Welcome to week 120th
week of My
Sexy Saturday. This
week’s theme is A Sexy Galaxy and this has to be one of my favorite themes. I
love writing sci-fi romance. Think Star Wars or Star Trek and throw in a little
Galaxy Quest then you’ll have my idea of favorite sci-fi movies. Add a little
Battlestar Galatica, Deep Space Nine or even Dark Matter and you’ll get more of
a hint of what I like. I guess you could say that I’m a sci-fi kinda girl.
Still, writing science
fiction romance isn’t as easy as it seems. See the technology needs to have
some basis in reality then once the author gets hold of that knowledge, all
they need to do is to twist it just a little and make it our own. That’s what I
did in my story More Than Robotics. In that book I used nanites to help the good guys achieve
their goals. This technology is just now coming into its own and I love using
them.
I apologize
for not doing Monday’s Austria Scoop and
Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life columns this week. I’m still reeling from
the recent events in Europe then the events in California just made things look
even more surreal. While I didn’t know any of the victims, there was always a
chance that I could have since we have friends in the area. Let’s just say the
whole thing isn’t good as I don’t understand what is going on in the world. It’s
a sad time and hopefully, we can get back to not having to look over our
shoulder soon. I do plan to put up the columns this week and other than the
holidays, I promise to be better.
I did have someone comment
this week and Rayne Forrest is the winner of last week’s $5 Amazon Gift
Certificate. Now remember, I’m just choosing a random day to give these $5
Amazon GCs. This week, it can be a choice of that or one of my stories if you’d
like that. Just let me know. And yes, I did say I’d be letting everyone know on
Thursday the winner but last Thursday was Thanksgiving and I don’t even think I
was online that day. Sorry but I can guarantee that the winner will be posted
here next Saturday at the very least.
Here’s the
setup of my novella, More Than
Robotics:
There were only three things in life that Captain Bekka
Taylor wanted in life: 1) Command of a Warrior Class Star Marauder, 2) To grow
old gracefully and 3) A lover who understood her fiery nature. She was
accomplishing two out of her three objectives very nicely when an internal IUA
conflict begins to encompass the whole world as she knows it. Then Lieutenant
Javed Malik comes aboard, clearly younger than she, with dreamy eyes and a
secret meant only for her. But letting him in means getting rid of years of
frustration and anguish and maybe her career. Can she survive another war or
the smoldering looks from her junior officer sent to protect her 24/7?
Here’s my seven paragraphs from More Than
Robotics:
“That’s
all for now and it’s most of what I know. But we all share the same concerns as
I’m sure you have. Javed has the specifics on our next contact. And please
don’t get mad at me for the unconventional way I have instructed him to give
those orders to you. It was necessary.”
I turned
to look at him suspiciously. “What is she talking about?”
In less
than the blink of an eye, he was again by my side, pulling me up from my chair,
his hands taking my face to gaze in my eyes. “Don’t struggle,” he whispered
close to my ear. “I think we have prying eyes.” His lips came down fiercely on
mine, his tongue snaking in to dominate me and I wanted to do the very thing he
asked that I not do. Instead I tried to let myself enjoy the moment as it had
been quite some time since I had had this type of human contact.
My hands
gripped his waist and pulled him even closer to me. I could feel his legs press
harder into me as his arms went completely around me. Within moments, I could
feel the hard bulge of his body and mine responded in kind. There was nothing
more I wanted to do except rip his clothes off that luscious male form.
He pulled
away from me and shuddered, resting his forehead against mine. “We should
really stop right now.” His brown eyes looked deep into mine and I nearly
passed out as his next words flashed across my consciousness. You are an
amazing woman and rest assured, we will finish this.
The last
bit had exploded across my brain and I raised a shaky hand to rub my forehead.
It was as if he were right inside me, whispering his thoughts.
Don’t fight it. Let it happen. The
clonedroids helped us to perfect one of their technologies for our use. This is
the major way they communicate between each other. You are now the proud owner
of some audiobotic nanotechnology. They attach to your nerves for hearing and
other pertinent areas of your brain associated with the function. From now on,
we’ll be able to communication this way as we are attuned only to each other.
No one else is on this frequency.

Intense scene. That was pretty rude of him, I must say, inserting nano-tech through a luscious kiss.
ReplyDeleteRude or sexy...I guess it depends upon one's view. LOL! Thanks for stopping by Alexis! I appreciate it!
