Farseek Mercenaries Series Parallel Stories

Hi Readers:

I feel the need to clarify something that was mentioned in one of your reviews. Honestly, I wasn't trying to slip anything by you in Lieutenant's Mate.

One reader complained that some of the same events happened in Book 2 as in Book 1. I did this because the characters in each book of the series have experienced the same events from different perspectives. Depending on their part in the same chain of events I tried to show their unique experience of their take on the shared event,

Believe me, I kept that in mind as I was writing the third book in the series Sahvin's Mate. The story opens with Sahvin, a Narovian feline is rescued from slavery in the mining colony on the planet Breskaa. In Book 3 this event is told from Sahvin's point of view.  We learned in Book 1 that Nora Reed is his meomee or soul mate. Then they go off together and we don't hear much about them until the end of Book 2.

Book 3 is Sahvin's and Nora's experience of the chain of events from the Breskaa rescue on. Book 4 will tell the story of Zoe Addison and her mate who is revealed in Book 3.

My plan wasn't to write the same story four times but to show four different experiences of the same chain of events. Making it unfold this way told from alternating points of view from eight characters would be much harder to follow than two at a time.

I am hoping the reader who wasn't happy with the structure of the series will give it another try. I think Sahvin is one of the best characters so far. But, I almost always think the one I am writing or just wrote is the best so far.

Look for Sahvin's Mate coming soon to Amazon.

Thanks for reading!

Farseek Mercenaries Series Continues

As I am still writing the third book in the Farseek Mercenary Series, I find a review from a reader of  Book 2, Lieutenant's Mate expressing disappointment that some of the same events were depicted in Book 1 of the series. The purpose of this retelling is to show shared events from the new couple's view point.

The series is consists of four romances of four couples whose lives intersect through one series of events. Because the books are written in first person alternating points of view in the same timeline, it's almost impossible to avoid talking about events from the previous book. Each person plays a different part in the same series events.

Rather than write one book with all the characters in third person, I am writing four books about four couples experiencing the same chain of events.

It all starts in the present with four Earth women who are abducted by alien slavers. They bond on the slave ship before they are rescued by the Farseek Mercenaries. They stick together because of their common origin.

Each of the four find their fated mates or soul mates among the alien mercenaries, and the people abducted by slavers that the mercenaries rescue. Book Three, Sahvin's Mate is a crossover from the Narovian Mates Series, as Sahvin is a Narovian feline abducted from earth where he was serving the Alliance as a covert agent.

As the story opens, he has been enslaved at the Breskaa mining colony for months, forced into hard labor, underfed and mistreated. Believing he is going to die there, he has nearly given up hope. Enter Commander Maktu and his mercenaries.

On Dreadnaught One, Sahvin meets Nora from Earth recognizing her immediately as his meomee, the Narovian word for soul mate. This event was portrayed in Book 1 but told from the viewpoint of Harper Avery and Zared Maktu. Sahvin's experience of the event is wholly different than their experience. It also differs from Pyrr's and Scarlet's experiences as well.

Look for Sahvin's Mate coming soon in January.
