Celebrating Pauline Baird Jones' New Sci Fi Romance - GIRL GONE NOVA

Today we celebrate the release of GIRL GONE NOVA, the sequel to Pauline Baird Jones' award-winning novel THE KEY.

Pauline is the award-winning author of eight novels of action-adventure, suspense, romantic suspense and comedy-mystery. She's also written two non-fiction books, ADAPTING YOUR NOVEL FOR FILM and MADE-UP MAYHEM which released August 2008. Her seventh novel, OUT OF TIME, an action-adventure romance set in World War II, is a 2007 EPPIE winner in the single title/mainstream category. Her eighth novel, THE KEY, released from LL Dreamspell, is the Dream Realm Awards winner in its category and won a bronze medal in the Independent Publisher awards.

Originally from Wyoming , Pauline and her family moved from New Orleans to Texas before Katrina.

GIRL GONE NOVA, a new sci fi adventure from Pauline Baird Jones is L & L Dreamspell's 100th release!

Doc - Delilah Oliver Clementyne's - orders are simple: do the impossible and do it yesterday. A genius/bad ass, she does the impossible on a regular basis. But this time the impossible is complicated by an imminent war between the Earth expedition to the Garradian Galaxy and the Gadi, an encounter with some wife-hunting aliens, and not one but two bands of time travelers.
The only way it could get worse? If the heart she didn't know she had starts beating for the wrong guy...

"After a multiyear absence, Baird Jones makes a very welcome return by once again visiting the alternate reality first explored in The Key. Time paradoxes run amok in this extraordinarily complex tale. Amongst the densely packed and mind-bending action, there's also some welcome humor. A spectacular ride!" Romantic Times Magazine, Jill Smith, 4 and 1/2 stars!

  7. Hello and thanks for checking out the book launch!

    @ Betty - thanks!!! You are a great friend!

    @ Jodi - I am working on it right now and readers won't have to wait three years this time! (I hope! LOL!) It's scheduled to release next April. :-)

    @ Corrina - thanks for kind words. Goddess Fish Productions did it and I thought they did a fun job (on the trailer). :-)

    @ Karen - Many thanks to you, too. I'm not sure how long running it will be. I plot by the seat of my pants, but I love writing SFR and have no plans to return to Earth at this time. LOL

    @ DeNita - Many, many thanks! I'm doing my older ladies's version of the happy dance. LOL!

  25. Cool... I am picking up The Key to read first because I am like that I can't jump into a series even when there is different characters. I can't wait to read Girl Done Nova - the name itself sounds great.

  40. Many thanks for stopping by, Linda. Glad you find the books interesting. They were talking on The Galaxy Express about how to interest readers in SFR. Hardest part is probably letting readers know we are around. LOL

  45. The new book sounds wonderful and I look forward to more books from you. My question for you is...What do you think makes the sci-fi genre so appealing to people and do you have any sci-fi/fantasy movies/tv shows that are particularly inspiring to you?

  46. Hi Pauline

    Congrats on your release! I didn't realize GGN had a prequel...looks like I'm going to have to go buy that first!

    Here's to many, many sales!

  47. Hi, joder! I'm no expert. I just know what I like, but I think its the possibilities, the sense of adventure and wondering what else is out there? I loved Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis. Not loving SG Universe. I remember watching Lost in Space and Land of the Giants. LOL! STNG. Loved the new Star Trek movie. Good stuff. Used to watch the original Battlestar Galactica, too. Oh my. LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Congrats on the release! Love the trailer. My question is how long did it take you to write GGN?

    I have The Key in my TBR pile too.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hi, Kelly,
    Each book is stand alone, but I've been told it adds to the fun to have read The Key first. :-)
    Thanks for stopping by!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Hi, AnnaM! Thanks for stopping by! How long did it take? Well, in one sense, it took me three years, but we had a family challenge, so I didn't write that much for a couple of years. In the end, it took me about six months to write it. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  51. This book sounds so great! I'm really liking the new trend for science fiction romance. And I love the trailer!

  57. Hi Pauline. Love The Key, so I'm sure to love this newest, and hope to see more from you in this genre. Have to agree with you about Stargate Universe, not as good as SG1.
