Starburst is the final of the Warriors of the Elector novels, and is the chance for Chowd to become... He's so much more than just the son of a ruthless murdering dictator and if only he can get Meredith to understand that...

Snippet:
Duvall watched him with assessing eyes. Chowd knew he’d been in this position before and was obviously assessing Chowd’s behavior before allowing it.
He stood quietly, waiting for Duvall to reach his own conclusions. In his own mind, he had no question over his actions. Meredith didn’t want the ambassador’s attention, and he would move all the stars in the galaxy to ensure she didn’t have to endure it.
He knew Duvall could argue the anti-fraternization rules the Admiralty had set in place, but the Elector was a place where people made decisions that worked, whether or not it broke any other rules. He snickered to himself at the thought.
Starburst:

Can Meredith and Chowd survive the politics and war, or will secrets tear them apart?

Meredith Gentry is a woman with a mission. Her skills are vital in assisting in the defeat of the rogues who seek to annihilate the Federation. Her task, to decode all the files and communications found on the Alpha Star Colony, is made far more difficult by the proximity of the man who makes her yearn for love.

Chowd knows he’s different. He’s an alien-human hybrid, one of very few. Those differences always kept him apart—except on the Elector. Until now he’s accepted that...mostly.

When Meredith is sent to work on the Elector, the differences that should keep them apart don’t seem to matter—yet it’s Chowd’s heritage that threatens to destroy the fragile peace between the humans and Ru’Edan.

With so much on the line, is there truly a way these two lovers can be together? Especially when Chowd’s heritage is exposed.

It's time for another Six Sentence Sunday and it's time to move to the second novella in the Warriors world - Star of the Fleet!

Snippet:

The burn, low in her belly, in reaction to his words turned hotter. She wanted to stop the conversation, to get up and walk away, but she couldn’t. His eyes held her in place; the emotion in their cool depths called to her soul. “Gustav...”
“Kera, please. I need to understand. Why did you leave?”

Starline:

When betrayal and loyalty collide, can love overcome all obstacles?

Kera Aarens is strong, sexy, and focused on her new role as commander of security on Aenna, but she’s recovering from injuries she suffered at the hand of Crick Sur Banden, the leader of the Ru’Edan Rogues. Offered the job of protecting the hidden Admiralty base, this driven warrior is desperate to regain her balance.

Admiral Gustav Elphin is in charge of the base and was previously Kera’s commander aboard The Star of Ishtar, the scene of his greatest regret. He vividly remembers—and regrets—not fulfilling the promise of one night of passion with this amazing woman. Now Kera’s back in his life and he’d do just about anything to close the emotional chasm between them.

Facing a breach of station security, and multiple personal threats to each of them, Kera and Gustav must work together to neutralize the agent who’s hidden among the workers of the station.

Somewhere along the way, maybe, they will find a second chance at love.

Welcome back for another Six Sentence Sunday post! Right now I'm focusing on the Warriors of the Elector Series. First released in 2011, the entire series was reworked and re-released in 2016.

Snippet:

“No, Raven. What she needs now is rest, and honestly, I don’t think you’re currently in the right frame of mind to see her. Give me a couple of hours—”
“No. I need to see her now.” His voice was like shards of ice, and he attempted once more to push forward.

Blurb:

Jemma Cardnew is hardnosed and bitter. Even worse, she is brittle. No way does she want anything to do with the Elector and it’s crew…including the gorgeous Raven, who intrigues her.
Raven Fraser, engineer also has his problems. First, the Matrix is damaged leaving the Elector dangerously unprotected. The woman of his dreams is avoiding him and any possibility of a future together. Topping it all off Crick Sur Banden continues to be a thorn in the side of the Empire.
Jemma has orders to protect the Elector and those it carries, Raven has his as well, get the systems back online. Can passion and possibly forever bloom on the eve of the greatest war that humanity will ever face against a foe with no fear?

Renovations - The Never Ending Hell

9/25/2020

In case you've missed my Instagram photos, Facebook photos or any other, let me just point out, these renovations have been happening since the end of May.

The kitchen.

One of the most important rooms in a house. A selling point, if you will. Ours was cruddy. Dirty. Grotty. Unusable.

Our oven was the first thing we got rid of. I limped along with it for nearly 18 months but replaced if before Christmas last year. The old one was so old, there were no books in the manufacturer's archives. (Honest! I emailed them to check!!)

In May we stripped out the kitchen itself. Thankfully, with the use of my u-beaut slow cooker we had some 70+ meals in the freezer! So we didn't have to eat out at all during the works.

The installation of the new kitchen was completed by the end of the first week of June. We’d been planning it since September 2019 but had planned for the end of 2020 for it. Except when the COVID pandemic struck we moved it forward to help our kitchen company keep their staff employed at a time when everyone was cancelling work.

It was really one week of real discomfort and pain, but worth it all. By the Friday, the kitchen was installed and we were ready to do the floors. Except we had no experience with laying floating floors. Can you say absolute beginners?

What an improvement but there was still more work to do. The floors needed to be replaced. There was vinyl on both sides and it still looked grungy. Until a little help from a friend! (Well actually a lot!!)

When the original kitchen only quote came in at $24000 we nearly died. In the end, with everything added in, we’ll have done it all (including floors and whitegoods) for in the region of $19000
It’s a figure that hurts, but not one cent was on credit and we’ve brought it in totally under budget!
Of course, next year is the bathrooms. Let’s see how we can do them.
