I DO have a new release to report though:
STAR CRUISE: MYSTERY DANCER
First published in the Embrace the Passion: Pets in Space 3
anthology...which was a USA Today Best Seller and which also received two SFR Galaxy Awards last week! But it's no longer on sale so here's my story as a standalone.
I haven't revised the story or added any new content. My muse is really resistant to working on a story that's been 'finished' previously.
******************************
The blurb: Tassia Megg is a woman on the run after the death of her
elderly guardian. She needs to get off the planet in a hurry when chance directs
her to an open dance audition for the luxury cruise liner Nebula Zephyr’s
resident troupe. One thing Tassia can do is dance.
Security Officer Liam Austin is suspicious of the newest
performer to join the Comettes. She shows all the signs of being a woman on the
run and seems to fit the Sectors-wide broadcast description of a missing thief,
accused of stealing priceless artifacts. As he gets to know Tassia during the
cruise, he starts to wonder if she’s something more – a long vanished princess
in hiding from deadly political enemies of her family perhaps?
And what’s the story with the three eyed feline companion
other crew members swear Tassia brought aboard the ship? Does the animal even
exist?
As the ship approaches its next port of call, all the issues
come to a boil and Liam must decide if he’ll step in to help Tassia or betray
her. F’rrh the alien cat is the key to the mystery and Tassia’s fate.
A science fiction romance take on the Anastasia tale...
