The SFR Brigade Showcase is the chance for our Science Fiction Romance authors to showcase excerpts from their latest releases, snippets from a work-in-progress, a new cover for their book or just have fun with something silly, like a character interview!
I've been flying high this week with the release of my sci-fi romance novella, Mission to New Earth.
Earth’s overpopulation and dwindling resources force the
United Earth Space Agency to expedite exploration of new planets for a possible
new home. When new crises ensue—a giant tsunami and the threat of nuclear
winter—the timeline changes. Eight years of training crammed into four. Sara
Grenard and her team prepare for launch, but are they ready for the one-way
trip? Will the Goldilocks planet prove just right for Earth’s inhabitants?
Before time runs out.
Then only Marsh and I were left.
I strolled up to the man I loved
and put my arms around his waist. When I rested my head on his chest, I heard
the thud of his heart. Normally, a reassuring sound that always made me go weak
in the knees, it beat more rapidly than usual. He was still agitated.
“Hey, guy. Everything will be all
right. We’re ready. More than ready.”
“I know. It’s just—”
Leaning back in his arms, I reached
up and patted his cheek. “Settle down, big boy. I think Bill and Ana have the
right idea. From Gloria’s blush, she and Tom do, too.” I gave him a long kiss.
At first, he didn’t respond—still worked up over the latest simulation. Then he
gave in, as I knew he would. Not to be smug, but Marsh did like my kisses.
His kiss turned hard, demanding, as
he strained to maintain control. I wanted him that much, too. But not on the
tile floor in the lav. The shower had possibilities. When he eyed the
enclosure, I knew he was thinking the same thing. Too bad I had other
obligations. That was me, duty first. I could be such a stick-in-the-mud.
Check out my blog to see where I am on my blog tour and enter a giveway for an Amazon GC.
