This Sunday’s excerpt is from an SFR , out on submission now, set in the same universe as my recently published WRECK of the NEBULA DREAM. Andrianda (Andi) Markriss, a planetary representative for Loxton Galactic Trading, has been spending a lazy summer with her best friend in the highly exclusive summer compound of the planet Zulaire’s ruling nobility, networking. On a day when a number of strange and disturbing things have already happened, Captain Tom Deverane, Sectors Special Forces, unexpectedly shows up with a troop of soldiers and demands she leave with him. Immediately.
Andi doesn’t take this very well….in fact, she refuses to go. Later in the evening, all hell has broken loose, as the captain predicted.
Trying to avoid spoilers here, after certain “events”, she and the soldiers are on the run. Coming across a deserted village, they risk a stop to search for food and a communications link…
“You don’t go alone,” Deverane said as he came to her side.
“I don’t need a guard, I know how to use this,” She waved the blaster. “And I can take care of myself. Surely checking out the com room at the shrine is more pressing than escorting me?”
“You’re stubborn at all times, aren’t you?”
“Better believe it.”

Andi is a pistol. I love her independent attitude. Although, I don’t think Deverane does! Lol.
I like the dynamics your forming between these two. Great six.
As always, a sassy heroine and a man determined to protect her, whether she wants it or not. Love it!
Stubborn isn’t such a bad thing!
Too good, too good. What a gal (sounds like these two are a match made in heaven). Great six!!
Damn right! LOL. Nice six!
She sounds like my kind of heroine. Able to fend for herself!
Great 6, she’s stubborn even in her answer, great dialogue!
Love Andi already! Ha! A heroine who can take care of herself, right up my alley. Great six!
Love a strong heroine! Great six!
I like the dynamics between these two! Great six.
Sounds like she’s stubborn MOST times, LOL, which makes for a terrific story.
Like a heroine who can hold her own.
I love her already … and I wouldn’t dare say otherwise when she’s holding that blaster. Great six! ;c)
Fun six. I like a strong-willed heroine.
There ARE problems a blaster won’t answer–but then a troop of soldiers probably wouldn’t either. I like.
Ok. Why am I thinking teen horror movie here. I want to yell out, NO! Don’t go alone! Very Bad Things(tm) will happen! 😆 That’s good. You’ve caught me caught up in the story and anticipating the next action.
And I am grinning now – thanks!
I was afraid the blaster was going to go off! She sounds like a handful.
I like Andi! Damsel in distress she ain’t!
Great six – an independent woman and a guy who wants to protect her, a sure sign of future fireworks between them!
She’s consistent, love it!! 😀 you’re keeping all the excitement going too, well done.
Andi’s the perfect heroine, brave and spirited, and just strong-willed enough to get herself into serious trouble. 😉 Terrific six, Veronica!
Gotta love those independent women. Awesome six. Can’t wait for more.
Oh yes she is spunky! Love it!
You can tell so much about Andi just from this six. What a strong voice 🙂 Well written!
My kind of heroine! And a great lesson on the proper way to present a six. Thanks for the tip. 😉
I love a strong woman character! He’d better keep out of her way. 🙂
Great six and WOW, I just love her attitude. She’s not going to be a damsel in distress, lol. Also, nice voice.
Last line made me smile. Why do men always try to keep women from the good stuff. 🙂 Great six.
