Being a fan of sports led me down a twisted path and into a series of erotic futuristic romances based on sexual equality, beginning with “Zandia”.
I remember distinctly how the concept started to grow in my mind. A little snippet of Wimbeldon news was teased around the media, but no one did much with it other than read the headlines. Once again, officials of the All England Club denied raising the women’s prize money so it matched the men’s. The reason given was because men played a best of five set match, while the women only played best of three. Hence, men should have a larger prize.
Are you kidding me?
We’re in the 21st century and this type of thing is still happening?
A little grumbling took place and then it was gone, but not before I’d made a note on my story ideas page: men and women find equality.
Not long before this I had my first futuristic accepted at Samhain Publishing, a tale where I push the boundaries of politics. I’d been fascinated by how far a lie could go in society. The edit process hadn’t been started so I had some spare time to spend lazily with the cutie. This meant football. Not the American kind but the other one the rest of the world plays. As a kid I was never a big fan of soccer, but then I moved abroad and football was the sport to watch. To have something to talk about around the proverbial water cooler I made an effort to understand the game and became a fan in the process.
There I was, lying on the couch watching a bunch of guys run around a field in shorts, kicking the ball and my mind wondered. Team members that support each other. Possessing strength of character. Being open to change. Standing behind what you believe in. Everything started to fall in place and I liked how it looked.
Sui Erom makes the hardest decision of her short life and leaves everything she’s ever known behind to have a chance at being a useful person in society. This was all because she knew there was something more out there for her than what she’d find at home. Things hadn’t changed much on Zandia, the furthest planet in the known Universe. Women weren’t physically abused or mistreated, neither were they treated equally to men. The opportunities to be an active participant in society weren’t there. This wasn’t enough for our heroine. It came down to the fact that no matter how terrifying making such a leap was going to be, it would be worth it in the end to be necessary.
I like writing female characters that are confident and independent, who take on life and accept the challenge to come out on top. Sui Erom falls right in to that niche. However, she has a few surprises coming her way because she’d never counted on falling in love with a man who, on the surface, represented all that she’d left behind.
Perfect. A love story full of twists and turns that ends in happily ever after for the couple as well as men and women in the future.
I wanted to share information with you about a benefit for Madison Balde. She’s my first cousin. She’s also around the same age as my son so I’m often called Aunt Mandy. She’s 13 yrs old and has been in the end-stage of renal failure since 2006. She’s been on dialysis for nearly 2 yrs and is managing her kidney failure with medication. After her kidney transplant, there will be at least 9 mos of follow-up care in Cleveland (Rainbow Babies) about twice a week.

Join Mandy and Michelle as they guest on LSC Paranormal Radio. We’ll talk about all our experiences, knowledge, and our personal stories with the audience. We are also taking calls to anyone interested in asking questions or just talking with us.
It was a crazy day today on Raven Radio, between tech difficulties, dropped calls and Michelle being put in charge of the controls. LOL Sorry to all of you whose call was dropped by the radio site. We really did want to talk to all of you and hope you’ll try again on a less crazy day (ok, um, so there might not be a less crazy day with Mandy and Michelle in charge, but hey, we try).
To enter, listen to our archived show entitled, “Will you still listen to us tomorrow — Romantic Times Convo… and how we suck and are missing it.” , find one of the catch phrases we say during the show and email it to ravenradio@ravenhappyhour.com.
Just a quick note. If you listen to us from the blogtalk site, there will be a little bit of dead air at the beginning and in the middle because of the tech issues. So, just fast forward on the show until you hear talking.
RECOMMENDED LISTENING:
Listen to the archived shows on pod-o-matic. We’ve edited out the dead air time for your convenience.
We’re pouting because we weren’t able to go to RT this year. But, because we’re us, we’re turning it into a party!
Today from 11 am – 12 pm EST we’ll be on air LIVE. You can listen to the streaming feed from your computer, join the chat room or call in for a chance to win some cool stuff.
You don’t want to miss it. If nothing else, you can listen to us as we make fools of ourselves (again).
Authors, if you’re home today too and want to call in and give a shout out to the readers, please do!

Witches, werewolves, things that bump in the night…And three arousing tales of sexual delight.
CATHRYN FOX
Web of Desire
Good witch Ally gets naughty when she discovers her long-lost high school sweetheart caught — literally — in a web of lust and seduction.
MANDY M. ROTH
Solo Tu
When Francy shows up after five years of separation to tell her beloved Dante, a werewolf, that she’s engaged to a vampire, he seduces her with a steamy surprise of his own.
ANYA BAST
Tempted by Two
Not only did Miranda just learn that she’s a half-blood fae, but she’s also got two — two! — deliciously muscular mates. She’d better adjust to all the sexy attention before a vengeful goblin tries to get in on the threesome….
