Sure wish I'd thought to say it in that way when I was trying to explain it to my friends and family, but brevity is definitely not my forte. :) <br />Thank you too for the kinds words. I hope that after you read Trapped you'll get in touch. I'd love to hear what you think.

I am writing the second in the series now and learning more and more about this raw, harsh planet and the people who are able to not only survive, but find a way to love and flourish. The next in the series takes place in the depths of the planet in a prison mining camp--and it's HOT down there in the depths in more ways than one. :) Alison Aimeshttp://www.alisonaimes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-47414108040552769912016-02-29T10:09:50.644-05:002016-02-29T10:09:50.644-05:00Hi Connie.

I think my favorite position is probably legs up the wall so, given my training, I'd never make it in a harsh world like Dragath25 where Trapped takes place, but it does help me survive a lot of hours in front of the computer.

It feels like an especially big score as scifi romance isn't even your first love. :) I write steamy contemporary romances as well and enjoy the different pace of those as well, but writing this scifi romance (my first in this genre) has definitely made me want to write more.

One of the most fun parts of writing Trapped was experiencing how the hero, who'd shut down in an effort to survive such a harsh, violent place and become almost animal-like, changed as a result of his interaction with the heroine. It definitely wasn't always a comfortable or easy change for him.
