I’ve had two releases this week – Gambit and Perfecting Naia. So today I’m in two places at once, which makes me sort of quantum entangled *grin*
I’m being interviewed at The Galaxy Express and KJ Reed let me guest blog about Perfecting Naia over at her place 🙂
GambitReleases 20 September from Carina Press

Captain Chae Beyon is a hustler, a mercenary pilot, a wounded woman who prefers her men to be easily thrown aside.
Daned Traern is a first-caste Ladaian bound by tradition and DNA to protect his race. He’s willing to align himself with the hot space captain if she’ll transport him home in time to ensure the right candidate is crowned—and thus prevent a bloody war.
Disguised as Chae’s sex toy, Daned is erotically bound to her through living gold, alien tech designed to increase pleasure. When he frees himself, their passion only increases…but succumbing to temptation will bind them together—permanently.
But there’s more at stake than their needs. As Chae is dragged into a world of insane princes and sentient stones, hired killers hound them across the quadrant.
And then, as only her lousy luck would have it, Chae must choose between the good of the galaxy and her own heart…
Releases 23 September 2010 from Ellora’s Cave

Life for Naia Vincenza is about to change. A mysterious alien, Dasyra, whisks her away with the promise of a life of pampered luxury. For a price.
Naia must undertake the mysterious and carnal rite of the reinya. She has to prove that she should be chosen, that she is worthy of the role. And to do that she must enter the maze and find the creature at its heart.  But nothing is ever simple and the price Naia must pay pushes her mind and her body to the very edge of pleasure…and beyond.
It feels like forever since I actually finished a story, so this sale is doubly sweet!
I wanted to play with my love of mythology – I’ve been reading a lot of Greek and Roman reference books lately – but making it SF too. What my imagination produced surprised even me, and I’m used to the interesting turns my brain can take, lol
Here’s the unoffical blurb:
