Greetings, all!
Just dropping a line to let you all know that my 3-story compilation e-book, Lifemates is going on sale tonight on Amazon for only $0.99! It is the first in a collection of tales set in the world of "Wild Space Saga," a webcomic created by yours truly and my cowriter, Terence Pegasus.
Though the comic is on hiatus at the moment pending acquisition of a layout artist, our DeviantArt page is still very much alive, presenting tons of character art and background information by the both of us. As for where to find Lifemates, just click on the magic link right here:
Lifemates contains 3 stories:
The Hunter and the Tiger
Ni’Linya, a indentured Feylan pleasure girl is the only friend in the life of Cole, a world-weary human assassin for the Second Imperium. For the past four years, each finished job takes him back to the penthouses of Xiao, and into the arms of his “Tiger”: the beautiful female to whom he pours out his heart, and whose bed he shares. As they indulge their nights, his Tiger sweetly calls him “Hunter,” and to his chagrin, refuses his money until the events surrounding one fateful mission to a hostile planet bring about revelations and changes in the small world of the star-crossed couple, both tragic and blessed.
Combat Pay Blues
Desperate for the considerable pay offered by a shady android, Isibar, a freelance spy for the Planetary Alliance and sometimes space pirate, takes on an assignment that no one has yet been brave (or crazy) enough to accept: infiltrating the reclusive world of Icona, the heart of the despotic, expansionist Second Imperium, in order to divulge their deepest, darkest secrets and ensure the safety of the free human worlds. Despite its initial ease, Isibar soon learns that this is a job that comes with far more hitches than he ever bargained for, and reveals far more sinister goings-on than he ever would have ever imagined.
Her Hand in Mine
Zynj used to be the shining capital planet of all human worlds until that fragile First Imperium fractured in a series of horrific wars. Now it is a burnt, polluted husk, with all humans living in underground cities and scrapping the once proud cities of the surface for raw materials to sell off-world. On this planet of provincial attitudes, Jules Galway, a lonely scrap hauler, reunites with Sar'vana Van, a Felyan friend from his childhood, who has returned with her people for routine maintenance on the systems that keep life for humans possible on the ruined world. The two happily continue their relationship where it left off ten long years ago, only to discover that in spite of the purist ways of Jules’s society, their feelings have grown beyond the puppy love of their youth. On a world that chafes under the fact that they live by alien charity, Jules and Sar’vana, having lived mutually peaceful lives until now, are exposed to internal and external perils they never thought would find them.
As you can see, Lifemates has a lot to offer. It is 3 works of what I call "Open-minded sci-fi." So I hope this tickles your fancy for a wonderful deal. Come and get it while you can, because the sale ends on Saturday, 2/12/16 at 11PM PST. Come with us on this journey, and if you want to check out our DeviantArt page, just follow the link here:
