This year has been creeping by for me and I’m super okay with that. I have stories to write. I prefer that time slows a bit. (grins)
I was always told that June was named after the Roman goddess, Juno, the goddess of marriage. There has been some debate over that in recent years. Some say June was named after Lucius Junius Brutus, the founder of the Roman Republic. Others say it was a nod to Latin word iuniores, which means “younger ones.”
As I’m a romance writer and reader, I like the goddess of marriage origin story. (laughs)
And it is appropriate because June is the month I most associate with weddings. The weather is usually nice in my corner of the universe. There are plenty of outdoor weddings, especially with pandemic considerations. Fresh flowers are plentiful. There are some great photo opps.
I LOVE weddings. I often cry with happiness as an attendee. They are a celebration of love and I think we should have as many celebrations of love as we possibly can.
Some of my favorite people are named June. (big hugs) I’m wishing all those buddies and everyone else a wonderful month!

Under Strain
A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.
***
Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.
That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.
A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.
Strain wants to claim her. Forever.
Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.
When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.
She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.

Under Strain is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.
