I am very excited today!  A favorite author talking about a favorite series.  Specifically, Pauline Baird Jones talking about the newest book in her Project Enterprise series – Found Girl.  I love her quirky sense of humor.  [Hmm.  That reminds me.  I hope she behaves.]

Welcome Pauline!

*******************

I’d like to thank Riley for inviting me to her blog!

[Looks around for a comfy place to sit and gets distracted by all the books…]

Oh, right, sorry. But she does have some great looking books lying around. I don’t suppose I can just read one?

No.

Okay, I’ll be good.

(Small confession here. I started writing way, way, way back in—well, that’s not relevant. I started writing books because it forced me to “read” slower when I had the write the whole book. I must say, it does really slow you down having to type ALL THE WORDS. Shouldn’t there be an app for that?)

So recently I “read” a new novel in my Project Enterprise series. It’s called Found Girl. In previous Project Enterprise books I’ve hinted that there are other Project ships going in other directions. And this book follows one of those ships into a space load of trouble.

Here’s an exclusive to this blog excerpt from Found Girl: Project Enterprise 6:

*******************

Now that they’d boldly gone somewhere, Colonel Jackson “Coop” Cooper would have liked to do more than talk about how cool it was to boldly be somewhere.

The Boyington’s geeks claimed they had passed the boundary into a new star system during ship night. He’d have to take their word for it. Looking at the projected view outside? All he could see was a whole lot of deep space on one side and even more deep space on the other.

He loosed a silent sigh. Probably not much chance of finding another hidden base full of advanced technology and weapons, no matter how far they got from the Milky Way. In his experience, the universe didn’t repeat the good stuff. In the absence of a hidden base, he would settle for first contact with some actual aliens.

Where was the adventure they’d promised him as a consolation for the trip to Mars he hadn’t got? Okay, so the secret expedition wouldn’t be secret if they went to Mars where the Project Enterprise ships could have been spotted by who knew who—though no one had explained how they’d managed to get out of their system. And they wouldn’t. He was a fighter jockey, the commander of the Boyington’s air group, which meant he got orders, not explanations.

He leaned back in his chair and tried not to yawn as the head geek blah blah blahed about the results of their initial, deep system scan. Sure, he was ecstatic it had so much cool astrophysical crap and a big healthy sun. Who didn’t like finding another sun? He needed to work on his tan. Or here’s a thought. Turn him and his flyboys loose to go look at all of it. Flying sim-drills was not making any of them happy.

He glanced at Pappy, sitting across from him. Not General Boyette’s real name, but the nickname came with the command of the Boyington. Pappy, hiding a yawn with a hand and a cough, met Coop’s gaze and gave a slight shrug. Must be galling to him that they’d missed the battle in the Garradian Galaxy, then been sent here before things hotted up again. On the upside, the Boyington had been upgraded with a lot of the cool tech post battle, enabling it to go further than any of the other expedition ships.

Pappy’s eyes narrowed. “Is it just our point of entry that makes it look like we came in on the empty side of the system?”

It did kind of look like they’d arrived in the system’s boonies.

There was a concerted turn of geeks’ heads as they studied their arrival point, then the cluster of planets huddled on the other side of the system. What appeared to be streams of debris fanned out, as if drawn toward the cluster.

“And what is all this?” Pappy’s finger pointed to the debris fields.

“Asteroid belts?” one geek postulated.

“Not belts,” another disagreed. “Not seeing any with a center of gravity.”

There was a stir of excitement as someone zoomed in on the region.

“Some of the clusters do appear to have gravitational orientation,” someone murmured.

Coop tipped his head to one side. Kind of reminded him of a pool table. Wasn’t sure why that thought made him uneasy, other than the fact the Boyington seemed to be on the cue side of the table. He glanced at Pappy and found him frowning.

“Might be a good idea to do a risk assessment—”

Coop stiffened a half a second before the alarm cut off Pappy’s words. He was up and headed for the hatch opening as the alert began its klaxon call ship-wide. It was, so his pilots claimed, his super power, this uncanny ability to sense trouble coming even before the sensors.

“Clear,” he ordered, flattening civilians and other personal against the wall as he jogged past, headed for the squadron’s hangar bay. Over his comm, the updates started to come in from Ops.

Unknown contacts.

Collision warnings began to blare as the space around them filled with multiple objects.

Unknown risk factors.

Other than the chance of getting slammed by multiple objects? “What do you know,” he snapped into his comm. Lots of explanations, but nothing with meat.

By the time he’d donned his speed jeans and was settling into the cockpit of his Dauntless, Ops was reporting that at least one of the objects was a ship. One possible life sign on board. Low energy signature. Possibly an indication of damage, or it was a dead/dying ship. Or it was just had a low energy profile.

Amazing how fast things could go from “wow, this is so cool that we’re in a new star system,” to “wow, there’s a bunch of UFO’s and an alien ship and I think I just wet my pants.”

 

Question #1: Does Found Girl tie directly into the previous Project Enterprise books?

Answer: Found Girl does not, well…it kind of does…but…

Question #2: Will new books eventually tie into the previous books in the series?

Answer: That is the plan. 🙂 [Hopefully, the Universe hasn’t taken notice and has my plan on its upcoming hosing list…]

And speaking of Project Enterprise, there will be a spin-off story in Embrace the Romance: Pets in Space 2, releasing Oct 10, 2017 (but available for preorder now! Link to all vendors: http://www.paulinebjones.com/book/embrace-the-romance). “Time Trap” gives readers Master Sgt. Briggs a story (not to mention an adventure and a romance). “Time Trap” also ties into Nebula Nine. It’s like one of those knot things. You know. The knots. [Pause for a Google search] Endless knots. That’s it. But with explosions and characters shooting ray guns at each other.

 

And now I’m sure Riley is wondering why on earth she let me loose on her blog. LOL So I’ll stop and thank her again for letting me rampage, er, visit.

*******************

Riley:  I’m happy to take a chance letting Pauline loose at WWMB.  Thanks for visiting Pauline!   Guess what?!  I’ve read Found Girl (liked it a lot) and I even wrote a review.

The Sweet Spot – Gothic Romance – Guest Post by Kathryn Troy

Kathryn Troy, author the newly released of A Vision in Crimson is here today to talk about what makes a book gothic or a romance.  Or better yet, both!  Welcome Kathryn!

*********************

The Sweet Spot – Gothic Romance

For some readers, a few small words are all it takes to make them pick up a book: “gothic,” and “romance.” But what do those words really mean, in a literary sense? The terms “Romance” and “Gothic” are, in fact, tied to specific literary movements in the eighteenth century. The Castle of Otranto, the 1764 novel by Horace Walpole, with its dark family secrets and crumbling castle, is usually hailed as the first gothic work. Collectively, both genres deal with very similar themes—something supernatural or fantastical, described in a gloomy or foreboding mood, where characters and their experiences are anything but ordinary. Countless people claim to love these genres, crave them, but not everyone has read an eighteenth-century novel.

I do, in fact, read these genres very heavily, both in the traditional and the contemporary sense. What pulls together works written centuries apart, for me, has everything to do with three narrative components: mood, content, and theme. Both as a reader and a writer, whether or not I think something is Gothic, or Romantic (not lovey-dovey, but adventurous and fantastical), depends on the presence of certain things. Castles? Yep. Magical creatures? Uh-huh. Family secrets? Definitely. Obscured pasts coming to light, sometimes in ghostly form? Absolutely! And as far as I’m concerned with mood: the darker, the better. That, maybe, is the fine, sometimes invisible line between literary Gothicism and Romanticism—the dark factor.

Being eye-ball deep in these literatures for longer than I’ve been a writer, it makes perfect sense that I would be influenced by such tropes. A Vision in Crimson, the first title in my new epic fantasy series Frostbite, is the strongest example in my own writing about how Gothicism and Romanticism go hand-in-hand. Speaking in terms of narrative structure, my fantasy world is fashioned primarily after more classical realms of fantasy—and I do mean classical, for you will find a pegasus, a few minotaurs, some fauns, and things of that ilk that are usually associated with Classical literature. Generally, the setting for such Romances are depicted as idyllic, making them contrast all the more sharply with the dark influences in their world.

And that’s where my brand of Gothicism comes is. I borrowed from Bram Stoker’s Dracula not only the functions of his titular character—his strengths, weaknesses, and motivations—but I also used its deeper themes as a model. Particularly, the idea of Dracula’s invasion of England. If you had to describe A Vision in Crimson using only known literary references, you could say that it is the tale of what happens when Dracula invades Narnia. From the Gothic genre as a whole, I took more: a post-apocalyptic, vampire-driven world as a starting-off point, for one, and nagging questions about family trees for my two protagonists, Kate and Luca. They are both painted as Romantic figures, because both are pulled out of Earth and brought to a magical place filled with equal parts wonder and danger. Their story feels grand, and epic, and adventurous, with varying levels of excitement and peril.

Now romance, with a little “r,” is the steamy stuff that, alongside vampires, will never go out of fashion. A Vision in Crimson has more than its share of steam. But there was no magical moment when someone decided to use Gothic tropes for stories containing sensuality. Dracula had his three brides, and Carmilla before him had strong sexual undertones. It is human nature to be attracted to mystery and decadence, and to feel the allure of people, places, and things that are foreign to us. The fact that we keep reinventing these things, changing features here and there, but still with the same underlying premise: woman discovers dark castle, and its dark lord, and promptly falls in love, pulls at the very fabric of our existence. On any given night, a little Gothic, a little Romance, and a lot of romance can change your life. It’s the kind of story we’ll always want to read. And, it’s the kind of story I will always want to write.

Excerpt from A Vision in Crimson

His dream was broken by the feel of something soft against his mouth. He opened his eyes and blinked, thinking for a moment that he was still asleep. Flooding his vision was the red-haired siren of his dream, crouched above him.

Her dark brown eyes were staring straight into his. He held her glance for a long while, then took a minute to glimpse at the rest of her. Her features were well defined and graceful. Her long luxurious hair, braided in a few places, spilled over her firm, ample curves onto the ground in front of her. Looking at it now in reality, he saw a unique, vibrant shade of red, darker and almost auburn in the shade of the trees, with strands of pure copper and gold highlighted by the sun through the forest canopy. Her large eyes sparkled. They were alight with intrigue and kind concern, but Luca saw a touch of the tired sadness that he was accustomed to seeing in his own dim reflection. Too much for someone her age.

Luca puzzled over her age for more than a few seconds. Her beauty and slender frame suggested a girl nearing her thirties, yet her countenance told him she had been through more than her share of life’s troubles, even for a woman of the rough and unprotected countryside.

She stared at his clear crystal blue eyes, framed by thick dark brows. A straight nose, tightly pursed lips and strong chin completed his face. Despite his pale complexion, he was dark and beautiful. She didn’t let it show on her face, but the woman had become immediately enamored of him.

Her fingers rested lightly on his mouth. After a silence that lasted a bit too long, she was the first to speak.

“I’ll have you out of there in just a minute,” she whispered. “I won’t hurt you, but we have to be quiet.”

She turned her head to the side to get a glimpse of the valley below.

“I’m looking out for a friend, and just spotted you here a minute ago. Once I’m sure he’s okay, I’ll start digging.”

Luca said nothing. When she was sure that he wouldn’t make a sound, she removed her hand from his lips and moved closer to the hill’s edge, looking for her companion. Luca got a better look at what she was wearing.

A plaid scarf in sapphire blue with hints of gold thread was wrapped around her neck and waist, covering a tunic dress of the same shade. Her legs were covered by high, soft leather brown boots and blue leggings, but Luca spied shapely thighs at the edge of her skirt. She wore a utility belt across her chest which hinted at her generous cleavage, despite her modest neckline. Above, his eyes traced the silhouette of her long, pale, comely neck with excitement, but he quickly quashed the flutter in his heart before it developed, and redirected his gaze.

At her hips, she wore two short swords, and the hilt of a dagger peeked out from the top of her boot. She seemed sure of herself, and didn’t appear the least bit threatened by Luca. She didn’t react to seeing him for the first time in the manner customary to women, and even scores of young men; they usually succumbed quickly to his outward charms—his dark aura and hypnotic stare, two of his many vampiric qualities. But she didn’t gasp in fear or swoon in ecstasy. That puzzled him.

A small part of him wondered why she hadn’t immediately responded to his visage, with a little disappointment. He chalked it up to her finding him covered in dirt from the neck down. But he knew that shouldn’t have stopped her from surrendering to his trance-inducing stare, even for a moment. He was intrigued by this girl, who had just happened to appear as his dream self was making love to her.

Her garb made her even more of a mystery. He only noticed these things, which were inconsequential to him, because the fabrics, colors, and design of her wardrobe were infinitely superior, and foreign, to anything he had ever seen, including some of the priciest fashions available in the biggest cities. He much preferred the naked version of her, which had dissipated with her actual presence. But even in all her gear, chosen for its rugged functionality, she looked regal. He saw her gesture to her friend, then she turned to face him once more.

“Okay, it looks like whoever did this to you is gone. I’ll have you walking around again soon. Who did do this to you, anyway?” she asked, as she began to claw at the earth with her hands.

“I did.”

His voice was as toneless and nonchalant as ever. Her hands paused for a moment, still holding clumps of dirt, and she looked at him quizzically.

“You buried yourself? Why on earth would you do a thing like that?”

Here came the part he always dreaded, but was compelled to divulge nevertheless.

“I’m a dhampir.”

“A what?”

Here, Luca thought, was the reaction he had been expecting, but had been unusually delayed. He waited for what he had said to sink in, but it didn’t. She was still honestly waiting for an answer. He repeated himself.

“I’m a dhampir.”

“What’s a dhampir?”

He just stared at her, his eyes going slightly wide.

“I’m not from around here,” she explained, “so you’re going to have to fill me in.”

Now it was Luca’s turn to pause. Never, in his entire life, had he been asked to explain this term. In a world whose entire existence revolved around the struggle between vampires and humans, to find someone who was not familiar with this word was truly unheard of. He experienced an emotion he had almost never had occasion to experience. He was, in a word, stunned.

“I’m part human, part vampire.”

“Oh. Ohhhh.”

She finally got it. He waited now for the standard response. Instead, a look of embarrassment swept over her face as she began hurriedly replacing the soil she had disturbed.

“I am so sorry, I didn’t realize. I didn’t mean to intrude on your resting. You looked like you were having a hell of a dream.”

If you only knew. But, was she actually apologizing for bothering his slumber? Luca’s revelation hadn’t fazed her in the slightest. His amazement at her response only piqued his interest in her more.

“It’s alright, I was just getting up.”

Though she had interrupted him, he felt rested.

“In that case, would you like me to help you?”

“Do what you like.”

She resumed her exhumation of Luca. “My name is Kate, by the way.”

Luca stretched his muscles slightly to a sitting position, the remaining earth above him falling away. He took her outstretched palm with his freed right hand, and they both stood up.

“Call me Luca.”

Guest Post by Sabine Priestley

It’s great to be back on WWMB, always a pleasure! It’s been a long time coming as 2016 was a horrible year for me. You don’t want to hear it, and I’m not dishing, suffice to say I’m seriously glad it’s over. Life has it’s ups and downs for everyone and I’m no exception. The silver lining (and I am always a silver lining kind of girl) is that my writing has become deeper. Pain is growth if you learn from it and I’ve learned a lot.

I’ve got a number of new books releasing this year and I’m totally stoked!

First on deck is my new UF series Tethered Wings. I loved creating this world and truly it has kept me sane (ok, sane may be a stretch, but work with me here). I have to credit my friend Juliette Cross for sparking this series as it was conceived when I was reading her Night Wing books.

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to fly. I spent hours as a child in imaginary worlds where I either had the ability to fly or I was riding a winged horse or a dragon. I’m a lucid dreamer and I can tell you that flying dreams are the bomb! I’ve soared down rivers, over mountains and even through the rings of Saturn.

It wasn’t difficult for me to imagine a race of human like people that had wings. They live together with humans for the first time in a country called Vega. Twice Tethered is book one of the series. As I was working on book two, Vega Falling something odd happened. Odd and seriously cool. I can’t tell you though, because it’s a major spoiler. Book two comes out August 1st so you won’t have to wait long!

One last thing. Me and some crazy author friends are reaching out to you, the readers. Seriously, we want to know what you’re looking for. What do you want to read? What do you want more of? The page is still a work in progress but, you can check it out here: Tell Us What You Want.

About Twice Tethered, Book 1 in the Tethered Wings Series

2016 Beacon FCRW Finalist!

She had no words. He was playing her like an instrument. Orchestrating a symphony unlike any she’d ever experienced.

In a country called Vega, winged sensari and humans live and work together for the first time.

Priya Desai wanted nothing more than to launch her career at Genetic Realms engineering, but one night with CEO Morgan Steele changed everything, including her humanity.

Morgan is duty bound to help Priya through the transformation—an intensely physical process which brings both pain and pleasure.

As his enemies fight to destroy his company, and political tensions rise, the two must find the truth: Did someone engineer the transformation in her, or did he really tether twice?

Excerpt from Twice Tethered

“What do you think you’re doing?” Morgan Steele inserted himself between her and Seth.

That explained the pleasure coursing through her.

Morgan wore jeans and a half-unbuttoned shirt. A short gold chain rested around his neck. His fingers brushed hers igniting a full-on body buzz.

“Piss off, Steele,” Seth said, straightening his collar.

Morgan scanned her from head to toe, upping the buzz quota. There was no missing the sparks in his eyes. “Are you all right?”

She nodded and stepped close enough for the heat of his body to radiate up her arm.

He placed a possessive hand on the small of her back, his thumb stroking. The bolt of electricity from his touch was almost painful. Almost.

“Beat it, Seth.”

“It’s a free world, Steele.”

“It’s my club. And since when do Mandoris believe in freedom?”

Ugly red blotches spread across Seth’s face. He sneered at Priya before whirling around and launching off the platform.

A low growl rumbled through Morgan. Felt more than heard. When he turned his attention back to her, she couldn’t move.

His expression shifted from anger to hunger as he scanned her from top to bottom and back again. “Tanzar Farornath.”

She started to ask what that meant, but when the heat of his hands slid onto her hips all she could do is breathe him in. Mountains and rain. She wanted to lose herself in that smell.

He was gliding his thumbs in tiny circles and it did things to her insides. His breath was hot on her skin.

“What are you doing here?” Her voice shook with more than adrenaline from the encounter with Seth.

“Part owner.”

She knew that. She couldn’t take her eyes off his mouth. If she leaned forward just a hair…

He beat her to it, tilting his head at the last moment and brushing his lips across her ear.  “The image I keep seeing in my head…” He leaned back and gazed into her eyes.

Her heart slammed into her chest as the scene burned brightly in her mind. She swore she felt him pulsing inside.

He nodded. “I thought so. Is that what you want, Priya?” His voice was low and gravelly, he made her name sound exotic.

Pleasure rippled through her in waves. Her hands were flat on his chest and the beat of his heart matched her own. Her brain battled with a response. Hell yes that’s what her body wanted, but what could she say? She didn’t want to lose her job. “I don’t think we should…”

His lips brushed against her neck just below her ear and a cacophony of sensation inundated her senses.

“We definitely should not.” He bit down on her shoulder.

The pleasure became an intrinsic part of her. Hot. Pulsing. “Oh, fuck, Morgan.”

“Precisely.”

Surrendering, she wrapped her arms around his neck. He devoured her. Demanding. Hungry. So very hungry.
