It's the Hap, Hap, Happiest Time of the Year! The Holidays Are Upon Us.

 

It's that time of year again and the holidays are upon us, but not everything always happens the way we imagine, certainly not for this poor girl.

The Christmas Diary - or should I say the boyfriend fiasco?

Coming Very Soon - ANISE - Book 5, The Chimeras #scifi #dystopian #romance #romanticadventure

It's always so exciting to finally type "The End" on a manuscript. A time for celebration! I've reached that pinnacle on my latest WIP, ANISE, Book 5, The Chimeras. She's the tech specialist, brilliant and driven, and the destruction of the alien invaders is the only thing she really cares about, or so she thinks.

Here's the cover art created by Harris Channing who always does such a good job.

It's That Time of the Year! #christmas #shopping #blackfriday #cybermonday #scifi #romance #westernromance

 

We're heading into the Christmas frenzy. Yesterday marked "Black Friday" and Monday is "Cyber Monday". Makes a person's head swirl, especially those of us who've procrastinated on getting started with the holiday shopping.

Actually, I've done well so far. I did get my holiday package sent to my son who is in the Marines and serving way overseas in a country I almost had never heard of.  But hopefully the package will arrive in good time and in good condition.  

I wonder, have you considered e-books for your loved ones? If so, I have a suggestion. My western time-travel romance, AIMEE'S LOCKET. Although not just a holiday romance, there is a Christmas celebration as part of the read. Aimee just wants to go home, to modern day Seattle.

In e-book, print and audio.

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?

Another 5 Star Review for GINGER on Amazon! #ginger #plparker #scifi #scifiromance #dystopian

 

Another 5 Star Review for GINGER on Amazon!  Thank you Cara Bristol:

"In book 3 of this post-apocalyptic sci-fi romance series, Ginger and her genetically enhanced sisters, who’ve been living in an abandoned installation in Colorado, are trekking to Montana after their hideaway is discovered and invaded by the alien Friems. They going to meet up with a military group intending to fight the Friems and take back Earth. But along the way, the sisters’ convoy is attacked by alien drones, and Ginger runs off, luring the drones away, saving most of her people."  Cara Bristol

Another 5 Star Review for Poppy! I'm Loving It! #alieninvasion #scifi #scifiromance #romance #plparker

 Another 5 star review for Poppy:

"This is a great post-apocalyptic sci-fi romance series. Earth’s population was all but wiped out by the Friems, terrifying aliens. Bands of survivors have taken refuge wherever they can find it. Jackers, lowlife human scum, prey on the survivors, often working for the Friems.
...
Fantastic worldbuilding. Great characters.
This is an awesome series. Start at the beginning with Saffron. (All the sisters are named after spices)." Reviewed May 9 by Cara Bristol.

She's coming! SAGE, Book 4 in the Chimeras series.  She's the warrior. The protector. But most times she's just a pain in the ass. Brash, determined, uncontrollable. A man's woman. Look for her soon!

30,500+ Words on Sage - Book 4 in the Chimeras #alieninvasion #dystopian #scifi #adventure

It's always satisfying to pass that 30,000 mark.  My Chimeras series are all in the 50,000 to 55,000 range so hitting he 30,500 mark is a milestone.  I've reached that in Book 4 of The Chimeras series: Sage.

Sage is the warrior. Tough, resilient and self-serving, but along comes Gideon, a guy she can't seem to love and leave. What's with that?

I hope to have this book ready by late spring/early summer, so look for it.  In the meantime, if you like scifi/action/alien invasion, you might try the first three books in the series: Saffron, Poppy and Ginger.

Spring is Just Around the Corner - YAYYYYYY! #spring #plparker #romance #scifi

Spring is just around the corner and I am so ready for it. Seems as though this winter has been a long one or perhaps I'm just getting old and the cold weather affects me more. No matter! Spring is almost here!

Soon, I'll be out in the yard pulling out old plants in preparation for planting new. Yard cleanup, and I can tell I've got my work cut out for me.  I have to admit, I hate mowing but generally my son handles that aspect for me.

The tulips have already broke through as well as patches of daffodils and crocus. Love my tulips. Unfortunately, so do the squirrels. Who knew squirrels would eat tulips but they do. Ornery critters.

Anyway, with all that's going on in the world, I'm content to stay in my own little corner and enjoy the benefits it provides.

Here's to Spring!

A Month of Love! Valentine's Day #valentines #love #scifi #paranormal #plparker

 

Happy Valentine's Day!  I have always loved Valentine's Day, more so when my husband was alive, but to me, it is a day of joy.  Hearts and flowers and, of course,  chocolate.  My husband always made sure I received at least one of these standard gifts and, every so often, a stuff toy.  My favorite is/was the pink monkey I have hanging on my cabinet. Used to drive him crazy the many poses I could put that monkey in, but secretly, I think he liked it.   

Here's wishing you a month of love and joy, and many more after this.  

Patsy

P.S. - I heard the groundhog didn't see his shadow so spring is coming early.

5 + Stars Review From N. N. Light's Book Heaven re: GINGER #bookreview #scifi #scifiromance #plparker

 

So excited!  5+ stars from N.N. Light's Book Heaven for my latest novel, SAFFRON, Book 3 in The Chimeras series.  

"The world-building is spectacular. It’s difficult to write a world that is both familiar and fantastical. This is what P.L. Parker excels at. Her gift for building her world through words is on display here. If you want to get lost in a post apocalyptic world, you’ll dive into this book with ease.

 

The narration and POV make this such an engrossing read. The emotions of the characters and/or situations grab a hold of the reader and don’t let go.

 

If you’re a science fiction/post apocalyptic romance reader, you’ll love Ginger. I can’t wait to see what happens next!"

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.
