Hi all! I hope
you’ve enjoyed the new book, which released on Friday. I thought I’d share a
few interesting notes about Gabriel, now that you’ve hopefully had a
chance to read it.
Gabriel
is the 38th book in the Kalquor universe. Wow. That’s probably as
shocking to me as it is to you. When I started with Alien Embrace in
2010, I had no idea I’d write a second Kalquorian book, much less 38. But here
we are 11 years later, and I’m grateful to all of you who’ve shared in this
journey.
With Gabriel
joining Joseph as part of the Clan Companions, there are now six Kalquor
series: the other five are the original Clans of Kalquor, Clan Beginnings,
Shalia’s Diary, First Mataras, and Clans of Europa.
Gabriel Rossi
was originally mentioned as part of a support group in Clan Companions:
Joseph. The story he shared with the group about love at first sight,
thanks to a flirtatiously winking Nobek, was what excited me to work on his
story next, rather than Aaron (the guy we see much more of working the coffee
shop in Joseph) or the young traumatized guard from Alien Caged,
Ensign Larsen. Both will eventually get their stories, but Gabriel jumped to
the front of the line. Some characters simply refuse to wait.
Gabriel
also features the title character’s sister Iliana, who will be our heroine for the third
First Mataras book, which I’m developing now. Wanting to write her story was
another reason Gabriel dashed to the front of the line for Clan Companions,
as it made sense to write the siblings’ books back-to-back. Hopefully, Iliana
will be out late this year.
Yes, we will
see Gabriel and Clan Baknu again in First Mataras: Iliana, providing
support and advice as she somewhat unwillingly looks for love. No doubt Takat
will still be eating everything in sight…a characteristic inspired by my
teenage son. With that in mind, please buy my books. My grocery bill is terrifying.

After fleeing
Earth’s Mercy Colony six years before, Gabriel Rossi and his sister Iliana have
carved out a decent life on a remote Adraf space station. Each avoids contact
with other humans as much as possible. Gabriel’s life is adequate, but he
yearns to be free to love as he was born to.
Clan Baknu has
been tasked with convincing Iliana to return to Kalquor with them to join a
clan. But when Baknu, Takat, and Kisk meet her stunning older brother, they’re
eager to claim an Earther companion of their own.
Though Gabriel
falls for the three men on sight, his priority is Iliana, who’s less than
enthralled about joining a Kalquorian clan. Worse still, a sadistic slave
trader is determined to claim Gabriel for purposes too terrible to imagine.
Clan Baknu pulls
out all the stops to convince the Rossis that they can find love and happiness
among the Kalquorians. They dare death to keep Gabriel out of the grasp of a
murderous crime lord, who won’t stop until the Earther is his. Yet their
greatest challenge is showing Gabriel dreams can come true…if he’ll accept
their love.
