URANIANS: STORIES by Theodore McCombs
At the end of the Victorian era, a handful of public intellectuals advocated for tolerance of the “Uranian”—a man who loved other men. Some went so far as to propose that these “intermediate sexes” might, in fact, constitute a totally different species, even serve as intrepid guides in our march toward an uncertain future. The five speculative stories in Theodore McCombs’s kaleidoscopic collection span several possible worlds, teasing the boundaries between coexisting realities and taking up the question of queer difference from one surprising vantage after another. In “Toward a Theory of Alternative Lifestyles,” a heartbroken gay man waits in line at an exclusive Berlin rave promising visions of parallel lives across the multiverse. In “Six Hangings in the Land of Unkillable Women,” at the turn of an alternate 20th century, a policeman’s wife feels that if you want an execution done right, you just have to do it yourself. And in the operatic novella “Uranians,” an expedition of queer artists, scientists, and one trans priest embark on a lifelong interplanetary voyage that requires them to renegotiate their connections to a remote and hostile Earth, while keeping their ship’s biome—and each other—alive.

Then I get a text from a dating company I joined over a year ago. They’ve finally found a match for me. Guess what? He’s my next freaking mark! I’m a little conflicted.

KEIRA – I woke up next to a monster. Literally. As a Hollywood producer I thought I’d seen everything. Until I met Luke.

Even better, Keira wasn’t afraid when I got possessive and rough with her delectable body. After a night of passion I fall asleep, and turn back into a monster. Keira’s terrified…but not for long. She’s smarter and braver than anyone I’ve ever met. She and her friends agree to help us, but not everyone is ready to find out that monsters are real.

LINKS TO RECENT NEW RELEASES POSTS from Veronica:
“New” is generally plus or minus a week or two. I try to catch up on ones I missed in recent months. And I may mention ‘special items’.
I do NOT cover every single new release in SFR/FantasyR/PNR. I never have. That would be an impossible task for any human! I assemble my list by hand every week based on various informal inputs, and I do curate the list to some extent…
Some authors aren’t in KU but still don’t list books with Apple or other platforms. This report is very time consuming to prepare so I’ve always had to limit myself and cannot go and look up every book on all the platforms. If an author gives me their other buy links, I include them here but generally I develop the post on my own, not from author-supplied information. I curate and prepare this post individually every week to help connect readers/books/authors and I have to be very careful not to give it so much time as an activity that I don’t write my own novels! Thanks for the feedback and happy reading!
I check and verify all the buy links at the time I create the post but after that I’m not responsible.

TB: My first SciFi Romance was Reconstructed, a billionaire romance with an easy-to-hate wealthy bad boy main character, who learns humility and heroism through adversity and the love of a no-nonsense woman. I love this story so much, yet it is the worst-selling series in my entire catalogue. Maybe I bit off too much trying to make an antihero like West Worthington into a cyborg superhero! At the time it came out back in 2015, superhero romance was not “a thing”.
ASM.: What was your most recent book and what was the story spark or inspiration for that story?
CB: The Alien Castaways series! Six aliens fleeing the destruction of their planet land in Argent, Idaho. Argent is a very small town (population 500) in the woods of northern Idaho, but the residents open their arms to the aliens and accept them unconditionally. Argent is fictitious, but I lived in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho for nine years, and I drew from my knowledge of the area in creating Argent. Alien Castaways is a six-book series. Each book is titled after the alien hero and reflects a particular trait that the alien has: Chameleon, Wingman, Psy, Shadow, Inferno, and Tigre.
CB: Darak: Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides 1 was the most fun to write. It’s a short, light, fun and funny alien romance, about a woman who brings an alien as her plus-one to her sister’s wedding to shock her disapproving family. I knew exactly what needed to happen, and the story came together quickly and easily. Maelstrom (Cyborg Force 4) was the most challenging. It was the last book of the series, and the previous book, Vortex, was a reader favorite, so the pressure was on to ensure that Maelstrom was just as good. Maelstrom was my 61st book, and for the first time since I started writing romance (2009), I experienced major writer’s block. Some days I was lucky to squeeze out 500 words. But I finished the book, and the reviews have been phenomenal. Readers love Maelstrom even more than Vortex! Which goes to prove something I learned long ago—how you feel when you’re writing a book has little to do with its quality. It’s the writing that matters.
CB: Well, I have a new alien romance series. Alien With Benefits (Forbidden Bonds 1) just released.
