Life has become really busy lately what with a new job and The Daughter’s final year of non-university volleyball coming to a close, but I’ve finally found a few minutes to let everyone know that I’ve signed another contract with The Wild Rose Press, for my next novella, REAL LOVE.

To be released around Valentine’s Day 2016 for TWRP’s CANDY HEART SERIES, REAL LOVE is a sci-fi romance. No need to worry if sci-fi is not your thing, and my apologies to any hardcore sci-fi fans who are saying “yea, me”…but what makes this sci-fi is simply that it takes place on a space ship and that my heroine, Monda, although looking very much like you and I, is not from our planet. (Assuming your planet is also earth. If not, well…)

As a young girl, our heroine, Monda was placed into the tutelage of Mistress Teevac for the purpose of improving her empathic skills, to eventually be sold to a new mate and master. Regardless of her upbringing, Monda wants a life – and a love – of her own choosing. When her spaceship crashes (on a purple planet, perhaps like the one above) on the way to her prearranged life, Monda’s eyes – and heart – are opened to other possibilities.

When our hero, Lieutenant Patrick Lancaster, looks at the exotic Monda, he sees beautiful, not alien. But there is no point in following through on his feelings, as soon as Monda’s guardian wakes from her coma, the two women will be leaving on their way to Monda’s new mate and new life.
