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?

An oncoming storm blackened the sky #PietasFans #SciFi #MFRWhooks

Forged in Fire: Bringer of Chaos - #SciFi #SpaceOpera

Pietas, Joss, and a few others are heading for shelter, while a storm is bearing down on them.

Excerpt Forged in Fire

"Pietas." Joss faced him. "If we're not inside before the storm hits, we could be killed. Until you've been through a hailstorm on this planet, you haven't even seen bad weather."

"I've been in several since we landed. Got a broken arm to prove it." He rubbed his forearm. "Not to mention a headache worthy of a cracked skull. Let's go."

The sky turned tornado-green. A few fat drops of rain slid down Pietas's neck, leaving a cold trail in the heat. A few others smacked his hair and face. These scouts warned of the threatening army advancing.

Higher up, ominous thunderclouds glowed a menacing pink and orange.

They picked up the pace.

In the distance, the oncoming storm blackened the sky. The wind whistled, calling its dogs to hunt.

Stormsinger and Pietas - Dragon & Immortal #SciFi #Dragons

My character Pietas has always been the villain, but I had it in my head to write his origin story. I knew he was well aquainted with storms, personal, psychic, physical, and spiritual. So when I wanted to create a dragon for him to have as a spirit animal, I knew the dragon would have something to do with storms as well.
It turns out, his dragon can summon storms by singing to the wind and sky, and his color is white, icy blue, and turquoise. Stormsinger and Pietas met on the planet Stachien in the Colonies of Man. I haven't written that story yet, so I have no details.

Art is by Jamin Allen, my son, although I have done extensive work on both the dragon and Pietas. This image was created back in 2015, before I'd found the cosplay/model Nik Nitsvetov, who is an absolute dead ringer for Pietas.

Watch Jamin create the Pietas image in this speed-drawing video. You'll also get a peek at the real life model he used as the inspiration for the drawing.

What an irresistible offer of help #SciFi #MMRomance #MFRWhooks

What an irresistible offer of help #WriteLGBTQ #SciFi #PietasFans #MMRomance

Aware Luc will be gone part of the day, Izzorah asks if there is any way he can help.

Excerpt Surrender Love

A *hot* breakfast with Luc #Excerpt Surrender Love #SciFi #MMromance #MFRWhooks"Help?" A slow smile crossed Luc's face. "I may need a long, hot, sudsy shower and then help getting dry afterward."

Izzorah's throat tightened. A tender ache had him squirming in his seat. He offered a not-so-innocent smile. "We had that kind of shower before breakfast."

"Yes, we did." The man trailed a fingertip farther up Izzorah's arm, causing him to flush with heat. "But between now and then, I intend to work up a sweat. I'm going to need another one."

Izzorah squirmed again, spreading his legs farther apart.

"And then I'll need help to dress. Tuxedo affair. I'll teach you how to fasten everything. It's complicated. We may have to take everything off and put it back on a few times so you can practice."

They rose together and leaned across the table. Izzorah gripped Luc's robe to pull him close, deepening their kiss. The table dug into his thighs.

McDoth's return with milk and coffee broke them apart.

Izzorah felt his cheeks flame.

Luc reseated himself, a self-satisfied smile on his gorgeous face.

Biting into his lower lip, Izzorah resisted the urge to cast breakfast aside and feast on Luc instead.

The android poured more coffee and left.

The size of Luc's dark hands as they wrapped the white mug brought back memories of the night before. Those hands had held him, turned him, lifted him. Loved him. Izzorah had given himself over in complete trust. He'd rested in Luc's strong arms. Those loving hands had bathed him, soaped his chest and shampooed his hair. Those same hands had dried his skin and hair, lifting strands with patient fingers as he blew it dry.

Izzorah swallowed, his throat tight.
