Name a new species and two new planets! August 01 - August 15th **CLOSED**
Have you ever wondered how sci-fi authors come up with names for planets, species, people, animals, food or objects? Well, if they’re like me they make them up or “play” on words that are used in everyday common language or even read the credits of a movie or sitcom to nab an unusual last name. Sometimes, for specific characters I will take the name of a loved one and spell it backward.
But for this particular species and planets I thought I would give the readers an opportunity to join in on the fun! I’d like for you to help me name two (2) planets and one (1) species. What you’ll do is read the description for the items that need a name and based on the description (or just by using your imagination) come up with a name that best suits them.
Enter your choices in the comment form. After the contest is over, I’ll mull over all of the submissions and pick my choices. Please note that your submissions will be looked at on an individual basis – not as a group entry. Meaning, if you submit two names for planets and one name for a species, I may only pick the species name and pick the planet names from another contestant.
I’ll pick the names after one week of the contest closing and will post the winners on Face Book, my blog and my website.
What the winner will get:
-An opportunity to have their creative thought in a book.
-Free ebook copy of the book where the name was used.
Good luck and as always – Thanks for playing along!

Planet #1: Debut in Dangerously His and featured in Dangerously Forever This is the planet that Kiehle Xochis has decided to make his home. He is a mercenary and when he isn’t working he likes to be alone. The planet will not be well populated. Think of it as a sanctuary.
Planet #2: Debut in Dangerously His Has to have moderate weather. Home to a species that believe in tradition and customs. Will be a small planet with a small community based population.
Species: Debut in Dangerously His This particular species are open to visitors. They are warm and inviting, they believe in family and community. Every morning they perform a ritual of how they believe the Gods made them and every evening they perform a ritual of the end of times (to them it is a good thing).

After aliens invade and conquer Earth, Eva is transported to a distant slave trading planet. Escape and freedom are her only priority, but none of her martial arts training prepared her for what she faces. She finds herself enslaved to the warrior King Taio. Eva’s drawn to this sexy alien male who ignites her heart and body.
Taio is disgusted with the idea of owning a slave—until now. From the moment he sees her, he knows Eva is his for the taking. Torn between lust and duty, Taio knows nothing will stop him from protecting his little warrior.
Publisher’s Note: This story was previously published elsewhere under the title Taken: Eva and has been revised for Ellora’s Cave.
Reader Advisory: Eva’s sexual awakening includes brief female/female exploration.
Dangerously Yours
The steamy standalone sequel to Dangerously Mine.
Kane Epps divides his life into two distinct parts—before the alien invasion and after. Before the invasion, he had a pregnant wife and a high-powered job. After the invasion, he’s left with only himself and his hatred for all things alien. He channels his bitterness by captaining a vessel of renegade humans—space pirates who don’t think twice about taking what they need.
Princess Sa’Mya is on the run. She and a few trusted advisers fled her home planet, only to be captured by the sexy, dangerous Captain Epps. He claims to hate aliens but can’t seem to resist touching her or kissing her…everywhere. As Kane introduces Sa’Mya to ever-increasing, unimaginable realms of pleasure, the princess becomes determined to earn his trust. She’s used to getting what she wants. And this time, what she wants is Kane Epps.
Inside Scoop: This space-opera romance contains male/male sex scenes, girl-on-girl action, group sex and some good old-fashioned voyeurism.
