Sharing excerpts from my new release, JAMOKAN: A BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE NOVEL. I’ve introduced the heroine. The goddess told Jamokan previously that the woman is a prisoner of the Khagrish.

The excerpt, continuing on from last week, in Rosemari’s dream as she’s unconscious during an experiment conducted by the alien scientists. I skipped ahead slightly:

The new arrival had taken the place where Rosemari had been sitting on the massive boulder and was now examining the sketch pad.

Annoyance made Rosemari walk faster. She didn’t like to share her drawings before they were complete and done to her exacting standards.

“Ah, so you decided to stay,” said the woman, whose face she couldn’t see for some odd reason.

It’s a dream—there’s no logic in a dream. Poised to run if she had even the slightest sense of the Khagrish activity beginning again, or indeed if she seemed close to regaining consciousness, Rosemari stopped a few feet away from the rock. “That’s mine, if you don’t mind.”

Her new companion laughed and a somewhat befuddled Rosemari realized the notebook was in her hand now without having any memory of taking it from the lady. A picture of a man had appeared on the page, obviously drawn by her in her unique style, although she was sure she’d never seen him before. A strong, handsome face, staring boldly out from the page, eyes narrowed slightly as if assessing whoever he was looking at. Not quite human but charismatic. Someone she’d like to know better.

“You’re not at all what he thinks he’s expecting,” the puzzling visitor said. “Sometimes the outcomes in these situations surprise even me.”

VS Note: A recurring theme in the book is that Jamokan had certain expectations for an Alpha’s mate and no one, including him or Rosemari thinks she’s what he expected. But is she what he needs? We’ll have a few more snippets from this book but then I have to move on or get spoiler-y.

JAMOKAN: A BADARI WARRIORS SCIFI ROMANCE NOVEL (SECTORS NEW ALLIES SERIES BOOK 13) 

The story: Badari Alpha Jamokan and his pack are growing discontented in the sanctuary valley, tired of coming in second place to the pushy new South Seas pack when it comes to assignments and everything else. On top of the discord within his pack, Jamokan is distracted by the search for the right woman to be a proper Alpha’s mate to partner with him in combat and in everyday life. Even the Badari goddess is warning him in visions that he and his pack are on the wrong path for a happy future. In desperation, he receives permission to take his entire pack north to the mountains for a two week hunting expedition, where he hopes to use the time and rugged surroundings to settle the soldiers down and restore order and discipline.

And figure out his own future.

When his men unexpectedly locate a hidden Khagrish lab, he goes to investigate and see if there are humans to be rescued. Little does he suspect he’ll be called upon to break one of the highest commandments of the Badari packs and bring a new disaster to those who look to him for leadership.

Before she became a Khagrish prisoner, Rosemari Parcher was a hydroponics technician on a gritty colony world, who unexpectedly won a planetwide contest. Tapped to receive her heart’s desire and move to a totally different life in the luxurious Inner Sectors, her life had become a happy dream. Kidnapped in space by enemy aliens and given to the Khagrish, she and other humans are the unwilling subjects of a bizarre medical experiment where a quick death seems to be her only hope. Rescued by Jamokan and his pack, she finds herself deeply attracted to the Alpha but the devious Khagrish aren’t through with Rosemari or the experiment.
