Aliens, Romance, and Sex without Tentacles
by Cari Silverwood
There’s a freedom in writing a scifi or fantasy story that you can’t get anywhere else. Imagination is King but if you go too far you’ll have readers scratching their heads over the barrage of weird alien language and critters with sixteen legs. A bit like trying to figure out whose hand is where in a ménage, only far worse.
I kept that in mind while writing Intimidator. I wanted a story you could immerse yourself in without too much excess over the top stuff. Crap-tech I think I’ll christen this sort of too sciency stuff that can be dumped on you in a story.
This is a story for those who like to stretch their imagination but don’t want to give it a hernia.
So here is what you will get.
STOM - My sexy alien man who IS very human and who has a heart that melts a little and goes thud thud when he sees his woman/ bond mate, Willow. He’s got a stripy chest too. Lick
NO TENTACLE SEX. Or tentacles on my man. I decided, strangely, that the calamari could wait for another book.
ROMANCE but with a big helping of alpha male.
CAPTURE FANTASY. But sweet capture fantasy, in other words, it’s all sexy and delicious and Willow has a hard time not swooning when Stom walks in. Except for when she’s scowling at him, or shooting him.
KINKINESS. Sigh. I have a hard time not including kink in my stories so my alphas are, minimum, always keen on the dominance thing. Stom has a fling with using a collar and leash on Willow but he’s more growly beast type and not into S and m apart from threatening a spanking here and there. I don’t think he ever followed through. Where did I go wrong?
Scifi ACTION. Yep, I’m a Joss Whedon/ Firefly/ Star Wars fan, and love adding a few fight and battle scenes. Even if my women do the swoony ‘please take me’ thing with their men, they’re not afraid of wielding sword, Glock, flame, or claws. The men are warriors and armed to the teeth, of course.
As a result of the above expect a modicum of GORE and a smidge of HORROR too. But it’s only there to make you worry. Which is good, right?
This is a series called Preyfinders – I hope to do four books all up, including Precious Sacrifice, the Book 1 novella that’s out in the Kept anthology. So strap on your holsters, unrack those spiky alien rifles with little buttons and shit, hang onto the nearest alien hunk (uh-uh, no nibbling on him), and RUN.
If we leave you behind the factory queen (think huge monster insect beast thing) gets to play with you and she likes brains...and YouTube, she has a thing for that too.
Synopsis:
Book 1, Precious Sacrifice, is currently in the anthology, Kept.
But Stom, the man she’s been awarded to as a battle honor, has no use for a female, not when his heart is still in a million pieces.
Though the need to be Stom’s mate is overwhelming her, mending his heart isn’t going to be enough. His enemies are searching, looking for the women who are more than they seem, and she’s in their hands before she discovers she’s more-than-human.
Sometimes it sucks to be a chosen one.

Welcome to Kinky Vanilla Romance, Cari! I am excited to have you here.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Precious Sacrifice, book 1, of the new Preyfinder series yet. I have added it and Intimidator to my TBR list.
LOL - "I decided, strangely, that the calamari could wait for another book." What is your favorite scene in Intimidator?
I liked the show Firefly too!
I hope that you have a great tour.
Thank you for having me and my book here :)
ReplyDeleteFavorite sex scene - the forest one where Stom gets particularly alpha and tries out the leash on Willow.
Favorite action scene? - the final big battle. I can't say a lot except it was fun to write!
PS After this, on the spur of the moment, I went and wrote an erotic parody called Squirm that DOES have tentacle sex. lmao. I surprised myself even.
I have not read Precious Sacrifice but I do have Kept on my wishlist. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteOn my reading list!!
ReplyDeleteSMH. I am SO nosey. Tentacle sex? I have got to read that erotic parody called SQUIRM.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Precious Sacrifice, book 1, of the new Preyfinder series yet. Guess I should start at the beginning, huh?
I voted for Intimidator on the following Goodreads Listopia because Stom looks like hottie:
Hottest Guy on a Cover
Books with images of really hot guys on the cover.
