R I see stories in Images...

by Jessica E. Subject

   When I write my stories, I tend to see pictures in my head. Sometimes it plays out like a movie reel where I can see all of the action. Other times, it’s an image here and there.  

   When I planned out each story in The Underground series, there were certain images I saw that had to be written in. For Never Gonna Let You Go, the opening scene with Erik pouring water over himself was one of them. Also, when the mysterious black creature attacks Calla. I could honestly smell the creatures putrid breath and feel its saliva dripping on me as I wrote that scene.

   In Never Gonna Desert You, I saw that creature again, as well as the confused expression on Brook’s face when she learns of her father’s deception. I also heard the dripping of water when she is brought into the caves of Airondelle. Or maybe that was my aquarium filter. LOL

   The most assertive image for this series relates to Never Gonna Say Goodbye. I kept seeing a phoenix over and over. In fact, here’s one similar to what I saw. I also saw a lot of destruction, but as to what was destroyed, well, you’ll have to read the story to find out.

   If you want to see some of the other images that tie into this series, you can see them on my Pinterest board for the series.

Never Gonna Say Goodbye

The Underground #3

By Jessica E. Subject

Erotic Gay Sci-Fi/Dystopian Romance

Rebels, former Planet Core employees, have banded together in The Underground. They fight against the policies of the corporation that owns the lease on their lives. They will have their freedom or they will die trying.

The rebellion is stirring…

Will Garrison leads the fight against the control of the corporation—he wants his people to have their rights to live and love back. Reunited with his lover, former Planet Core medic Tim Harris, the men disagree on how to take down the corporation.

And the desire for freedom…

Tim’s plan requires that he provide a distraction while Will leads The Underground’s forces in a lightning raid, but who can Will trust when he’s already been betrayed once?

May cost these men everything…

Timing is everything, because if either fails The Underground may be crushed under the weight of Planet Core once and for all. 

Excerpt:

   “Let’s do this.” Gun aimed to shoot, Will took a deep breath and stepped inside the portal. The mass pulled his skin in every direction. His stomach churned. And then the sensations ended.

   He’d made it. Resting his hand on the closest structure, he inhaled sharply, trying to gain his bearings.

   The rest of the team gathered beside him, Brook and Melina the only two not affected by the trip.

   “Shit.” He needed to focus, regain control. He blinked hard then glanced around the transporter room. Empty. No one had come to meet them.

   “Something’s wrong,” Melina whispered, ready to fire her own weapon. “There is always at least one guard in here.”

   “I guess we got lucky.” Dale sauntered to the center of the space, raised his arms and spun in a circle. “We are all alone in here. Time to find the fucker and take him down.”

   A sudden hiss silenced him. Red light burned his clothing and left a clean, cauterized hole through his chest. His eyes rolled back in his head, and he fell to the ground.

   Will rushed in front of the others, shoving them behind the portal.

   So much for being alone. How many waited to take them down? He peeked around the structure, weapon at the ready. No one. The guards had to be hiding, waiting for him and his crew to come out.

   And come out they would, fighting all the way.

Break Time and Bed Time

By Jessica Subject

Hey everyone! I want to talk about quick love stories, as are my stories in Decadent’s The Edge line. These are stories you can read in a half an hour or less, without interruptions, of course. Why are these great? 

Well, you can read them on your ereader, phone, or computer over lunch, while waiting for appointments or the kids, and even right before bed. As a reader, you get the satisfaction of finishing a story in a short period of time.

Now, as a writer, these stories aren’t always the easiest to pen. You have to fit a whole story line into a limited amount of space, and readers almost always say they wish the story had been longer.

When I first started writing, I didn’t think I could write anything shorter than 50,000 words. But, I had to try. One of my critique partners told me that these shorties don’t tell the entire story. They’re only a glimpse into the character's life, and don’t contain much back story, so leave anything unnecessary out. And only include necessary characters. So, that’s what I did with the three erotica stories that I have in Decadent Publishing’s The Edge line, Alien Lover, Crash Landing, and The Power of Three. All of them are super hot and super short.

Unlike some erotica stories though, I have to have a happily-for-now ending, or even a happily-ever-after. I’m programmed that way, I guess.

I like the books I read to be the same way, too. I am satisfied knowing the characters are at least going to be together for now.

What about you? Do you read short stories? If so, are you left satisfied at the end, or wanting more?

Crash Landing

A story from The Edge

By Jessica E. Subject

Sci-Fi MMF Ménage Erotica

ISBN: 978-1613333884

As his ship plummets toward Earth, Cael believes his life to be over. His last ditch effort to save himself ends in a fiery crash. When he wakes up, he believes he’s entered the afterlife, but his surroundings indicate otherwise. He made it to Earth. But who saved him, and what do they want with him?

Available from:

Amazon (US/UK) | Decadent Publishing | All Romance | B&N | more

Book Trailer:

Excerpt:

Cael gripped the cushioned arms of the captain’s chair as his ship tumbled bow over stern. The console flashed a blinding red in front of him. Piercing alarms drilled into his mind and he lost focus. The seconds raced by as he plummeted toward Earth. He’d fucked up this mission of peace. Contact with his home planet had ended months ago. No one from Narien could save him now. His death was imminent.

The water below wouldn’t soften his landing. At its current speed, his ship would disintegrate on splashdown. The planet’s gravity pulled him down faster.

He coughed; the acrid scent of fried electronics stung his nose and the back of his throat. Please let my death be quick.

A rattling to the left caught his attention above all other noise. The handle on the cabin door shook. Freedom. It wasn’t his time to die, if he could get out.

The altimeter on the dashboard read six thousand meters, high enough to jump and land safely with his chute. Only to land in frigid water and die of exhaustion or hypothermia from treading without any hope of a rescue.

“Shit.” But he’d die if he stayed. He had to take the chance. Yanking off his safety harness, he pulled himself to standing and strained to reach the recess where his pack hung. Stretching up, he fingered the cloth strap. Not close enough to grab hold of it.

The ship jolted and flung him to the stern. He weaved his arm through the straps of the pack on his way past, dislodging it from the hook. Yes.

His triumph was short-lived as he flew starboard, smashing his shoulder against the wall. He groaned when an electrifying spasm shot down his arm to the tips of his fingers. The ship lurched again, and he tumbled back toward the console. He grabbed the door, his feet dangling in mid air. If he didn’t get out now, he’d forfeit any chance to survive.

The ship righted again. He planted his feet against the bottom of the door and twisted the crank. The latch snapped open, filling him with a sense of hope. Careful to keep at least one hand on the handle at all times, he slung the pack over his shoulders.

All set. Time to jump. Pushing off the floor, he slammed his uninjured shoulder against the door. It blew open and tore away from its hinges, lost to the sky.

Cael teetered on the edge before plunging out of his failing ship. Wind whipped all around him as he twisted to catch his bearing during freefall.

Glancing down, he spied crystal blue lake, much closer than he’d expected. Too close.

He jerked the cord on his chute–several hundred feet lower than he should have. At least. His feet skimmed the cold waves just as his chute caught the current and heaved him back into the air.

The ship splashed into the water beside him, disintegrating into millions of pieces. He raised his hands in front of his face as shrapnel flew at him. Tiny shards sliced into his arms and legs, but the extreme heat from the cloud of steam billowing up at him stung the most.

From the moment his toes touched down in the once frigid water, his skin sizzled. He screamed in agony. His death would have been quicker and less agonizing if he’d remained in the ship.

A hard piece of his spacecraft smashed down on his head, and he welcomed the darkness.

My latest Science Fiction Romance release from Decadent Publishing is a fun, wild ride. It’s a story about an android special agent who falls in love with the woman he’s supposed to protect. She doesn’t like mechanoids, but slowly falls for him despite learning her father made him especially for her!

DOWNLOAD MY LOVE

Security Core agent Everett is assigned a special case—protect the daughter of Simon Gold, the father of modern mechanoid life. To ensure her survival, Everett’s given a special EMO upgrade, and can experience love for the first time. He’s soon head over heels and the super-charged sexual attraction threatens to fry his circuits while he fights to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. 

Samantha Gold detests her father’s work. She’s an off-the-grid back-to-lander who wants to keep life simple with her cows and her crops. When her father dies and inadvertently transfers a secret code to a hidden receptor in her brain, it’s only android Agent Everett who can protect her. Can she ever forgive her father for creating Everett—a man so perfect for her that he even loves her cows? 

Yes, you read that right. Samantha loves her cows. Who can blame her? Certainly not Everett. He loves Samantha and therefore, he learns to love her cows too.

EXCERPT:

   “My house is gone?”

   He nodded.

   “My crops?”

   “Those, too.”

   “What about my cows?” she wailed.

   He cocked his head and re-checked the feed. “Bovine life forms were unaccounted for in the initial data provided.”

   “Then how am I going to get milk? How will I survive off the grid? I don’t go to the grocery store.” With hands on her hips she glared at him as though she considered this a life-and-death matter and the whole situation was entirely his fault.

   He blinked. Suddenly the picture came into focus. Anti-technology. Tree-hugging. Back-to-lander. Bingo. While he considered the news, she bolted for the door. He caught her easily before her hand reached the control panel and held her in the safety of his embrace. “Where do you think you’re going?”

   “I have to go check on my cows! Get off me you big metal goon.” She slapped his chest.

   The sudden rush spearing through him from holding her in his arms deflated. She felt so warm, so soft, and her hair smelled clean as polished bushings right off the assembly line. Her proximity stirred a brand new desire within him almost as hot as her temper. But her snarled insult raked him bare. How could he tell her how much her words had hurt? These feelings were all so new to him…. “Look, Miss Gold, I—”

   She threw her hands in the air. “Would you stop that? Stop calling me Miss Gold. You sound like…like one of those damn mechanoid parking lot attendants. God, I hate those things.”

   The side of his mouth quirked into a smirk. “They are rather dull conversationalists.”

   She shoved at his chest again. “I don’t care. I said, let. Me. Go.”

   He shook his head, amused at her girlish lack of strength which he found charming and utterly feminine. But her weakness only drove home in him the need to protect her. He found himself strangely unwilling to let her go. “I’m sorry, I can’t do what you ask. The men after you are still out there.”

   “Why should you care if they want to take me away to some prison camp for the deranged?”

   He raised an eyebrow. “Deranged? Miss Gold, I’ve been assigned to protect you. In fact, I—”

   She rolled her eyes. “But you’re not even human. Just like the goons chasing me.”

“I’m the perfect person for the job, Miss Gold. I’m programmed to do whatever it takes to protect you. Even if I have to die in the process.”

Android problem #1 - Keeping Track of Your Penis

Available HERE

by Eva Lefoy

I love Red Dwarf, the BBC space comedy and have been a fan for many years (back when I used to buy cable TV). Ah, the good old days. I’ve watched it so much that each character has at one time or another been a favorite: Cat, Lister, Rimmer and the android, Kryton. Each have their own plusses and minuses. Cat has coolness, Lister has…well he’s human, Rimmer is hilarious, I happen to think Chris Barrie has near-perfect comedic timing, and Kryton has, in addition to his many handy cleaning abilities, a detachable penis.

Yes, I said detachable penis. 

I know, you’re probably still gaga over his love of doing laundry – what lady wouldn’t like a guy with a passion for cleaning?  - and also his exploding, but conveniently replaceable head, but consider for a moment his penis. 

In Series VII the episodes Pete I and II, are the first time we see “Archie,” Kryton’s detachable penis. It runs away from Kryton and ends up underneath the bunks. He and female crewmember Kochanski try to capture it, but it escapes. Kochanski tells Kryton that now he’s just like a “real” man, since he has absolutely no control over his penis! 

Which makes Kryton one very happy android… 

In Download My Love, I couldn’t help giving our hero, android Agent Everett, a detachable penis. No, it doesn’t run away, but it’s awfully handy at times for the heroine, Samantha. Luckily, the unit is fully operational when not attached, and appears to have a long battery life. Samantha rather likes it, and I hope you do too!

When her father dies and inadvertently transfers a secret code to a hidden receptor in her brain, it’s only android Agent Everett who can protect her. Can she ever forgive her father for creating Everett—a man so perfect for her that he even loves her cows?

EXCERPT:

She raised a hand and touched her lips. They still tingled from Everett’s strangely possessive kiss. Why had he kissed her? And why were his lips so pliant and warm? Weren’t robots supposed to be stiff and cold? But his lips weren’t. They’d heated her insides to the melting point in the few seconds they’d touched mouths. His arms were warm, too. They’d held her securely when she began to faint and she’d been grateful for their protection at the time. Now she didn’t know what to think.

She lay on her back and stared at the ceiling. Nothing about this day made sense. She wished to be home in her simple hut with her cows and her vegetables where she belonged. The life she had chosen to make a point to her father that humans were meant to live off the land. After the coming technology collapse, which she believed would happen regardless of what her father and his cronies said, humans would need to go back to the old ways and she’d be ready to help them along. Unless the bad guys killed her today.

Shivering, she wrapped her arms around herself and curled into a ball on top of the covers. Everett had suggested she get some sleep. The hell. She was way too freaked out, stressed, and wound up for sleep to happen. But Everett’s plan of course made sense. They’d be on the run in the morning wouldn’t they? She forced herself up.

“Maybe I can find something to help me sleep.” She wandered into the adjacent bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet expecting to find a sleeping aid. Instead, she found a dildo. “What the…?”

There it stood, proudly erect and alone on the shelf. Nothing else in the entire cabinet. Weird. What’s it doing here? She glanced behind her, though nobody was there watching. Seeing the thing sitting there all by itself made her a teensy bit uncomfortable. Had the thing been used?

She shook her head. I must be way too sheltered. Living on the farm has isolated me from modern man. Perhaps this is what normal citizens did to relax and she needed to follow the crowd on this one. She captured her bottom lip with her top teeth and puzzled. Well…she’d heard orgasms had relaxing properties, and her lips were still tingling from Everett’s kiss. Would it hurt to try?

“This is crazy. A crazy end to an awful day,” she said, taking the unit out of the cabinet and heading back to the bed. “I can’t believe I’m doing this.”

See what happens to Samantha and Everett as human and android come to terms with the fact they were made for each other in Download My Love, out now from Decadent Publishing!

Advantages and Disadvantages of having a Clone

Available HERE

Only 99 cents for a limited time on Amazon!

by Jessica E. Subject

With the writing of Made For Her, I kept thinking how it would be such a good idea to have a clone of myself, someone to do all of the monotonous things that I dread doing. Dishes, laundry, dusting, and other things that get neglected when I’m in the zone, writing. But then I’d also think of the disadvantages, too. I’m a Libra, so I’m all about balance. LOL

Anyway, here’s my lists of advantages and disadvantages of having a clone.

Advantages:

Can do all of the cleaning I don’t like to do.

Can make dinner.

Can do the grocery shopping.

Will have more time for writing!

Disadvantages:

An extra person to feed, clothe, and generally have room for.

What if people like your clone better than you?

What if your clone takes over your life?

Okay, maybe I’ve been watching too much of The Island lately. LOL

I’d like to hear from you. Do you think having a clone of yourself would be advantageous, or not so much?

Made For Her

Erotic Sci-Fi Military Romance

ISBN: 978-1613334348

After terrorists murder the love of her life, Colonel Mikayla Jones trains squadron after squadron of the clones he brought to life, to take to the skies. When she discovers a young clone of her husband in her newest class, her world spins out of control. How can she command the look-a-like when she can’t help but yearn for him to fill an ache in her heart?

Dare was created to be the best. As the first Daniel clone to leave Onatria labs, he needs to prove he is more than just a DNA copy. To do that, he must rely on the wife of the man who donated his genes. But when she refuses to train him, Dare faces discharge and returning to the labs. Can he convince Colonel Jones to finish his training and find a way into her bed? Or will long kept secrets unhinge the entire clone project?

Available From Amazon.com for only $0.99

until the end of January!!!

Also available from other ebook retailers at regular price.

Excerpt:

Colonel Jones eyed each one of her new cadets, examining the neatness of their uniforms, while inspecting for signs of stress or over-anxiousness. She’d never seen the telltale muscle twitches or sweats in any previous clones, only in human-borns, but she had to look for them anyway.

The first generation of clones didn’t live long enough to become cadets. Their hearts gave out within a year after incubation. But the scientists at Onatria had plowed on, utilizing more of Daniel’s research, speeding up the aging process with hormones to create the perfect generation she saw before her.

She’d had female clones in previous squadrons, but the government filled the one in front of her with testosterone-driven masculinity. If she’d been younger, she’d have a hard time concentrating. But her days of crushes and fantasies were long over. She was devoted to serving her country and planet, and nothing else.

That didn’t stop her from going out on the town for a stress-relieving fuck from time to time. But these young men in front of her appeared so virile, sure to last longer than any of her previous sexual partners.

No. As junior officers, and more importantly, as clones, they were off limits.

Inspecting them gave her the opportunity to check out more than their fatigues and tics, but if they knew her thoughts, they’d walk all over her. She’d be done.

They were of varying nationalities, builds, and heights, all fit to serve the planet. None of the cadets revealed any indication he would put the lives of others in jeopardy. This will be an easy squadron, every one of them ready to fly in a matter of weeks.

She reached the last cadet and froze. Her stomach clenched. No, they couldn’t have!

She pivoted on her heel and rushed off the tarmac, leaving the squad without an instructor.

Sexy Aliens and Clones… Oh My!

Made for Her available HERE

By Jessica E. Subject

It’s not always “write what you know.”

Anyone who has read my stories will know I have many stories about sexy aliens, extraterrestrials I created in my mind. I have never met any aliens (that I know of), nor traveled through space or to another planet. Yet, they tend to be the focus of my fiction.

Today though, I’m here to discuss writing about clones, as I did with Made For Her. I wanted to try something different. When I penned this story, I had already written alien romances, a contemporary romance, and two science fiction romances without aliens. But I wanted to push the boundaries as I do with my other science fiction romances. I wanted to show that everyone in the universe deserves a happily ever after. Alien, clone, whatever, as long as the character is a good person, then they deserve love, too. And yet their differences always become an integral part of the plot.

For an alien, first of all, they have to find someone that accepts that there really is life on other planets. And then hope that they would actually have a romantic interest in someone so different.

When it comes to a clone, their journey into life is already so controversial, that they are destined for discrimination. It’s an issue that is part of this story, and one of many roadblocks in the relationship between the hero and heroine.

When it comes to how a person might react to a clone, I refer back to my favorite sci-fi romance show from my childhood, Space: Above and Beyond. The character Rodney Rowland played is not a clone, but born through in-vitro fertilization with a tank as a womb. Thus how he earned the mean-spirited nickname “Tank”. Of course, he was the character I fell for, but that’s just me. LOL I imagine the resistance he experienced in trying to fit in would be the same as for a clone.

This opposition is not only due to the fact that the character is different, as it is with aliens, but also a result from those who do not support the science used in creating these people. The resulting life is seen as sub-human to some. And that plays a huge part in the plot of this story.

So, while writing clones is not a huge stretch from writing aliens, there are some key elements that need to be added to the plot of the story. And it’s something I plan to write about again.
