ENTER MY CONTEST TO WIN BLACK DRAGON

 

BLACK DRAGON, a novella from the Borealis Universe, is coming October 1, 2011 from Desert Breeze Publishing. BOREALIS is an aging space station at the edge of the known universe. Various authors contribute to this series with novellas... like episodes of your favorite sci-fi shows. Like in all my stories, there is a cat, this time a white Angora. You might recognize the actor and model I portrayed as the inspiration for my characters. Namely, Cover Model Jimmy Thomas, and the lovely actress Alyssa Milano.

I am still waiting for the book cover. Will post it when I have it.

This is what the story is about:

A gambler is cheating in a den of the Borealis space station, and Lieutenant Zara  Frankel intends to catch him in the act. She always gets her man, but this one could prove more than she can handle.

Captain Czerno Drake, code name Black Dragon, has come under cover to break his innocent uncle from the most secure penitentiary in the galaxy, on the Borealis space station. He will stop at nothing to succeed, even enrolling the help of the lovely straight arrow TPP enforcer. When Zara realizes that she's been used by a shrewd but seductive rebel, her reaction surprises everyone, most of all herself.

How I became addicted to my eBook reader by Vijaya Schartz

BLUE LIONESS, by Vijaya Schartz, is out today!

Blue Lioness
Chronicles of Kassouk Book Four
by Vijaya Schartz
Romantic Science Fiction
from Desert Breeze Publishing
Release date: August 1, 2011

Available in all eBook formats everywhere.

In the face of Human slavery, Back Sword Captain Ariela of Kassouk must do the unthinkable. Rebel against the Mutant regime. But she cannot do it alone.

Ariela suspects the king's death is no accident. And the tyrant who usurped the throne looks guilty as hell. As leader of the Human rebellion against the Mutant rulers, Ariela is desperate for help, and Lord Starro, the handsome Crown Prince of the Star Children, offers the technology the Human faction lacks. But can Ariela trust a spoiled, arrogant foreign prince who never fought a battle, and thinks he is destined to rule the universe? Is she trading one tyrant for another? No matter how kind, handsome, or fascinating, Starro has frightening mental abilities. And this alliance is not safe, especially for Ariela's heart.

Each story in the Chronicles of Kassouk series can be read independently, but if you are like me you like to read them in the right order. Here they are:

WHITE TIGER - Book One
RED LEOPARD - Book Two
BLACK JAGUAR - Book Three
BLUE LIONESS - Book Four

This series would now be complete, except that I am now writing a prequel, which will tell the story of how it all started. The book will be titled NOAH'S ARK, and will be released from Desert Breeze in April of 2012.

Enjoy!
