To Be or Not To Be… an Alien
Interesting question. And actually is what partly
sparked this series. What kind of aliens could I come up with? Hmmm. A race that
doesn’t show emotions until they find their mates. I wanted a body type that
was something a little different. Maybe a tad bit frightening.
What about tentacles?
But I didn’t want these coming out of the body like
arms. Nope, I had another idea. What about tentacles that are like… hair. Kind
of like dreads. Dreads that not only move, but also take part in sex.
Yup, lol. That’s what I said. ;)
Think Predator with more humanoid features. Still as
dangerous, but having the ability to love. And whoo boy, when these big guys
fall, they fall hard lol. ;)

Be careful what you wish for...
The first time Daroshi spotted Bryan, the Maz’Rarian
warrior knew he wanted the small town sheriff as his mate. Things have been
going downhill since. Daroshi doesn’t have experience dealing with humans,
especially a very unhappy human male who’s just had his well-planned life
jerked out from under him. Little does Daroshi know the changes Bryan will
insist be made to help him adjust. But he also never dreamed someone would
actually try to kill his mate.
The shocks just keep coming for Sheriff Bryan
Coltrane. Finding out aliens exist was bad enough. Finding himself mated to one
was definitely not on his to-do list. Wait, what? Did someone say tentacles?
And if that’s not enough, a killer tried to poison him. Added to his misery,
now he’s on his way to another planet—a planet that he hates on sight. How’s he
supposed to survive in such a cold, ugly industrialized world? Can you take the
country out of the boy without killing his spirit?
As Bryan struggles to adapt, a killer plots to end
his new life... before it even begins.

Excerpt:
Bryan grinned, a wide smile crossing his face, his
hands shaking a bit. “Well, let’s get that port window open then. I’d like to
see the planet from space.”
They were going to see Daroshi’s planet. It wasn’t
everyday he saw a planet from a space ship. And, this was where he was going to
live now. God only knew what kind of new animals and… just things in general
he’d be learning about. Daroshi stepped toward a blanked-out
screen and touched the bottom.
Shawn
moved closer to Bryan. “It’s kinda scary, isn’t it? I mean, this is soon-to-be
our home. Think about it, Bryan. We’re going to live on a new planet. A place
most humans have never seen. Man, I bet there are several scientists that would
give their left nuts to be…”
Shawn
trailed off as the screen flickered, the blackness fading away to an equally
dark view of space, but with a planet in the distance, the only object in
sight.
Bryan
blinked. “Hmmm.”
Shawn
scratched his head. “Ah…”
Daroshi
turned from the screen, pride evident on his face. “There it is… Maz’Rar. A
proud and mighty planet. What do you think?”
Shawn
glanced at Bryan. “Well, it’s big.”
Bryan
blinked again as the view continued to shift, drawing closer, the planet
filling the screen. A moon orbited the planet. “Yeah, big. Very big.”
Shawn
cleared his throat. “And, um… it’s round.”
Bryan
nodded. “Yup, round.”
“And…
it’s really gray. Lots and lots of gray. Seems to be swirling all around the
planet.”
Bryan
swallowed. Lots and lots of gray? There’s
nothing but gray. Just endless gray
circulating in those strange swirls. Is that the atmosphere? Can we even
breathe that air? “Uh-huh, that’s the color gray, all right. No doubt about
it.” Bryan glanced at Daroshi. “How long before we land?”
“Soon.
I can’t wait to show you around. You won’t believe the advances in technology
we have.”
Bryan
nodded. “Looking forward to it.” And the
first thing we need to do is introduce these guys to the concept of color.
Jesus, that’s the ugliest planet I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t look anything like
Earth.
Daroshi
smiled at Bryan, and then turned back to the port window. “I’m so glad to be
home.”
Bryan
looked at Shawn. Shawn slowly turned, checking to make sure Daroshi was
engrossed with the view in front of him. Shawn glanced at Bryan and wrinkled
his nose as though he’d smelled something gross.
Bryan
pressed his lips closed and nodded. Oh
yeah, I agree. Butt ugly describes that planet. Let’s hope it gets better.

Church bio
M.A. Church lives in the southern United
States and spent many years in the elementary education sector. She is married
to her high school sweetheart and they have two children. Her hobbies are
gardening, walking, attending flea markets, watching professional football,
racing, and spending time with her family on the lake.
But her most beloved hobby is reading.
From an early age, she can remember hunting for books at the library. Later
nonhuman and science fiction genres captured her attention and drew her into
the worlds the authors had created. But always at the back of her mind was the
thought that one day, when the kids were older and she had more time, she would
write a book.
By sheer chance, she stumbled across a
gay male romance story on the web and was hooked. A new world opened up and she
fell in love. Thus the journey started. When not writing or researching, she
enjoys reading the latest erotic and mainstream romance novels.
