Sci-Fi with a Slant – The Anchor of Time by Tina Capricorn @tinasammich #SciFi #Speculative #BookFair

Kayelle Allen 02/20/2022 Science Fiction Books

The Anchor of Time definitely has some fresh takes on old tropes. For one, the 'chosen one' main heroine is a hair stylist, and I for one have not read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi with a time traveling hair stylist. There is a psychic Tardigrade that changes appearances depending on who it has a psychic link with (their appearance is just a projection of what you want to see), and there is also a sentient quantum computer. Combined with dimensional shift in every chapter, as well the end is also the beginning because the story is told in a time loop.

You'll find these characters mentioned in many books in my story universe.

Kayelle Allen 02/18/2022 Science Fiction Books

Mongrel, a creature more wolf than man, leads a lonely life on the fringes of pack society—until the night a handsome vampire shows up with a mysterious request.

Bowie, a vampire cursed to a life of endless nights, maintains close ties with his human family. When young girls in their village go missing, he must act quickly.

But to find them, he'll need to convince the local werewolf pack to loan him their best tracker—a wolf known as the Mongrel.

Though he hates the slur, Andras is used to being called Mongrel.

When Bowie refuses to refer to him by anything but his given name, Andras can't help a flicker of unexpected trust toward the stranger.

He volunteers to help Bowie, risking banishment.

Can two tenderhearted men overcome their traumatic pasts and work together to rescue the girls before it's too late? Or will the world's most prolific killer snuff the flames of their passion along with the lives of the captives?

It took only one word to stop him in his tracks #Excerpt from A Broken Heart #SciFi

Kayelle Allen 02/15/2022 Character Insights 8 Comments

As usual, Khyff's master hadn't allowed him to eat until he'd met his quota. First up: shower, clean clothes, food. Not necessarily in that order. He kept a few stale crackers hidden in his room for emergencies. He'd satisfied his last client, and was unscheduled the rest of the day. Or at least the next six hours.

Khyff bolted toward freedom.

"So you're an Antonello."

The way the client said it drew Khyff's attention. This particular client was one of the less odious. He didn't grab or cling, he was--thankfully--clean, and he tipped well. Still, the guy was paying for sex and Khyff had no choice. Being a pleasure slave meant you serviced the clients sent to you, or you suffered for it. In Khyff's case, refusing meant risking prison.

He would never go back there, no matter what they made him do here.

Khyff clenched his teeth and pasted on a smile. "Pardon?"

"Your last name." The guy continued getting dressed, seemingly in no hurry. "It's Antonello, right?"

"Why?"

"I never noticed before. It's right here on my receipt." He picked up his mobile and turned the screen toward Khyff. "I mean I've been here what... five times now?" He poked at the screen. "Whoa! Seven. Huh. I should have a free visit after three more."

Khyff choked back a retort. His master was giving away free visits with him? It would take hundreds of client visits to earn enough in his Freedom Savings Account so Khyff could buy himself. If his master was giving him away, it would take forever.

Khyff jerked open the door.

"You don't look like the other one."

Half a step into the hall, Khyff's heart stuttered. He made a slow pivot. "Other one?"

"The other Antonello. You look different."

The world went silent. Khyff came inside, shut the door and leaned against it. "So I'm sure I heard right. You know another Antonello."

"Yeah. I saw the name, and figured you had to be related. Antonello's not common. Not on Kelthia. I'm guessing you don't have much family here."

Good guess. More than three quarters of the world's population was black-skinned. Khyff had blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin.

Could this be a link to his missing mother? Did the client know her? Khyff fought the hope that rose within him. It had been how many years? No, he would not allow himself to hope. When you hoped, people could hurt you more.

Like Zombies? Read Ghost Ranger by Dayne Edmondson @dayne87 #SciFi #Zombies

Kayelle Allen 02/11/2022 Science Fiction Books

My name is Rachel.

I was an ordinary high school girl when a viral plague spread across my planet. Those like me that died rose again returned as mindless zombies. Fortunately, science came to the rescue and gave me back my mind.

As a conscious zombie, I gained exceptional powers – speed, strength and more.

That, plus a secret heritage, changed my life forever.

The outside world didn't accept my kind, however, and soon I decided to join the military.

I trained to become an Army Ranger.

Now, as an elite undead killing machine, I must make a choice.

Allegiance to my kind or to the Federation.

Choose wrong and I could die…for good.

Another installment in the Seven Stars Universe by Dayne Edmondson, this is a young adult space opera adventure novel set a few years before his space opera novel "Emergence" and featuring a major character from the third book, "Ruin."

Pick up now to jump into the adventure.

Read Renegade a new #SciFi short story by Céline Glaude @CelineGlaude #WriteLGBTQ

Kayelle Allen 02/09/2022 Science Fiction Books

Renegade is available on Amazon

About Celine Glaude

Céline Glaude withdraws from reality as often as possible. She believes in magic, dragons, alternate dimensions, and aliens, and she is patiently waiting for the Doctor to take her on adventures in space and time.

She was raised on crawfish, Disney movies, musicals, epic fantasy, Star Trek, and Westerns, so creating stories seems logical to her. As a new author, she specializes in genre-hopping. Be prepared for anything from vampires to dark heroines or even elves and escapades in space.

She is from the deep South and enjoys spending as much time as possible with her family. She loves to read and is usually in the midst of three or more books at any given time. When she is not immersed in all things book-related, Céline dabbles in makeup, gardening and makes one hell of a gumbo.

Tracking Trouble: An LGBT Dark Fantasy by Aldrea Alien @AldreaAlien #WriteLGBTQ #Fantasy

Kayelle Allen 01/30/2022 Fantasy Books

For years, Tracker's life has had two facets: Hunting spellsters and entertaining strangers in his bed. Few doubt he's good at both, although only one is considered acceptable amongst the King's Hounds. His trip to Toptower should be just another task in an endless string of routine. Take down any dangerous spellster he finds and send the timid ones to Demarn's tower prison.

It is a role he was born to play. One he has grown weary of.

But there's something off about the spellsters he's encountering. The people he typically finds aren't usually this powerful or anywhere near as lethal to a man immune to magic. It's as if something, or someone, is releasing them with an eye to weaken an already harried kingdom.

To what end, he cannot be certain of. History is littered with the dangers of magic running unchecked.

He must uncover the truth, and quickly.

But with all leads pointing one way, will he be able to uphold the code of the King's Hounds once he finds it?

Spare me the theatrics #Excerpt from A Stolen Heart #PietasFans #SciFi #MFRWhooks

Kayelle Allen 01/26/2022 MM Romance 5 Comments

With Pietas, the truth was often in what wasn't said as much as what was. "Then you hired some lackey to do it."

"A king has no need for lackeys." Pietas drew back a lock of silver hair and flipped it behind his shoulder. "I command soldiers. Or if needed, I ask a favor. Like I did you."

"You asked someone to kidnap this child for you, then you put her into the Guild and asked me to find her."

"I told you. I did not kidnap her."

"If you asked someone to do it, it's kidnapping!" He snapped the wineglass stem, stabbing his hand. He dropped the pieces and pressed a thumb against the cut. The blood staunched. The cut healed within seconds. "Don't skirt the truth. You thrust that child into danger to get what you wanted."

"Spare me the theatrics." Pietas flipped a hand. "The girl wasn't harmed."

"The Guild told her that her parents were dead. They isolated her! She's a Better. Are you aware what the Guild does to non-humans?"

"Betters are human."

"Not to the Guild."

"They are human." Pietas turned his back. "I should know. I designed them. Genetic manipulation is my role in this lifetime."

"As I said, not to the Guild. I rescued a HalfKin child today. They'd been locking him in a windowless room in the dark as punishment. They fed him from a bowl on the floor. He's three. Was that harmless?"

"That's barbaric." Pietas grimaced. "Why would the Guild do that?"

"Because he isn't human. Imagine what they'd do if they discovered what I am."
