Author Jessica E. Subject is heating up
the cosmos this month with two new science fiction romances! Out today is SATIN
SHEETS IN SPACE, an erotic m/f/m short story in Decadent
Publishing’s 1Night Stand line.
And on May 30, her erotic
science fiction romance AN
UNEXPECTED RETURN (m/f) will be released under Decadent’s Elatia series (if
you missed my cover reveal of the launch titles, click
here).
To help celebrate these
new additions to the SFR universe, the author came aboard for an interview.
She’s also giving away an Amazon.com e-gift card to one lucky passenger
(details follow the interview).
Let’s chug-chug away!
The Galaxy Express:
Please describe SATIN SHEETS IN SPACE using six words.
JES: Danyka’s date – Alien abduction or paradise?
TGE: What’s the Hollywood elevator pitch for AN UNEXPECTED RETURN?
JES: Star Wars meets Pretty Woman
TGE: In general, what
types of science fiction elements do you like to explore in your stories?
JES: Most include varies types of aliens who travel through
space using many different techniques. They are generally more romance than
science fiction, and deal with interracial (interspecies) relationships.
TGE: What kind of
heat level can readers expect from these releases?
JES: These are both erotic romances, which I would rate at a
four. By Decadent’s definition: Sex and language will be hot, graphic, and
plentiful. The romance will be the focus of the story with erotic elements.
TGE: AN UNEXPECTED
RETURN features a blue-skinned hero on the cover. Given that the depiction of
alien characters is pretty rare on romance ebook covers, why did you and
Decadent decide to go that route?
JES: In this case, it was simply being true to the
character. Aris comes from Tyto, where everyone has blue skin. I have other
blue aliens in some of my stories, but they travel to Earth and are able to
blend in rather than stick out. In An
Unexpected Return, the planet Elatia is a tourist destination for the
various systems surrounding it. Having aliens there who are blue or gold,
extremely tall or short, even covered in scales is not something that would
make the Elatians pause like here on Earth.
TGE: Describe your
last science fiction romance sighting (e.g., a film you watched, a book or
article you read).
JES: I’m actually reading Forever Across the Stars by Azura Ice, which is the first story to
be released in the Elatia line. There are many more science fiction romance
stories on my bookshelf and ereader, waiting to be read. As for films, I don’t
get to watch them as often as I’d like. But I am looking forward to seeing Men
In Black III.
TGE: What else can
readers look forward to from you?
I plan to continue the multiple series that I’ve started,
work on some more super short stories, and write a new series and some
individual stories.
