When I was first contacted about re-editing and getting new covers for one of my favorite series, I was over the moon! See, the Alliance series is a space opera. I love those. Firefly is one of my favorites. Mine don’t have the old west cowboy feel, but it has the drama and action. I love a good suspense story as well and I think the Alliance series does that intertwines the sci-fi and suspense as well as military. They do take place in the future, so the military isn’t the same as here, today.

I am a Star Trek fan as well. I will admit, I’m more new generation than the old school, but I love those too. In my stories I tried to give a fine line of the space/sci-fi as I did the suspense. Some might call it sci-fi lite as I give you just enough to have the feel, but when reading, I hope, it feels like it could be happening now.

This series had my first ménage in it and was the first time I had a hint of horror involved. I also did a throwback story. A kind of how it all started. The series builds as it goes, so it is best to read them in order.

Retribution is first. I introduce 3 main characters and the bad guy. I have a soft spot for the bad guy and I want them bad. Like… unredeemable bad. In this story, I give a bit of the world and a hint of the Alliance.

Salvation is next. This is my ménage. Two men and a woman. I told this story in the 2 male points of views, but the female is very much there. I think after you read the first story, you’ll want her story.

Freedom follows a sickness that is introduced in Salvation. This one has a runaway and a crush that becomes more.

In Reward we follow along the old friend from Freedom and his vacation that ends up more than he bargained for with some mistaken identity along the way.

Annihilation is my throwback book. You find out how it all started. It has the ancestors from some of my other characters.

In Avenger we go back to Earth and this story line is wrapped up. It’s the end of the series.

I want to do a spinoff of the series. In Alliance I follow different couples. In Allora, I want to follow one couple. This one will be more like Star Trek. In re-editing and re-reading the series, I am getting more of a taste for what I want to do. I have an outline ready to go, I just need to get to writing.

If you’ve read the series, the only one I really added anything to was Retribution, but that was only about a thousand words. The whole series will be out starting the first of October. The first two are already up on the Pride website.


Blurb

RetributionA government agency isn’t a place you’d expect to find love.

Not all are soldiers, but the Alliance has a long arm and touches many lives.

The Galaxy may just be big enough for espionage, murder, science and honour among men.
