Clan Companions: Joseph Q&A

Q: A new series from the Kalquor universe! How did this come about?

A: There have been mentions of Earther men on Kalquor in a few of CoK and Beginnings books, which readers responded to. They wanted to know how those relationships were happening and turning out. In particular, a lot of them were asking about Captain Joseph Walker and Nobek Almon following Alien Caged, where those two first appeared. They were dying for a happily-ever-after for that pair.

Q: How does this start out?

A: Joseph has served his sentence in a facility for mentally ill Imdikos. He was placed there in the hopes he could be rehabilitated from the severe emotional issues he had that led to him captaining a rogue battlecruiser that took Kalquorian prisoners after the Earth-Kalquor war had ended.

Q: And Nobek Almon waited for him?

A: Almon not only waited for him, but he gave up his fleet career to stay close to Joseph. It turns out Almon has some emotional hurt in his background as well, and he’s determined to have the relationship he feels he can forge with Joseph.

Q: But? There’s always a ‘but’.

A: But Joseph still has a phobia about living his sexual orientation openly. Not only that, Almon is not the only Nobek who is certain Joseph is the love of his life.

Q: Is there a rival for Joseph’s attentions?

A: Not so much a rival as a stalker. Someone else has decided he should be Joseph’s Nobek, and he’s ready to go to the extreme to make it happen

Q: What else should readers know about this book?

A:  It’s shorter than what they’re used to from me, but it packs in a lot of action and steam.

Q: What’s up next? What are you working on now?

A: I’m working on the follow-up to Ravenous Virtue, which is titled Righteous Fury. It’s been a long time coming to get that book done, which falls under the dark erotica umbrella. Then I plan to write another book that’s been a long time coming, the second of the First Mataras series (Michaela was the first). It’s not titled yet, but the events occur on a space station shortly after Amelia Ryan starts her adventure with Clan Rajhir. Another woman has to cope with the fallout from that and other events when she meets a clan in crisis.

He and Almon are committed to each other, but is it enough?

Making matters worse, Almon is not the only Kalquorian enthralled with Joseph. The Earther’s other would-be suitor is determined to go through Almon to get what he wants. He will stop at nothing to take Joseph from Almon…even kill.
