CLOSE ENCOUNTERS by B. H. Dark
coming 28 October from Samhain Publishing
Odilia is a nice planet. The sky is purple, the grass is yellow, the property prices aren’t that bad. But reproduction is painful, solitary, and asexual. Which is why the Odilians find the recently discovered “X-rated” disks from Earth so fascinating. And why the money-making scheme they’re hatching is so brilliant.
The plan is simple: abduct four Earthlings and juice them up on a heady pheromone cocktail. Then plop them in a variety of titillating holographic scenarios and market the results as reality entertainment—for vast profits.
The four chosen humans are strangers to each other, but not to life’s disappointments. Leandros, a lounge singer who’s never committed to anything longer than an Elvis medley. Eve, a interior designer who’s living a life much more beige than bold. Beau, a laid-back car mechanic who wants more from life than oil changes. And Cassandra, an innocent debutante who’s learned most of her sexual know-how from self-help books.
As unwilling—okay, sort of willing—stars of the Odilians’ budding intergalactic porn empire, the four of them consider their options. Relax and enjoy the ride? Try to escape?
I grew up in a small town in western Maine, where I quickly came to the attention of an international espionage ring. I got out of the spying game when I discovered they wouldn't let me keep the gadgets, but not before developing a love of pseudonyms and big explosions. I have two kids, one dog, one husband, and write paranormal romance, contemporary romance, and erotic science fiction romantic comedy under three names and with four publishing houses. I split my time between the USA and the UK.
Thank you for the friendship. I would like to invite you to check out my fiction blog. I post free stories on a regular basis as a way of introducing new readers to my work.
It would seem sometimes the winds of the fates have more to do with life than we had planned. As I float by, I hope you are well and life is being kind.
Hi, B. H. Dark, how's it going? Thanks for finding me in the crazy world of myspace. It's always great to meet another writer; congrats on Close Encounters!
I'm happy to say that my thriller/suspense/literary novel, Cold Streak, made it to the BestSeller list on Amazon. com and #1 in Myspace Books.
There's a free preview of my book on my myspace. If you get the chance, I'd love to hear what you think of it.
