Short Circuit Time by Diane Saxon In the year 2086, Zaphira is alone, the last survivor of biological warfare on Earth. Before he died, her scientist father promised other survivors would come. Nobody has. So when a horribly mangled android shows up claiming to be her father’s assistant, Aiden, who has been sent through time to rescue her, she’s both frightened and astounded. The last time she’d seen Aiden, she’d been sixteen, head-over-heels in love with him and had literally thrown herself at him, leaving her devastated by his rejection and him running for the hills. The following day, she’d been told of his death. Eight years later he’s miraculously back, this time asking for her help. Without it, he won’t survive. But can she really put a dead man back together with tweezers? For Aiden, everything has changed. There are no other humans, no government, and time travel has left his new android body unexpectedly weak and suffering from inexplicable genetic changes in eye...

This review came in from a lady who has so far read and loved all of my books, but this one was special for her because she got to read it at an early stage, when it was just an android with barely any skin... Ever wanted to build the perfect guy? Change that nose a bit, raise that droopy ear, and maybe add a few inches in the right place(s)? Zaphira gets to do that and more to the android version of Aiden, the geeky science boy who was her father’s assistant and the secret teenage crush who broke her heart. Of course all that was eight years ago and he, along with everyone else was now dead. Except her. Which meant she was alone until something comes bubbling out of her stream one day. Except his eyes are a different color – different colors, in fact. And he has more muscles. Confused? So was she. That’s what happens when you start talking about time travel. Zaphira’s scientist father promised her that there were going to be other survivors from this terrible plague a...

In the beginning... well, I started as a contemporary romance writer, but I've always read across the genres. So I'm going to take you back to how it all started, and this was the first blog way back in July 2013. So, this is how it happened.  To tell the truth, I’m not quite sure how it happened, Allyson Lindt is responsible, without a shadow of a doubt. You see, Allyson, challenged Eva to enter a competition and vis versa . Interesting, but did they take up the gauntlet? I may have – or may not have grabbed that gauntlet and run with it.  We will see. But that particular issue may be irrelevant at this point.   And the point is that somehow, goaded by two enthusiastic authors, I challenged them to a competition: THREE AUTHORS THREE MONTHS ONE BLOG POST EACH EVERY THREE WEEKS ONE CHALLENGE 1.         The Authors a.         Eva Lefoy b.     ...
