Science Fiction Romance #SALE

www.smschmitz.com/promo

Ready to load up on Science Fiction Romance books? Big Sale. Some are free; others are 99 cents.

You can find two of my books there for 99 cents each.

The Pilot, a stand alone book, kicks off the Outer Rim series about strong women on the frontier of space.

Sparks fly around the Outer Rim when rule-bound Administrator Trevarr Jovano clashes with free-spirited space pilot Celara d'Enfaden. She must deliver her cargo or lose her ship to a loanshark. Having lost her last shipment to pirates masquerading as Coalition Inspectors, Celara refuses to be duped again. Determined to make an example of those who flaunt the law, Trevarr seizes her ship. Yet, they must work together to rescue her brother and find his wife's murderer.

Kidnapped by aliens? By mistake?

When wise-cracking Jessie Wyndom is beamed from her farmhouse in Ann Arbor, MI aboard an Alliance starship, she meets a regular Mr. Spock. Captain Marcus Viator's well-organized life is turned upside down by a free-spirited Terran. Fate brings them together. Treachery tears them apart.

Switched was my first published novel. Because of that, it has a special place in my heart.

Many of my favorite authors also have books in the sale. Now's a great time to load up your e-reader with stories that are out of this world.

New Year New Books #NewBooks4Me

Did you get an Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Kobo gift card for Christmas or Hanukkah? Here's a chance to get more for your bucks. The authors listed below (and me) are offering 99 cent books. 

Have you read my book SWITCHED? I have a special place in my heart for this science fiction romance. It was my first published novel. The heroine, Jessie, is such a wise-cracker, especially when she's nervous. Unlike Jessie, I can never think of come backs until hours later.

As if being kidnapped by aliens isn't bad enough, Jessie Wyndom discovers they grabbed her by mistake. She wise cracks past her fear especially when she learns she was part of an experiment separating Terran twins before birth. Her twin just took Jessie's place back in Ann Arbor, Michigan while she gets to twiddle her thumbs on an Alliance of Planets starship. The only good part is the hunky captain. Except. He's so unemotional he could be Mr. Spock's double.

Captain Marcus Viator's well-organized life is turned upside down by the free-spirited female from Earth. Problems with the starship prevent him from returning her to her home. Fate brings them together. Treachery tears them apart. Is their love strong enough to reunite them?

Last Day For a Plethora of Free & Discounted Books #SFRBlast

Last Day

http://smschmitz.com/promo

Oh, happy day! Five days, actually. Another chance to get free or 99-cent science fiction romance books. I love participating in this promotion. I'm a reader, too. (Like you didn't know that. Hahaha) So I'm going to shop my heart out.

The Pilot (An Outer Rim Novel), on sale for $.99, is the first book in my Outer Rim series about strong women on the frontier of space. This book was so much fun to write. Most of my books are, some more than others. I love the feisty, short, red-headed Celara. More than that, I love the interaction between her and the hard-nose administrator Trevarr. She won't give an inch and neither does he . . . until he needs her help.

Each book in the Outer Rim series is a standalone. You don't have to read them in the order they were written.

Blurb:

Life on the frontier of space is hard enough so when pirates stole Celara d'Enfaden's cargo, she vowed not to be tricked again. Determined to make an example out of indie pilots who disobey orders, Coalition Administrator Trevarr Jovano impounds Celara’s starship and cargo. If he backs down, he’ll lose respect. If she can’t deliver her cargo, she’ll default on her loan and lose her only home—her ship. More important than her ship, though, is her brother. To rescue him from a galactic gangster, she’ll even work with Jovano who is bent on avenging his wife’s murder.

The Pilot is available at Amazon, B&N, Kobo, iBooks, ARe, Smashwords.

Note: as of this morning, iBooks has priced The Pilot at $1.99. I'm working on getting that fixed.

I hope you find many terrific books to download. I know I will. I think I'll have to live another fifty years (at least) to read all the books on my Kindle.

A Plethora of Free & Discounted Books #SFRBlast

As you can see from the banner, over forty authors of science fiction romance are offering free and discounted books. 

For the past few months, I've thought about offering my first sci-fi romance SWITCHED at a discount--99 cents instead of $3.99. This promotion made the decision for me.

I loved writing SWITCHED, and that's after a whole string of rejections for straight romance. I wrote it for fun. I've often talked here and on Paranormal Romantics blog  that I'm crazy about space, about the possibility that we're not alone in the universe. To smash up a quote from the movie Contact. if we were alone wouldn't that be a waste of space?

So I started playing the what-if game. What if aliens came close enough to Earth to observe us? What if they glommed onto our satellites and our entertainment signals? What if they occasionally transported a celebrity aboard to entertain the crew? What if they got the signals mixed up and transported the wrong person? 

SWITCHED is the first book in the Switched series. It is complete in itself.

Here's the blurb:

As if being kidnapped by aliens isn't bad enough, Jessie Wyndom discovers they grabbed her by mistake. She wise cracks past her fear especially when she learns she was part of an experiment separating Terran twins before birth. Her twin just took Jessie's place back in Ann Arbor, Michigan while she gets to twiddle her thumbs on an Alliance of Planets starship. The only good part is the hunky captain. Except. He's so unemotional he could be Mr. Spock's double.


Captain Marcus Viator's well-organized life is turned upside down by the free-spirited female from Earth. Problems with the starship prevent him from returning her to her home. Fate brings them together. Treachery tears them apart. Is their love strong enough to reunite them?
