Celebrating Christine Klocek-Lim's New Sci Fi Romance With Evernight Publishing

All day today on our Cyber Launch Party Blog, we're celebrating Christine Klocek-Lim's new sci fi romance release with Evernight Publishing!

WHO SAW THE DEEP by Christine Klocek-Lim

When Noah moves back home after grad school, he doesn’t expect a simple handyman job to turn deadly. Amelia seems like a sweet old lady with a run-down house, but appearances can be deceptive. When an alien ship lands in her woods, Noah discovers that everything he believed about Earth and human civilization is wrong.

Amelia already gave her heart to one man—does she really want to let another one inside? Even though Noah is everything she ever wanted, can she really trust him? He seems like a good person, but her family’s genetic legacy is more important than romance.

When all their secrets are laid bare, Noah and Amelia discover that the survival of their species may be more dependent on love than either could have imagined. Civilization endures because of anonymous acts executed by ordinary individuals. And love, especially in the face of betrayal, is worth everything.

Christine Klocek-Lim spends most of her time daydreaming—which isn't much different from what she did as a girl in northeast Pennsylvania, as a college student in Pittsburgh, as a twenty-something technical writer in New York City, and as a young mother in suburban New Jersey. For the past decade or so she's been dream-surfing in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania.

She’s published one young adult novel, Disintegrate, and is pleased to be publishing her first sci-fi romance, Who Saw the Deep, an Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award semi-finalist.

She received the 2009 Ellen La Forge Memorial Prize in poetry. She has four chapbooks: Ballroom - a love story, Cloud Studies - a sonnet sequence, How to photograph the heart, and The book of small treasures.

Kicking Off Michelle Levigne's The Chorillan Cycle Series

Today on our Cyber Launch Party Blog, we're celebrating the release of the first two books in Michelle Levigne's The Chorillan Cycle Series!

AZULI EYES by Michelle Levigne

The Chorillan Cycle: Book One

The colonists on Chorillan had secrets. Their mistake was hiding those secrets from the Scout Corps, especially when children were in danger.

The Present Era, Commonwealth Universe
Scout Captain Ian Fieran and his team are hunting Gen’gineers—genetic terrorists that decimate entire colonies in the name of “improving” the Human race. When the Scouts land on the planet Chorillan, they plunge into the midst of a deadly mystery. Children are vanishing into the wilderness, driven by a sudden sensory overload that strikes without any way of predicting who could be affected and when. The Azuli, mysterious, sentient creatures, are targeted for destruction. But are they friends, helping the children through the disease of Phase, or enemies, luring innocents away to their death?

Miranda Riallon, the daughter of a politically powerful family and a teacher, has been researching Phase, hoping for a cure. But will her discoveries come in time to help Ranny—the orphan she loves and hopes to adopt? And her own brother, who is missing?

When Ian and Miranda join forces on a desperate mission to unravel the mystery, they discover more than just a common cause to bind their hearts.

SCOUTS' PRIDE by Michelle Levigne

The Chorillan Cycle: Book Two

She was trained to be a hero among the active-duty Scouts. It’s all she knows. But will it be enough to finally bring justice and rescue for the Wildings on Chorillan?

The Present Era, Commonwealth Universe

For moons, the Azuli have been warning the Wildling outposts that danger is approaching. Now the outposts have completely vanished, and Scout Captain Ian Feiran can’t find any clue as to their whereabouts. He suspects officials in the Chorillan government—or even his wife’s wealthy brother and mother—of fueling the rising prejudice and hatred against the Wildings.

But the stakes are ratcheted even higher when his daughter, Kay’li, is at the right age to go through the pain and confusion of Phase…and risk becoming a Wildling. If he leaves Chorillan to save his daughter, everything he and his wife, Miranda, have worked so hard to establish will fail. Hundreds of Wildings might die every generation.

What Captain Fieran doesn’t count on is the passionate mission of a daughter, who is more like him than either of them could imagine.

Deadly secrets. A Scout Corps’ mission. Passion and justice. Fall into the world of the Chorillan Cycle.

WARS OF THE HEART by Inari Gray

Someone has been tampering with Earth’s Ozone Shield, and judging from the malfunction locations, Intergalactic Diplomat Katherine Morgan is convinced it’s more than a mere technical glitch. Worried for the health and safety of her people, she petitions the Peace Keeping Intergalactic Council to conduct a full investigation and offer any kind of assistance Earth might need in the event of an ambush. Unfortunately, the only assistance they can offer is in the mercy of the impetuous King of Salatiel, a man whose heart Katherine stomped on more than ten years ago.

The terms of the arrangement? Force an alliance, get Ja-el Lamar to yield at the threat of losing his kingdom. She didn't take into account how treacherous it would be, faced with everything she thought she no longer cared about, everything she left behind.

Meanwhile, Ja-el has an agenda of his own. He hates the Peace Keeping Intergalactic Council and everything it stands for. He's never trusted those in power there and he certainly won't start now. Especially not when they're sending Katherine Morgan in his direction. A woman he vowed to never see again. Whom they all know has the power to destroy him.

BOREALIS - THAT SYNCING FEELING by Michelle Levigne

On the other side of a space anomaly, Rover Pilot Nureen Keala came face-to-face with her childhood hero. Problem: Creed died fifty years ago in a devastating space battle. Telepathically linked with a shapeshifting creature named Tessur, Nureen had to get her scout craft repaired and get off the Borealis, but she wasn't sure who she could trust. Certainly not this Tedrin Creed look-alike, and maybe not even Tessur. Forget the TPP.

Tedrin Creed had been stuck on the Borealis five years, after falling through the space anomaly during a massive battle. He doubted Nureen's claim to be a Rover -- the uniform and technology were totally wrong. Problem: she sure reminded him of his best friend, "Killer" Keala. Bigger problem: the anomaly was closing, time was running out, and he had to convince someone he didn't quite trust to escape with him now -- or never.

BLUE FIRE by Michelle Levigne

Rhianni Day was born on the colony world, Mallachrom. When her father's Rover squadron was sent to the other side of the galaxy, she made a blood vow with Petroc Ash that she would return someday. Then Mallachrom was invaded by the Talroqi, hive creatures who used Humans as hosts and food. Rhianni stayed away, unwilling to face the devastation.

Years later, as a Rover captain and medic, she was sent back to investigate the survivors of the invasion. Were they damaged, dangerous, puppets of the Talroqi, or victims of vicious lies?

Petroc led the survivors, and while he had dreamed of Rhianni's return, he knew that fulfilling their childhood vow would put her life in danger. Neither of them dreamed that they were mere tools in a war that had been brewing for decades, and was about to come to an explosive conclusion.

Descending into shadowy worlds of slavery, Yadira endures a dark angel stalking her dreams and watches the quiet I-Marshal become dangerous in her defense.

Set Phasers To Sizzle...in this sexy new sci fi romance from Karen Kelley.

Special agent Roan Hendrix is a straight shooter with weapons and women, so he doesn't appreciate it when his boss throws him a curve. But what a curve. A half-human, half-Nerakian who needs a one-on-one crash course in how best to channel her powers. And while Roan's usually a master at separating business from pleasure, one glance into Lyraka's green eyes is enough to spark scorching fantasies of seriously close encounters with the tall, tanned temptress...

Lyraka's trying not to mind the way Mister Macho Special Agent keeps barking orders, but it's impossible to ignore Roan's rough-and-ready appeal. The sensitive ponytail guys Lyraka grew up with didn't have a clue how to handle her outsized sex drive, but Roan looks like he'd be up to the task in every way. Better still, he never got the memo that Lyraka's human side makes her - ahem - "special talents" even greater than the average Nerakian's...

Celebrating the Release of Karen Kelley's DATING OUTSIDE YOUR DNA

Karen Kelley became very adept at how things worked in the publishing world. You write a book, you mail it off, you get rejected, you write another book. She did this for six years until one day she talked her husband into mailing her manuscript for her. She couldn't take one more look of pity from the postal workers. Being the loving husband that he is, he mailed Bachelor Party to Hilary Sares at Kensington to be considered for the Precious Gem line on a Tuesday. On Friday of that same week, Hilary called to offer a contract.

Currently Karen writes for the Brava Imprint with Kensington Publishing and has the fabulous Kate Duffy for an editor. Karen writes full-time, and collects junk which she fondly calls antiques. Her husband can still be talked into mailing her manuscripts and also helping with her publicity. She has two grown children, one son-in-law and three grandchildren and a very spoiled Pekinese. She loves sitting on the patio on a warm spring day and procrastinating about her approaching deadline(s).
