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.

Hey #PietasFans - the Bringer of Chaos is in the Self-Published Science Fiction Competition #SPSFC2 @theSPSFC #SciFi

Ten book bloggers, up to 300 science fiction novels, a year of reading and reviewing. The SPSFC will end up with seven finalists and one winner. Next year, they will do it all over again. Just better. Faster. Stronger. Learning and improving as they go.

The winner gets a badge and a blaster set to “stunning.” Most importantly, they get heaps of recognition and bragging rights. All the finalists and many of the entries will naturally get more eyeballs on their books, which is what authors and eye-eating aliens crave the most.

NOT asking for votes

This contest is judged on merit and has a series of judges and levels of success.

Wish me luck!

“Just part of the circus that is my life” #MMRomance #SciFi #MFRWhooks

"Just part of the circus that is my life" #MMRomance #SciFi #MFRWhooks

In this scene, due to an injury Izzorah suffered previously, he is taking pain medication. It makes him a little high. He and Luc have ventured outside towards a long black hoversine, and a thousand of Izzorah's fans are waiting. When he and Luc appear, a cheer goes up.

Excerpt

Izzorah hung back and Luc waited beside him. "They're all friends, Izzorah. This is a party. Wave." Luc raised his hand and Izzorah lifted his.

The cheer was deafening.

Izzorah smiled, but his chest rose and fell rapidly, his lips a faint blue.

"Relax, Izzorah. Focus on me. Deep breath in. Let it all out."

Izzorah sucked in a gulp of air, blew it out.

"Good. Now, do it again. In... out. You're doing well. Wave again."

Izzorah did so. "Wow." He rubbed his eyes. "This pain pill is making me see things. The sky is full of colors."

"You're not hallucinating. Those are balloons. Someone's handing them out."

"Someone's handing out balloons?" Izzorah sounded incredulous. "Are you sure? That's crazy."

"Don't let it rattle you. It's part of the circus that is my life, although, thankfully, there aren't usually balloons."

For adults who like to color! A free sci-fi romance coloring book #Coloring #SciFi #Romance

Download a set of 7 free coloring books #Coloring #ColoringBooks #SciFi #SpaceOpera 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 and color it yourself.

The first, Unstoppable Heroes and Heroines, features characters found in almost every one of my books. The Antonello Brothers has characters found in At the Mercy of Her Pleasure and For Women Only.

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

Pietas — the Bringer of Chaos has over a dozen dragons. Pietas dreams about dragons and their symbolism appears in his stories. In a future book, he will bond with one. Do you like flowers and butterflies? There are two coloring books that showcase those.

Why Coloring is Good for You

Anxiety and stress is controlled by the amygdala, a center of the brain that deals with motivation and emotion. The act of creating with color calms this portion of the brain. This part of the brain also controls the “fight or flight” response. Intense focus on a simple activity, like coloring, can calm the body and brain.

When people get together to color, the activity relieves stress, improves mood, promotes socialization, and provides an outlet for self-expression. In seniors, it can also improve dexterity and hand-eye coordination.

How odd that an activity once considered just a means to keep kids busy has become such a valued commodity in the mental health community. Coloring exercises both sides of the brain, because it uses logic as well as creativity. That adds value in terms of cognitive health and can assist with problem-solving.

But one big reason is because it’s fun to do! How long has it been since you sat down and colored? What’s stopping you? If it’s that you don’t have anything to color, I’ve got a fix for that. I offer seven free coloring books. Click, download, and print.

Color It Yourself

You can pick up inexpensive boxes of crayons and take yourself back to your childhood. I have several sets of colored pencils and pens. My favorite type is gel because the colors are so rich and bright. The Eparon gel pen set has 40 unique colors. If you have Amazon Prime you can get them without shipping fees. There are 4 standard coloring pens, 6 neon, 5 mixed pastels, 5 solid pastels, 10 glitter, and 10 metallic. They are acid-free, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. My advice is to get this set in addition to another. You’ll see suggestions for other types on my coloring book download page.

Want to know when more free coloring books are added? My newsletter subscribers get first dibs on new ones. You’ll be first to know when my next book is released, plus you’ll get access to other exclusive content.

Thank you for stopping by. Do you like coloring? What is your favorite thing to color?

If you were a worm… #SciFi #Humor

Ring of the Dragon: Heart of the Immortal King #SciFi #MMRomance

In the book Forever Love, a situation occurs that moves Pietas and Izzorah from enemies to friends. I've been writing a new story -- nothing fully plotted yet -- and this scene presented itself.

If you've read anything with Pietas in it you know he has a wry sense of humor and irony.

Here, the two men just happen to be in the same room, and the unendingly curious Izzorah asks a question. I set this up like a play, but if I use it, I'll be adding action and dialog tags.

Izzorah: Pietas, if you were a worm, what kind of soil would you be in?

Pietas: I'm sorry. If I was a what?

Izzorah: A worm.

Pietas: A worm?

Izzorah: That's what I said.

Pietas: You think of me as a worm?

Izzorah: No, of course not.

Pietas: ...

Izzorah: But what if you were though?

Pietas: ...

Izzorah: ...

Pietas: If I was a what?
