert plate and while holding Izzorah's gaze, gave it a long, slow lick.

Izzorah giggled, biting his lip. He picked up his plate as well and gave it a quick pass with the tip of his tongue.

Luc stroked his tongue across the plate, taking his time, letting his gaze tell Izzorah how delicious it tasted—and felt.

Color rose in Izzorah's cheeks. His lashes lowered. He performed a far more thorough lick. He gave Luc a sultry smile and then gave an even longer, slower lick along the edge of the plate. The soft wet barbs on his tongue glistened in the light.

Stifling an oath, Luc struggled for composure. His lightheadedness had nothing to do with the surfeit of sugar.

The Neighbor You Don't Know by Shane Shepherd

After countless years of preparation Mission Terra Firme One is finally ready to commence and give Earth the answers it has long waited for, about the planet Neighbor.

The TSS Cartographer is about to arrive and its First Officer Baldwin "call me Win" Tavares believes that he might just be able to touch his hand to that rocky ground. That would be enough to learn everything about their old Neighbors, the things they'd done and what they'd left behind.

But not everyone is as kind-hearted or has such noble intentions, and Neighbor holds more mysteries than anyone could have imagined.

Exploring it might open the gates for a flood that threatens to drown everything. Win must make decisions that hold his, and the lives of all around him, at stake.

Reader review: The Neighbor You Don't Know reminds of early Asimov work.

Color the Characters and then Read the Books #Coloring #Creative #MFRWhooks

Color the Characters and then Read the Books #Coloring #Creative #MFRWhooks This week, I’m sharing giveaways that I developed with my son Jamin, who’s a graphic designer. Do you like to color? You are in luck.

Together, Jamin and I created coloring books for my various books and characters. You can download seven of them for free right on this website.

The first book, Unstoppable Heroes and Heroines, features characters found in almost every one of my books.

Peril — the Immortal’s Game is a unique coloring book. It has characters but also a maze and multi-sided dice to color.

Dragons and their symbols appears in most stories where Pietas is a character. Do you like flowers and butterflies? There are two coloring books that showcase those.

You can download them, print them, color to your heart’s content, and then click the link inside the book and come back to the page where you got it to download again. You are also welcome to share them with friends.

What do you use to color?

You can pick up inexpensive boxes of crayons and take yourself back to your childhood. When I color, I use several sets of colored pencils and pens. My favorite type is gel because the colors are so rich and bright. This gel pen set has 30 unique colors and they’re only $8.99. If you have Amazon Prime you can get them without shipping fees.  They are acid-free, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly.

Want to know when more free coloring books are added to the site? Sign up for my newsletter and you’ll have first dibs on new ones. You’ll be first to know when my next book is released, plus you’ll get access to exclusive content limited to members.

Thank you for stopping by. Please say hello or leave a note in the comments. Do you like coloring? What is your favorite thing to color? What do you use?
