On July 1st, it had been 12 years since my first story was published. CELESTIAL SEDUCTION is an MF Alien Romance that I wrote thanks to the prodding from some authors I met through a weekly blog hop called Six Sentence Sunday. It was for a submission call for the 1Night Stand line at Decadent Publishing. I still remember the shock and subsequent emotions I felt when I received the offer of acceptance. My first round of edits made me want to cry. It was extremely colorful, but the colors did nothing to cheer me up. But, I plodded through them and was elated when my story released July 1, 2011. I've written, revised, edited, submitted, had published, and published on my own many stories since then.
Though my first stories were about aliens, I've branched out a bit, writing about Clones, Far Away Worlds, a Post-Apocalyptic Earth, many Futuristic Militaries, Galactic Royalty, and Zombies! Branching into the Paranormal World, I've told stories of Shifters, Witches, Phoenix, and Gargoyles! My stories have included many pairings, including MF, MM, FF, MMF, MFM, and relationships involving non-binary characters with more to come. In some worlds, I've written about some males (omegas) who are able to get pregnant.
Most of the time, when I write a series, I stick with the same type of story throughout the series. If it's MF Aliens, that's all you'll get. If it's MM MPreg Shifters, you'll have plenty of them. But, with my new series (I've just completed the second draft of the first book), the only commonality is the area of space it takes place in, and the idea of space racers (a spinoff of my Kaddim Brothers series). The first book is a MMMF Polyamorous SciFi Romance. Another is an NB/F Online Dating SciFi Romance. There's an MF One Bed SciFi Romance. A M/DemiF Action/Suspense SciFi Romance. And the last I have planned is an FM MPreg SciFi Romance. Those are just the main characters. On our own planet, things aren't as binary as some would like to believe. And I want to show the diversity in my own universes. I hope you're excited to take the journey through the quadrants with me in Romance Tales from the Quadrants!
