Someone is trying to kill them…
Even in the outrageously wicked Tigron Empire, who would dare to attack a royal princess and her consort?
With the aid of two exiled empresses acting as psychic sleuths, some misplaced guitar glue and a talent for disguises, he would unmask a killer and prove this was certainly not a case of… INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL
About My Author... I daresay I should mention her, she is in a sense my mother and my slave.
Her name is Rowena Cherry --except for when she is writing slightly darker, slightly dirtier stories, in which case she is Rowena Beaumont Cherry-- and she write "space romance for broadminded adults"
She loves to research, and to write. She alleges that chatting with long distance friends is one of her greatest inspirations. In this book's humble opinion, she is full of it. Close and personal friends and experiences inspire her, too.For instance, take her debut novel FORCED MATE (it is a chess term... all her titles are chess titles... and it seemed a perfect play on words for a cosmic love-triangle/alien abduction romance) .At the conclusion of FORCED MATE, the guy who lost the girl is left with a smashed jaw and a broken thigh, and her editor wanted a sequel. My author started some exploratory chatting about broken jaws."Oh, a broken jaw is terrible. You cannot possibly have a hero with a broken JAW," my author's helpful, long distance correspondents told her. They went on to share all the romantic things that a guy with a broken jaw can NOT do, and all the unromantic, unattractive, and painful things he'd have to endure.
"Fabulous!" My perverse author exclaimed. She's like that about the house, too. If someone tells her she cannot do something, she wants to do it... as long as it is safe and legal, of course. She particularly loves literary challenge.
So she asked her Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal writing pals what they knew about broken jaws. And they came back with a lot she could use--like the neat little detail that vomiting can kill a man if his jaw is wired shut! A military guy who broke his jaw twice (!!!!) really gave my hero something valid to worry about, and a reason to be nervous of the heroine.
Next, my author's friends on the FFandP loop discussed wild issues such as body odor on a deserted island, and what to do about it. Also, various ways of depiliation (shaving). My author's own research on a beach with a broken shell told her that a so-called "razor" shell simply does not work. Yes! She's crazy. She takes great pride in her research, and will go as far as is legal and safe to make sure she gets her facts right. Sharp shells will take off your skin, but they won't do much for your armpit or leg hair. Now, obsessive daily rubbing with a pumice-like stone will discourage hair regrowth, but all in all, it's better to genetically modify your alien heroines so they don't have underarm hair.
That is not the entire story of how I came to be born. There were other irresistible challenges, such as "Oh, you CANNOT write a romance set on a deserted island. After two chapters, it will be soooo boring!"My name is INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL, and if you find me a confusing book, try checking out my author's note in the front pages and my family tree at the back.My author is:
