ABOUT THE BOOK

Travel Queen Survival Tip #23: If you get stuck in an ice storm, find a hot guy to melt it!

Travel agent Darcy Burkell has a secret. Because she’s claustrophobic, she doesn’t precisely jet around the world despite what’s implied in her popular newsletter about vacation destinations. When she hires photographer James Jones, who grew up in the same town she did, to illustrate her stories, they become cyber-friends.

James decides Darcy might be the one woman to help him settle down–or at least someone who’ll travel with him instead of expect him to stay home all the time. Right before Christmas, he shows up unannounced and suggests they take a holiday trip together.

Darcy is too embarrassed to admit her phobia and turns him down flat. She knows what kind of woman he wants, and she’s not it. Her resolve is tested when she and James become gridlocked near the same bridge by an ice storm. Impassable roads force them to spend hours together in his vehicle…shivering. And cuddling. It’s freezing outside, but inside it gets hot enough to melt all the ice in Alaska. The question is, can their affection remain toasty after Darcy confesses her big secret?

Warning: This title contains dreadful weather, a medium-sized misunderstanding, jelly beans that taste like boogers, and coitus interruptus by redneckus.

Note: This book was previously published as Claustrophobic Christmas under my old penname Ellie Marvel. It has been reformatted, reedited, and re-covered but not substantially changed.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Should you give up on a sure thing for the possibility of a better thing?

Herman Edward Heckley is what anyone might call a manly guy. So what’s he doing fighting off taffeta in a bridal salon? He’s maid of honor for his best friend, Caroline Oakenfeld, in her wedding to a pencil-necked geek. But the closer he gets to the ceremony, the more he begins to wonder if he’s missing out. If only he were the type of person who could figure stuff out besides hammer and nails.

Caroline is the type of person who can figure stuff out, and she’s been in love with Heck forever. Frittering her life away until Heck wises up isn’t part of her life plan, and she agrees to marry her boyfriend. But the closer she gets to the ceremony, the more she realizes she has to resolve her feelings for Heck.

For better or for worse.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Best friends to lovers, scifi style!

What's a mild-mannered alien male to do when he goes into heat far from his home and the only compatible mate around is an unsophisticated Terran mining specialist? Tarkin, a Gitternian trader, courts his friend Sarai McNally when his cycle awakens. If he can't seduce her, he’ll suffer a transformation called “the dwindling” that will render him celibate and less-than forever.

Sarai has loved Tarkin for years, but it’s common knowledge Gitternians don’t intermingle with other species. When Tarkin propositions her, Sarai reacts by fleeing in confusion. But when an espionage plot at the company where Sarai works goes sour, they're forced into the same proximity, and forced to make a choice. Become bondmates to save Tarkin's soul or separate forever? And that's assuming they can survive the infiltrators determined to eliminate all witnesses to their theft.

Author's Note: This was previously published a long time ago by Red Sage Publishing. The content is VERY spicy.

ABOUT THE BOOK

A rip roaring adventure in space with a snarky heroine and way too much nonsense!

Captain Megan Malone, Stellar Transport's top zip ship pilot, hasn't had a day off in three hundred turns. A pilot at her psi level has all the credits and exotic destination anyone could want but none of the stability or the relationships. When her boss refuses her vacation request yet again and insists she fly a long-term diplomatic mission to Elteri, Megan is forced into a corner, and something's going to get burned.

Either her psi...or her job.

But what she doesn't realize is that zip ship pilots are being abducted from settled planets, and her company fears she may be next.

This science fiction romance adventure will take all of us places we do not expect! Primarily because I am still writing it.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Mari Shu, a factory drudge in the year 4000-something, must choose how to protect her sisters, her purity, and her own conscience in a bleak futuristic society that’s been polluted by smog, rampant commercialism, tacky jumpsuits, sexual perversions, unjust socioeconomics, interstellar travel, and inconsistent use of the Oxford comma.

In this second jubilant outing, Mari Shu decides to desert Olde Earth for the unfamiliar comforts and sexual practices of Mars...and possible elevation to the elite Martian rover class.

Warning: Book is a spoof and contains offensive material. Buttloads of boatloads of offensive, vulgar, disrespectful, and possibly triggering material. Sexual, political, economic, racial, physical, typographical, religious—really, trying to hit all the big ones. Please make sure to sign your correct name to the hate mail so we can give proper credit in the follow-up volume entitled, “The Hate Mails to Mari Shu”.

Warning 2: What that means is this entire book is a spoof. A joke. A hoot. It wasn’t born out of hatred of any aspect of genre fiction and culture or even hatred of human beings but instead out of love, true love. No, seriously, quit laughing. Oh, wait, you’re supposed to laugh, because it’s parody. You pick, okay?

ABOUT THE BOOK

Then: Geeky science nerds. Now: Most Likely to Fall in Love

At seventeen Winifred Sampson was sure of three things. She was a nerd, she hated Peter Duvall, and her crush on the quarterback would never be reciprocated. Ten years later, she can safely revise two of those constants. She’s a sexy, self-confident woman, more than woman enough to seduce a former high school football player. She doesn’t spare a thought for that turkey Peter…until she sees him at the reunion.

My, how he’s grown!

Peter never cared that he and Winnie were the class nerds. So they were smart. So they didn’t have dates. Big deal. Now they’re both smart and successful. She was always his fantasy girl, and he’s decided to make a few of his own dreams come true…in the most carnal way possible.

All he has to do is convince her he’s graduated—with honors—from dud to stud.

Warning: This title contains explicit sexuality, bad dancing, and man-on-door violence.

Author's Note: This novella was originally published by Samhain Publishing. This edition has been reedited, reformatted, and re-covered but has not been substantially altered.
