Thank you for having me here today! Let me introduce myself. I’m Christine d’Abo and I’m an author and lover of erotic romance. I’ve been writing seriously for ten years and have been published for the last eight of those. I love video games, superheroes, and anything that will mess with your mind. I’m also a secret ninja, but I’m unable to discuss those matters. Shhh…

I’ve been a huge sci-fi fan since I was little. My first romance novels were erotic futuristics, which probably says more about me than I’d like to admit. Yes, I had a total crush on Doctor Who, Buck Rogers, Captain Kirk, Tron, and most of the cast from the original Battlestar Galactica as a kid. As I got older, I was so excited that sci-fi on TV became more sophisticated.

No Quarter has a lot of influences from Firefly and Babylon 5. I loved how Firefly handled the space pirate/government dynamic, and wanted to have those as highlights in the Bounty series. While not the primary force in the book, it drives the character motivations. I was also a huge fan of Babylon 5 back in the 90s (!). The family love/hate dynamic that the crew developed over the years was something I wanted to try and capture.

What are some of your favorite sci-fi shows? Old and new! I’d love to hear.

Blurb

No QuarterWhen bounty hunter Gar Stitt is given a simple locate-and-retrieve mission, he’s convinced it’s a waste of his skills. His success rate is legendary, after all, and Captain Faolan Wolf isn’t hard to find. He’s the most notorious pirate in the galaxy, and when he shows up planetside to take his pleasures, he’s far from subtle.

Faolan never expected a hot but tightly wound hunter to walk into his private party and try to apprehend him single-handedly. And when an unexpected betrayal forces them to work together, Faolan’s even more surprised to find himself drawn to Gar personally—especially since neither of them do personal.

Gar had intended to put Faolan in prison. Instead he finds his solitary existence shaken by his desire for the pirate. And when the bounty hunter becomes the hunted, he must put his faith in Faolan and his pirate crew, or run the risk of ending up dead.

Publisher’s note: This title is an edited second edition, previously published in 2010.
