Q: In
the latest Risnar book Worlds Collide,
how are things going?
A: It’s
not so great for a couple of our characters. There’s an anti-Earthling movement
starting in the village of Cas, the setting for the previous book, Worlds Apart. Proof that there are
certain factions of Earth in league with the Monsuda have some of the Risnarish
tense.
Q: Are
there any familiar characters returning?
A: Jape,
the head enforcer of Cas, is our hero this time. Also returning are Arga from
the first book of the series Not of This World and the head of the Elders
Council, Ehar. We see Salno and the Bonch Efno as well. And Snim is bringing
his brew!
Q: Who’s
the lucky lady playing the heroine?
A: An
engineer contracted by the military, Velia Farrah. She’s a spitfire who gives
Grumpy Stripes—her nickname for Jape—all he can handle.
Q: Is
it love at first sight for Velia and Jape? Or a slow simmer?
A: Neither.
They’re at odds with each other from the start, but with an attraction that
makes things sizzle despite all their attempts to maintain mutual dislike. After
a while, they begin to figure out they’ve got real enemies to deal with, and
they have much more in common than they thought. Then the real fireworks explode.
Q: Any
surprises we should know about?
A: I’m
known probably best for a D/s vibe in my romances, with the female enjoying
being dominated. This has quite a bit less of that direction, with the sexual play
on a more equal footing. The hero and heroine switch back and forth as to who’s
in charge in the bedroom. It’s a rather interesting situation, since Jape is
pretty intense and used to being in control in most aspects of his life, and
Velia’s history is filled with doing as she’s told. They’re learning it’s okay
to go in the opposite directions of what they were taught.
Q: What
else should we know about Velia and Jape?
A: They have to cope with having their faith in
authority figures badly shaken and realizing sometimes those in power don’t deserve
the automatic faith they’re given.
Engineer Velia Farrah always wanted to see an alien up close. Now that she’s assigned to study the top secret portal linking Earth to other worlds, she’ll get her chance. But when a fierce, gold-skinned alien from Risnar leaps from the portal and whisks her back to his home planet, “up close” takes on a whole new meaning.
Believing Earthlings had killed his fellow warriors, Jape Bolep is determined to destroy Earth’s access to Risnar once and for all. Grabbing a curvy handful of a human wasn’t part of the plan, but he has no intention of letting her distract him from his need for vengeance—no matter how much he aches to make her his.
Both are ready to do battle over right and wrong and good and evil, and their combustible relationship burns hotter than the sun's surface. But distrust and treachery from all sides leave Velia and Jape in a fight against their own people to keep each other alive—and to ultimately save both Earth and Risnar from total destruction.
