Tour Stop: The Merculians by Caro Soles


The
Danger Dance
The
Merculians Book 1
by
Caro Soles


Genre:
SciFi Adventure 

Life
and death action and intrigue aboard a military space vessel!


A
startling command from the dreaded Praetan brings chaos into the
tranquil lives of hermaphrodites Eulio and his lover Orosin. Using
the tour of the Merculian National Dance Company where Eulio is a
star as cover, they board the Wellington, a militaristic starship
that values nothing they believe in. Someone is passing secrets about
fleet movements and weaponry to the enemies in the Troia, but the
efforts of the two Merculians to unmask the spy only stir up a toxic
mix of hatred and violence. Who will have to die before the Praetan
is satisfied? The Danger Dance is a futuristic space adventure with
enough swashbuckling action and intrigue to keep even the most jaded
science fiction addict enthralled.


A
crackerjack SF novel––moving, eloquent, and richly textured. I
recommend it highly.” - Robert J. Sawyer, award-winning science
fiction writer

“…a
tingling subversity of gender, sexuality and goosebumping excitement.
Even better, Soles can rally write, with wit, sensuosity and depth.”
- Perry Brass, author of The Harvest, Angel Lust, etc.

A
well written novel, full of sexual and political intrigue, it grips
from the very first page and is difficult to put down….” -
Annette Gisby, author of Silent Screams.










The
Abulon Dance
The
Merculians Book 2

While
on tour to the mysterious planet Abulon, the pleasure-loving
hermaphrodites of The Merculian National Dance company are intrigued
by the virile patriarchal society they discover there. The natives
seemed friendly enough at first but when the star’s young lover is
kidnapped, the Merculians find themselves plunged into a brutal alien
Civil War they are ill-equipped to survive.








The
Memory Dance
The
Merculians Book 3



Merculian is usually
a peaceful world of artistic, fun-loving and sensual hermaphrodites.
The planet has always been safe, most Merculians blissfully
unfamiliar with the dark powers that lurk beneath the surface of
familiar things.


The trouble starts when the aliens arrive.
Celebrity dancer Triani picks up a mysterious Terran male in the
Pleasure Gardens, and an Ultraati rope dancer dies. Seemingly
unrelated, these two events unleash powerful forces that disrupt the
lives of everyone around him. Secrets from his carefully hidden past
boil to the surface, flooding him with fear. When his beloved Giazin
is threatened, he risks his life to save his child. Yet the
mysterious group known as the Watchers will not let go. Can Triani
free himself from the grip of these formidable beings or will they
force him to betray his human lover?











Caro
Soles wrote an opera when she was 10. It was short. In the '60's she
wrote two musicals and a few other stage pieces. She took part in
protest marches and gave up Paarl sherry and California grapes. With
several degrees under her belt, she taught French and Spanish in
universities, community colleges, a few private schools and
collegiates. Her only regret is that she didn't have much time for
free love.


In
the '70's, she went all domestic, got married, had two kids, acquired
two dogs and threw great dinner parties. In the '80's, she organized
fundraising events, did media relations work and sat on the Board of
Directors of the AIDS Committee of Toronto. She also marched in the
early Gay Pride Day Parades, and had her first novel accepted for
publication.

In
the 90s, she wrote a serialized soap opera under another name. She
gave up trying to write Harlequins and turned out a gay S&M
adventure instead, thus becoming a hot item in gay male erotica
circles. Five novels, four anthologies and a short story collection
later, along came the dreaded writers' block. So Caro organized The
Bloody Words Mystery Conference. Thus energized, she wrote her first
mystery- The Tangled Boy. Her next, Drag Queen in the Court of Death
was short listed for a Lambda Literary Award

And
then came the new millennium! Caro switched from teaching languages
to teaching creative writing. Now that her students could understand
her jokes, the classroom was much more jolly. She has taught writing
in Community colleges, Berkeley University and given workshops at
such varied places as the OutWrite Conference in Boston and the Tool
Box Leather Bar in Toronto. She now teaches several courses at George
Brown College, appropriately called Writing a Novel 1 and Writing a
Novel 2.

Tour Stop: CassaSeries by Alex J. Cavanaugh


CassaDawn
CassaStar
Series Prequel
By
Alex J Cavanaugh


Genre:
SciFi Adventure, Space Opera 

The
prequel to the Amazon best-selling Cassa series!


A
pilot in training...

Fighting
the odds, Byron is determined to complete Cosbolt training and join
the Cassan space fleet. Poised at the top of his class, only one
situation holds him back–his inability to work with anyone in the
cockpit. Byron’s excellent piloting skills won’t be enough
without a good navigator…

CassaStar
CassaStar
Series Book 1 

To
pilot the fleet’s finest ship…


Few
options remain for Byron. A talented but stubborn
young man with a troubled past and rebellious attitude, his
cockpit skills are his only hope. Slated to train as a Cosbolt
fighter pilot, Byron is determined to prove his worth and begin a new
life as he sets off for the moon base of Guaard.


Much
to Byron’s chagrin the toughest instructor in the fleet takes
notice of the young pilot. Haunted by a past tragedy, Bassa
eventually sees through Byron's tough exterior and insolence. When a
secret talent is revealed during training, Bassa feels compelled to
help Byron achieve his full potential.

As
war brews on the edge of space, time is running short. Byron requires
a navigator of exceptional quality to survive, and Bassa must
make a decision that could well decide the fate of both men. Will
their skills be enough as they embark on a mission that may
stretch their abilities to the limit?




“…calls
to mind the youthful focus of Robert Heinlein’s early military sf,
as well as the excitement of space opera epitomized by the many
Star
Wars
novels. Fast-paced military action and a youthful
protagonist make this a good choice for both young adult and adult
fans of space wars.” -

CassaFire
CassaStar
Series Book 2

From
the Amazon best-selling author -
CassaStar was just the
beginning…


The
Vindicarn War is a distant memory and Byron’s days of piloting
Cosbolt fighters are over. He has kept the promise he made to his
fallen mentor and friend - to probe space on an exploration vessel.
Shuttle work is dull, but it’s a free and solitary existence. The
senior officer is content with his life aboard the Rennather.


The
detection of alien ruins sends the exploration ship to the distant
planet of Tgren. If their scientists can decipher the language, they
can unlock the secrets of this device. Is it a key to the Tgren’s
civilization or a weapon of unimaginable power? Tensions mount as
their new allies are suspicious of the Cassan’s technology and
strange mental abilities.


To
complicate matters, the Tgrens are showing signs of mental powers
themselves; the strongest of which belongs to a pilot named Athee, a
woman whose skills rival Byron’s unique abilities. Forced to train
her mind and further develop her flying aptitude, he finds his
patience strained. Add a reluctant friendship with a young scientist,
and he feels invaded on every level. All Byron wanted was his
privacy…











CassaStorm
CassaStar
Series Book 3

A
storm gathers across the galaxy…


Commanding
the Cassan base on Tgren, Byron thought he’d put the days of battle
behind him. As a galaxy-wide war encroaches upon the desert planet,
Byron’s ideal life is threatened and he’s caught between the
Tgrens and the Cassans.


After
enemy ships attack the desert planet, Byron discovers another battle
within his own family. The declaration of war between all ten races
triggers nightmares in his son, threatening to destroy the boy’s
mind.


Meanwhile
the ancient alien ship is transmitting a code that might signal the
end of all life in the galaxy. And the mysterious probe that almost
destroyed Tgren twenty years ago could return. As his world begins to
crumble, Byron suspects a connection. The storm is about to break,
and Byron is caught in the middle…


With
a talent for worldbuilding and a compelling cast of characters, Alex
J. Cavanaugh combines high powered space battles and the challenges
of family dynamics to provide readers a space opera with heart.” -

mysteries
