Video Book Trailer for my series, THE STAR BRIDES #scifiromance #romance #mustread

My middle son, doing business as Trubslayer and Killer Peanut, created this book trailer video for my STAR BRIDES series.  I love it. The music is so haunting.

IT'S HERE! Book 4 in The Chimeras Series - SAGE #romance #scifi #dystopian #alieninvasion

So very excited!  SAGE, Book 4 in The Chimeras Series is now available on Amazon. 

Blurb:

The invasion of an alien race known as the Friem has left humanity cowering in fear and hiding in underground bunkers as the invaders ravage the planet. The surviving humans are hunted to be used as slave labor, and those who fight are killed. For what remains of the resistance, resources are slim and time is running out.

Like all of her half sisters, Sage was genetically enhanced for the fight against the Friem. Bred to be a warrior, she’s tough, bitchy, and mean, and there isn’t a damn person on the planet who can best her in a fight. A law unto herself, she gives little thought to what people think of her because if something needs doing, she knows she’s the one they call. The only person she really needs is herself, until Gideon enters the picture.  As the only pilot around who can provide the training she needs, she’ll do whatever it takes to work with him. When playing nice to get what she wants subtly changes to something more, will Sage let him in? Or will this tough-as-nails warrior fight those feelings to the bitter end?

Reaching a Personal Goal! #scifi #scifiromance #romance #plparker #alieninvasion

We all have goals, and none of them are the same for the most part.  My goal is to finish all six books in my Chimeras series.  I have already published SAFFRON and POPPY, and I'm almost finished with the third in the series, GINGER. 

The Chimeras are genetically engineered females. They are faster, stronger, with keen intellect, eyesight and hearing, and they were bred to lead humanity's fight for survival after the alien invasion. 

Each girl has her special abilities, engineered by their birth mother and the sperm of a chosen male, one with superior intelligence in his given field. Saffron is a born leader, Poppy a healer, Ginger a teacher, Sage the warrior, Anise the computer brainiac and, lastly, Thyme, born with a combination of all the abilities of her older sisters.  

I've had a good time writing these stories.  So many ideas keep popping into my head for each girl, and I'm using my less-than-brainiac mind to keep track of those ideas.  

I hope you will take the time to read SAFFRON's story and, perhaps, it will tantalize you enough to keep reading.

Just in Time for Christmas - December 5 - RELEASE DAY - SAFFRON! #dystopian #scifibooks #romancebooks #mustreads

 

Just in time for Christmas. DECEMBER 5 - RELEASE DAY! SAFFRON! And it's also my birthday so doubly special!

SAFFRON is Book 1 in my new series, The Chimeras. 

Blurb:  The alien invasion has left humanity teetering on the brink of total annihilation. The survivors need an edge, and fierce huntress Saffron sets out to make that happen. Smart, fast, strong, with razor keen senses, all Saff really cares about is wiping the invaders from the face of planet Earth. But life has a way of changing and when the hunter, Gabe, tracks her to the underground fortress, her world takes on new meaning.

Here's the Amazon link:

Excerpt:

By now, the rain had increased to a steady stream. Thunder rolled in the distance but didn’t appear lightning was happening anywhere near them. One thing to be grateful for. He found a good spot under a tall conifer and hunkered down. Going to be a long watch. At least here under the tree, he was shielded from most of the rain but common sense warned that if it’d been a lightning storm, he’d have had to find a better place. He’d heard stories about people taking shelter under trees during a storm and not living to tell about it later. He didn’t want to be one of them. Besides that, lightning storms and the threat of fire could be a major problem and he had no desire to be caught in the middle of a forest fire. At least not in this getup! His imagination whirled. Death by forest fire and his smoking body found later, still in the stupid hat and the garbage bag.

The branches rustled and then Wolf squatted down. “Thought I’d keep you company for a while. Know I wasn’t followed but seems to be more jackers wandering the hills.” He shook his head flipping water from the dark braid. “Might be they have a camp somewhere close. Wouldn’t doubt it. Even those bastards aren’t safe from the ADs.”

“Might think they are but no one really is. Maybe they’re helping the Friems and maybe they think by helping the bastards, they’ll be safe. Wouldn’t put it past them. Not known for much brain power.”

“Makes a person wonder,” Wolf muttered. “Can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone would help them. Especially now when it looks like they might be colonizing.” He slanted an amused look in Gabe’s direction. “Nice raincoat.”

Wolf of course had a perfectly normal raincoat on, one of those plastic orange things that were sold by the millions many decades ago.

“Yours is better,” he groused feeling even more ridiculous.

“Wonder why Saff didn’t lend you hers?”

Gabe’s teeth ground together. “She has one?”

“We all do,” Wolf chuckled. “Found a whole cache of them when we opened up one of the storage rooms in the redoubt.” His chuckle grew to an outright laugh, unusual for the stern-faced male.

***

In the depths of Maggie’s tent, Saff buried her face in her coat giggling uncontrollably. Ingrid was going to kill her when she found out what she’d done with the garbage bag. They were almost like gold nowadays and Ingrid was very stingy when it came to handing them out.

Paybacks are hell she thought. But it was just too damn funny.

For a while after, she listened to their voices, so clear as to seem they were right next to her. Gabe’s low murmurs and Wolf’s replies. Talking about everything and nothing. Silly as it seemed, it made her feel safe knowing Gabe was nearby. She had this dumb idea that he would protect her. Like I need protecting. But it was nice pretending.

First thing she would do when they got back to the redoubt would be to call a sister meeting and warn the girls off, making sure they knew without doubt that she was staking a claim. Gabe was hers until she decided whether or not there was even the slightest chance of a relationship. Sage was the only one who might be a problem but Saff could handle her.

Decision made, she finally let sleep claim her.

New Cover Excitement!! #plparker #scifi #scifiromance #paranormal

There is just nothing like that feeling an author gets when they get to see their new cover for the first time, especially if it's one they love.  I have to say the new cover for my latest scifi romance novel, SAFFRON, is gorgeous!  Hopefully, if all goes well, SAFFRON will be out on the market soon.

Blurb:  Humanity is teetering on the brink of total annihilation and if something isn’t done soon, there won’t be anything left to fight for.

Saffron is different, she knows that. She’s smarter, faster, stronger, hearing and eyesight way above the norm. She’s a hunter and a good one too, and all she really cares about is killing the alien dogs and wiping the invaders from the face of good old planet Earth.

Life doesn’t always follow the path she’s chosen and when the outsider, Gabe, tracks her to the underground fortress, her world takes on new meaning.

Look for it soon!

REQUIEM - Book 4 in the Star Brides (Deg'Nara) Series, Coming in mid-April! #mustread #scifi #scifiromance #plparker

My scifi romance novel, REQUIEM, is due to be released mid-April from New Concepts Publishing.  So very excited about this one! Love the cover, and even though I wrote it, I love the story.  

Link: https://www.newconceptspublishing.com/

Blurb:  

The rebels are losing the intergalactic war.

They need a prototype of the Deg’Nara’s latest weapon, a planet-killer, to survive. A covert operations team is tasked with finding and retrieving the weapon. Their mission is proceeding as planned when it goes horribly wrong.  Ashyr, a space pirate, swoops in and literally tears the weapon from the team’s hands.

Cam can’t let that happen. Impetuous, reckless, and determined to retrieve it at all costs, she throws herself onto Ashyr’s ship and the battle begins.

Saturday Snippet - Absolution

Snippet for your enjoyment from my vampire romance Absolution!

He paused, skimming the index with one pudgy finger. “I think the first thing we need to do is teach her to fly. That way, she can escape if she needs to.”

“I canst not fly! I told you that.”

Shauna patiently explained. “You’re a vampire. According to legend, vampires can fly.”

“Well, the mean guy doesn’t really fly. He just kind of dissolves,” Earl pointed out.

“Actually, she’s not a vampire,” Benny said, scanning a page. “She’s a dhampir—half vampire, half human.”

“Dhampir. Vampire. What’s the difference?”

“I haven’t read that far yet.”

“P’raps if I be not a vampire, I canst not fly,” Chloe interjected, hoping to put an end to the absurd discussion.

“Let’s see.” Benny read on. “No…no, even half-vamp, you still have powers.” His brows lifted. “Don’t you remember?”

“About what?”

“You know…  Twice, when you got pissed, your eyes glowed red and your nails got long and creepy. We all saw it!”

Shauna and Earl nodded, affirming his statement.

Pain pounded at her temples. Frustrated and dismayed, Chloe strode to the window, looking out over the sea of lights. Though late, the city was alive with night revelers, frolicking without care, unaware that Jochad’s minions lurked in the dark corners, feeding on the unwary. Her stomach cramped. It was a while since she’d fed as well, but unless Earl had found sustenance, she would have to wait.

New cover and lower price. $1.99 on Amazon.

Forge Ahead With Hope to 2019

I'd have to say 2018 wasn't one of my favorite years. The past five years haven't been so great either. Lost both my parents and my mother-in-law, brother-in-law had a stroke, hubby was dealing with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, subsequent AFIBS and then, this year in February, he had a stroke. Ultimately, he had to have a very rare form of brain surgery and then spent quite some time in a nursing home and then finally in late spring, he got to come home.  Added to all that, youngest son decided to join the Marines! Mommy is still wondering why. Been tough but my hope is that 2019 will bring some really positive changes to this downward slide I've been on.  Not complaining, as we all know, it can always get worse.

No New Years Resolutions other than to try to make 2019 a better year.   

Here's hoping that each of you have a wonderful 2019 and every year thereafter.  

Sending hugs.
