It's So Hooooottttttt! #plparker #scifi #scifiromance #alieninvasion




It's so hoooottttt! I've been trying to work outside some but it's frankly too hot for this old broad.  Guess I'll revert to housework...not!  

I have been writing more and I'm pleased that I'm already over the 20,000 mark for my latest WIP, Ginger, Book 3 in The Chimeras series.  I'm enjoying writing this series and each book seems to evolve quite quickly, which is a good thing I've heard.  

We are going through a long stretch of high heat in our area, but from the reports, happening all over the west and northwest.  Praying for rain.


But maybe we just need to crank up the heat! In reading that is, since reading seems to be a good way to beat the heat!

Add some "heat" to your day with THE STARBRIDES series, THE CHALICE, BREEDER SLAVE, ABADDON RISING and REQUIEM.  Available from Amazon now!

Three Down and One to Go - And I'm Loving These New Covers! #scifi #scifiromance #paranormalromance #firstcontact #plparker

 I have to say my cover artiest on the Star Brides Series is just amazing.  Here are the first three in the series.  Waiting on the fourth for Requiem! I really feel she caught the essence of the stories.

Mars Needs Women! Not Even Close! #plparker #alienabduction #aliens #brides

 

Okay, so we've all heard about the old movie MARS NEEDS WOMEN (1968) where "Five ambassadors from Mars, led by Dop (Tommy Kirk), come to Earth in search of one thing: women. Because of a strange genetic defect, Mars women can produce only males, and their species is now on the verge of extinction. The Martians court all likely candidates, such as a stripper (Bubbles Cash)..." which is kind of where I came up with the idea for my Star Brides series. 

But the Star Brides series is not Mars Needs Women. in fact -  

Decimated by the savage Deg’Nara and teetering on the brink of extinction, the last surviving males of the once great Chiagan-Se embark on a quest to salvage what is left of their civilization. They send their remaining seeker ships into the void, searching for genetically compatible females. Time is running out, but in the far reaches of the universe, on an obscure and primitive planet, a match is discovered.

One thousand panic-stricken women awaken two hundred years in the future, captives aboard an unmanned alien spacecraft bound for parts unknown! How had they gotten there and why?

The males thought they came willingly. The females believed they’d been kidnapped. Full of hopeful expectation, the Chiagan-Se prepare for the arrival of their new mates. Terrified and furious at the inexplicable abduction, the women prepare for combat! And when the two sides meet, the battle commences.

I'm Doing the Happy Dance!

Just got the news that my latest novel, REQUIEM, Book 4 in the Star Brides (Deg'Nara) series, has been accepted for publication!  Been a long time coming on this one and I'm so excited to be at this point.

Tentative Blurb:

The rebels have gained ground. The murderous Deg’Nara are retreating.

A covert operations team is tasked with finding and retrieving the Deg’Nara’s latest weapon, a planet killer. Their mission is proceeding like clockwork when the weapon is literally torn from the team’s hands.

The rebels need that weapon to survive. Impetuous, reckless, and determined to retrieve it at all costs, Cam throws herself onto the alien’s ship and the battle begins.

Check out the first three books in the series:

"The End" - What Wonderful Words!


My last WIP has taken over two years to complete.  A year ago I was almost finished with it and then family health issues reared their ugly heads and my writing went on the back burner.  But in between all the issues, I managed to write a few words at least every three days and I finally finished it!  Book 4 in the Star Brides (Deg'Nara) Series which I am tentatively titling "Requiem."  



I like this one!  Hopefully my publisher will too!  If not, I'll self-publish and go from there.

Wish me luck!

Time to Read? Grab a Book!

Okay, so a little self-promotion never hurts, especially if you have a product that helps in these trying times.  Reading has always been a joy for me.  I've read countless books in my life and am always looking for that new read.  Currently, I'm reading the Alien series of books and enjoying every one.  I love scifi and read scifi and paranormal almost exclusively.  What about you?

I'm currently working on a fourth book in my Star Brides series and I'm liking what I've written so far.  Just need to get time to write.  Maybe soon.

If you're looking for a new read, try one of my books in the Star Brides series. Each is a stand alone so you don't have to read every one to enjoy the book.

Here they are:

The Chalice:  One thousand panic-stricken women awaken two hundred years in the future, captives aboard an unmanned alien spacecraft bound for parts unknown! How had they gotten there and why?

The males thought they came willingly. The females believed they’d been kidnapped - and when the two sides meet, the battle begins.

Breeder Slave: The human females Leah and the Irish lass Moira are captured and then abandoned, forced to fend for themselves on a barren planet light years from all they know. Their only hope is Sulas, a fugitive breeder slave, who wants nothing to do with them.

Hot Scifi Romances - Alien Abductions!

Ever dream of being abducted by hunky aliens and whisked away to a new life of hot sex and adventure?  Maybe so but might not end up the way you imagined.

The Star Brides (Deg'Nara) Series.  The Chalice, Breeder Slave and Abaddon Rising (4th book in the works - thinking of calling it Retribution).

Blurb for The Chalice (Book 1):

Decimated by the savage Deg’Nara and teetering on the brink of extinction, the last surviving males of the once great Chiagan-Se embark on a quest to salvage what is left of their civilization. They send their remaining seeker ships into the void, searching for genetically compatible females. Time is running out, but in the far reaches of the universe, on an obscure and primitive planet, a match is discovered.

Spaceballs...er...Space Brides!




In 1987, those of us fortunate enough got a good dousing of the ridiculous and endearing movie "Spaceballs."  I have to admit I've seen this movie more than once simply because it is so ridiculous, it is hilarious!  As a long time scifi fan, this was a refreshing change from the intense, mind-boggling movies of Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien series, and the like.  Amazingly silly but quite entertaining.  I further admit that if it came on the TV, most likely I'd watch it again.

As I said, I'm a long-time lover of scifi and not surprising that my writing experience would include science fiction, which has been my genre of choice for my latest novels.  

My Star Brides (Deg'Nara) Series delves into the idea of human females kidnapped as brides for a dying alien race.  Adventure, romance and sizzling sex!  All in a galaxy far, far away.  


The Chalice, Breeder Slave and Abaddon Rising, available on Amazon and most online bookstores.

Snippet Time! A Little Something to Tempt Your Reading Buds!

Time for a tempting snippet - a little something to get the old reading buds going.

Abbaddon Rising. 

Summary:  Joss is one of a thousand women abducted by the Chiagan-Se as brides for a dying race. The males thought they'd come willingly, the women believed they'd been kidnapped and when the two sides meet, sparks fly.

Abaddon Rising is Book 3 in the Star Brides (Deg'Nara) Series. Joss is captured, enslaved and forced to fight in the alien gladiator ring...and then came Kanaan!


Snippet:


Yells and curses rent the air! Whips cracked overhead as the slave handlers rounded up their charges and herded them towards the conscripts’ quarters.
            Joss ducked in time to avoid a direct hit from a serpentine strap before standing up. One of these days she silently vowed. I really hate those frickin’ whips! Physically drained and mentally brain-dead, she found a place in the straggling line and followed the exhausted slaves towards the dormitory. This rotation had been a singularly grueling one and she ached in every bone and muscle. Two more rotations and we’ll leave this shithole! And then what? If I win, I’m back here and if I lose…
            The whole depressing scenario left her downhearted and hopeless. Only thing I can hope for is that Master Luidoc loses and I’m bought by a Master who’ll set me free! Fat chance that! The Destroyer will never be defeated in the ring and if I survive, I’m right back here! Big f’ing deal!
            Without conscious thought, she kicked out, landing a solid blow on the lower leg of the slave ahead. The shaggy red head whipped around.
            “Watch ass, female,” the creature snarled from thin blue lips.
She stepped back, startled. The left portion of his face was a mass of burn scars, twisting the blue lips into a perpetual one-sided smile.
The yellow-green eyes snapped with anger. “Or I kills you next time!”
            “Oh yeah,” she snapped back. “You and who else?”
            Euo, she recalled. One of those conscripts slated for the mass battle. From her experience in the sparring bouts, his skills were modest at best and he’d be one of the first to fall. A brief surge of sympathy gave her a moment’s pause. Have I become so callous to the suffering of others? Edie would be so ashamed of me!
            “I’m…I’m sorry,” she apologized. “Just tired!”
            The shaggy red head dipped in an acknowledging nod. “Bad place here.” He spit into the dust. “Deg’Nara bad. All bad,” he hissed under his breath.
