Blog postBy Maureen Bonatch
We all have a lot on our plate, and if you’re anything like me, you’re continuously wanting to do all the things! Unfortunately, I’ve yet to discover a way to add more time in the day, or days in the week, to do all the things. Instead I shave a little time off my sleep, work through lunch, say no to that fun outing, or trade relaxation time for crossing more things off my list.
This method may result in taking care of some of that To-Do list, bu2 days ago Read more -
Blog postHere we are on the 1st of March. Am I the only person who can't believe we're two months into 2021? That the covid-19 pandemic has been around for over a year?
I'm always encouraged when February is behind us. Spring is coming. Truly, it is. Never mind we still have at least half a foot of snow on the ground, but the streets are clear. Thank you, snowplow drivers and our dear neighbor who keeps our driveway clear.

Blog postBeta Readers
A beta reader is person who reads a manuscript for the good, bad, and the ugly, confusing or clever plot points, terrific or terrible scenes, or poorly or exceptionally written characters. It’s the way everyone reads a book, only now you’re asking someone to keep notes. A beta reader isn’t paid, but a token thanks such as a copy of the book is common. If you have cash for advice, don’t use a beta reader. Hire a professional.

Blog postWhen others talk about writing, and how solitary of a craft it can be, you might be inclined to think about a person sitting alone in a silent room, pouring over their novel. But, at least for me, it's quite the opposite. Sure, if you want to be a writer, you have to get the words out of your lovely head and onto a page for another human to read, but there's so much more to it than just the writing part. Easily, one of the most important parts is having a critique partner.

Blog postA long time ago in a land far far away, an inspiring author devoured novels in the burgeoning trope of SciFi romance. Finally, two of her favorite genres merged. But one thing about those stories bothered her. Why is it most of these books had the woman "kidnapped" or "stolen"? That got her thinking, what if an earth woman was given a choice?

That quote is particularly relevant over the past year. How we deal with change says a lot about our character. I've been known to grouse, complain, and cry over changes.

Lora Dharma Callahan excitedly agrees to leave Earth to attend “The Exchange” and meet the alien mate of her dreams. Instead of finding true love, she’s forcibly kidnapped and held captive by an alien lunatic who plans to take over the galaxy. He’s going to use her to create a serum that will ultimately enslave every human female on Earth. But no emperor wannabe is going to keep this girl down. Lora will find a way to save not only herself, but her planet as well.

When the opportunity arises to insinuate himself in the suspected traitor’s stronghold, he doesn’t hesitate to use his infiltration skills. While there, he encounters Lora, whom he soon recognizes as his TrueBond. The only problem…she’s imprisoned and scheduled for experiments that will destroy her.

In this exciting finale of the An Alien Exchange trilogy, follow their adventures across the galaxy to a tale that features mounting action, stimulating passion, and heart-pounding emotions.
Sherrilyn Marie Cantor firmly believes success doesn’t come to those who sit around and wait for it to show up; it takes determination, discipline, and hard work. At thirty-four, she has it all – a successful business and more money than she can spend until a jealous partner sets her up and frames her for stealing trade secrets. She loses everything and faces a twenty-year federal prison sentence. When an unexpected offer to find “love among the stars” comes her way, she doesn’t hesitate to escape her unjust fate and leaves Earth forever.
A Zerin descended from a secretive line of dragon shapeshifters, M’alalu (Ki) Ki E’eur ignores the fact he’s living a half-life.

A former mercenary and friend of the crown prince of Zerin, Ki absorbs a debt his prince intended to take. He’s expendable; the prince isn’t. Now he’s in the crosshairs of a power-hungry despot determined to overthrow the current democratic galactic government.
In a twist of fate, two very different people are thrown together—a woman who believes love is a fable and a male who has made an ancient pact to never find his TrueBond.

Leaving Earth to find love shouldn’t be this complicated…
When Chloe Reid ends up on the FBI’s most wanted list, the offer from the Alien Exchange fits right into her plans. Who cares if she has to hook up with an alien? It’s not like she really expects love or anything. She’s been burned more than once and doubts the fairytale. The only thing on her agenda is staying far, far away from the Feds’ grubby little hands.
Prince Aylzrunth from Runihura has his own problems. Not only is he a male in a matriarchal society, but as Captain of the Royal Guards, he’s solely responsible for his sister, the heir to the throne. When she mysteriously disappears, he vows he’ll do anything to find her. Forbidden to go off-planet to search, he abandons his post and joins the Alliance of Assassins. They’ll help him…for a price.
Along the way, he interrupts the kidnapping of an Earth woman from the Exchange. He saves the captivating female, but now she’s his responsibility. Unfortunately, he’s not allowed to make her his own. His only option is to ignore his building desire for her and maintain a chilly distance.
Chloe appreciates the rescue, but she doesn’t appreciate the attitude. With no option but to work together, Chloe and Aylzrunth journey to find his missing sister. Along the way, they’re joined by a snarky spybot, a sentient ship with a crush on Chloe, and Chloe’s Mama who doesn’t let the vastness of space stop her from calling at the most inconvenient times.
Can two stubborn people stop griping at each other long enough to give in to the greatest adventure of all – love?
She was created to destroy him, but fell in love instead...
Just his luck, alien-hybrid Ben Duncan is the only one for the job. Being an empath and a financial wizard, he’s called in to uncover an essential ally at a small regional bank in Vegas to thwart a plot his alien ancestors, the Akurns, seemed to have started there. If their heinous plans are successful, the global economy would crash and weaken mankind for their invasion in less than five short months. When Ben arrives at his assignment as a covert consultant, he meets the intriguing Julienne and is alarmed at the intense attraction he has for her. He’d love to indulge in his obsession with the delectable woman, but knows he has no choice but to stay as far away from her as possible. The fate of billions don’t leave time for anything personal.
As senior vice-president, Julienne King leads a stressful life immersed in organizing a huge merger for a local bank in Vegas. And meeting some arrogant, hotter-than-hell, aloof outside consultant makes things worse. When she stumbles on an insidious money laundering scheme that threatens the global economy, she’s caught and kidnapped by one of her hateful bosses. While in captivity, she’s threatened with alien experimentation, death, or both. But what shocks her the most is she may not be who or what she thought she was.
Now it’s a race against time. Can a banker and an alien-hybrid overcome their misconceptions and to not only work together, but to realize their love is the key to mankind’s salvation?
