Now Available: BORN ANDROMEDA by K.M. Watts
"An action-packed space opera that's not afraid of guts, glory, or going against the grain."
— Foreword Reviews
She was destined for a royal life—until galactic pirates changed the course of destiny.
Being eighteen is difficult, especially when you’re a cyborg and heir to the entire kingdom of the Moon. Disillusioned with royal life, Princess Andromeda dreams of nothing but freedom and adventure outside the protective dome of royalty. But when her parents arrange her marriage to an Earthen prince, she is forced to put her kingdom before her dreams of independence.
While traveling to Earth, Andromeda’s ship is attacked by galactic pirates led by her father's sworn enemy, the Lord Captain Bran. Taken prisoner, Andromeda realizes that her captors are unaware of her true identity and sees an opportunity: To best her enemies, she may have to join them.

REVIEW: MONSTER OF THE WEEK BY F.T. LUKENS
Rating: ★★★★☆
Blurb: Bridger Whitt is done being a lonely bisexual mess. Now, he’s a bisexual mess with a cute boyfriend, a magical job, and great friends! But as high school graduation approaches, Bridger's perfect life begins to unravel. Uncertainties about his future surface, his estranged dad shows up out of nowhere, and a monster-hunting television show arrives in town to investigate the strange events of last fall. If Bridger can’t get its intrepid host to leave town, she’ll expose the existence of the myth world — his world — to everyone.
I don't understand how F. T. Lukens keeps writing books that speak to where I am in life at the exact time I'm reading them. The Rules and Regulations for Mediating Myths & Magic hit me during the time when I was struggling with the whole idea of coming out, and now Monster of the Week hit me with all those anxious, overwhelmed with life feels. But she can keep spying on me as long as she's writing great books I guess.
Monster of the Week, like its previous book, definitely has rough spots in terms of writing. The beginning is stilted and kinda awkward, made infinitely worse by the over-explanation of pop culture references. Like, I get that you want to explain the references for anyone who doesn't watch, for example, The Good Place — but people don't talk like this:
"[Good Place reference]" "Haha, I appreciate your Good Place reference!"
So that's kind of annoying but it's a trade off, because in other ways this book really gets how teens talk, and there's a lot of fun banter.
There's mostly the same cast of characters as the first book, but even better, because Leo gets more personality now that he's on-page more, and Bridger is now friends with some of the creatures he was running away from in the first book! The character dynamics are great. Also I maybe cried at some point but you'll never prove it.
So while I don't know why this publisher can't seem to edit the awkwardness out of the first 20% of these books, overall, they're really fantastic.
I wanted to give a quick shoutout to everyone at @interludepress including all of the authors. This fabulous team of folks consistently creates quality - wonderful - warm - original - adventure filled romances —- and thus far, each and evey one has a happy ending.
The past few weeks have been hell for me —- some major life stuff that we all must face eventually. I’ve been doing my best to face everthing full on and not run from my problems .... but sometimes you need a little healthy escape.
Having the male, British voice inside my Kindle read allowed the fine books of Interlude Press has been my escape this time.
In the last week I completed:
Into The Blue by Penn Henson
Bitter Springs by Laura Stone
Hold by Rachel Davidson Leigh
Jilted by Lilah Suzanne
and I am now 1/2 way through
Chef’s Table by Lynn Charles
I am almost done with the entire Interlude Press catalogue!
So a big huge thank you to everyone who made these books possible - from authors - to editors- to artists - to people taking care of the business stuff - to all of the early readers who encouraged these amazing authors!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You have created fantastic art and brought comfort into the world.
