My stories wouldn’t have been possible without the insights and research completed by the scientific community. I read scientific articles, watch podcasts, contact scientists and other experts in the field directly to ensure my theories are sound.
MANY scientists and other experts contributed to the ‘challenges’ of cyborg self-healing and reproduction, for example. I couldn’t have written the cyborg series without their help.
Experts usually refuse financial compensation in return for their insights. As a thank you, I often make donations to their research projects.
I also donate a small percentage of monthly sales to ongoing projects.
Mote Marine Laboratory in Florida, for example, is making great contributions to the field of evolutionary biology (the key science in most of my stories) with their coral restoration program. They are ‘breeding’ corals to develop strains that can withstand higher ocean temperatures (i.e. global warming). This research is shared with the rest of the scientific community and is helping restore coral reefs all over the world.
To date, donations from sales of my books have been responsible for the planting of approximately 140 coral fragments.
The inspiration for this post came from a discussion with a reading buddy (waves to her). I hope to make this an annual feature. I think it is important to know your favorite writers compensate experts for the research they use. They give back to the community that has helped them.

No one grounds a barbarian warrior.
Qulpa, a Chamele warrior, lost everyone he loved in the brutal Succession Wars. Flying is the only thing that brings him joy. Serving as his team’s pilot is the sole duty he has left. Then a horrific crash leaves him injured and unable to fly.
The one being who can help him is also his gerel, the female destined to be his. She insists she doesn’t feel their connection. Qulpa is certain his beautiful mate is lying and nothing will stop him from finding out why.
Nayan knows the injured barbarian is her warrior, her one chance at a forever bond. His dominance makes her feel safe. His gentle touch inflames her passion. His kisses scorch her very soul. The tall muscular male tempts her as no one else has.
But she has a deadly secret. If it’s exposed, her injured male will lose more than his ability to fly. Both of them will die. She can’t take that risk, not for him, not for them, not for a lifespan filled with love.
