Crossing Quinn
by Gail
Koger
GENRE: science fiction/romance
BLURB:
Quinn Jones is a formidable Coletti warlord. His mission is to
capture Xenia and bring her back to Tanith to be mated with a warrior the
Overlord has chosen. Problem is, Quinn finds himself falling for the beautiful
Farin. Her unusual “psychic powers, combat training and berserker abilities”
make her the perfect mate for him. How does he convince Xenia and the Overlord
that she’s meant to be his?
Xenia and her parents are relic hunters who just discovered the fabled home
world of the Nabateans. She isn’t about to leave the greatest find of the
century to hook up with some Coletti. Not happening. Ever. No matter how many
threats the Overlord makes or that he’s sending his best hunter to apprehend
her. Okay, she’ll admit she’s drawn to the handsome warlord and she loves the
way Quinn’s heavily muscled body fills out his black battle suit, but the
egotistical jerk is about to get his ass handed to him.
When the galaxy is threatened with annihilation, Xenia and Quinn join forces to
stop the murderous Tai-Kok. Fate has brought them together and nothing will
stand in the way of their victory or their love.
Excerpt:
“My father says
Coletti warriors mindlessly follow orders and are ball-less. Is he right?”
Quinn raised an
inquiring eyebrow.
“Curious about
a warrior’s body, are you, darlin’?”
I blinked in
surprise. I had expected more threats, not for him to start flirting with me.
He grinned,
pure devilry in his eyes. “Want a peek at my goods?”
For a brief
second, I was tempted. His black battle suit displayed his heavily muscled form
to perfection, but Papa hadn’t raised a fool. I plastered a love-stricken
expression on my face and gushed, “Oh, I know exactly what you look like,
lovey.”
I projected the
image of a wrinkled, hairy body with sagging male breasts and thick clumps of
fibrous warts obscuring the groin. “Dead on, right?”
Quinn laughed.
“Clever girl. Detja said you were full of surprises.”
Why was he
being so charming? Was it a delaying tactic? Did Quinn have a way to track my
transmission? “A word of warning. No one messes with my father. Not even the
Overlord.”
“Zarek’s eager
to add a fire-starter and illusionist to the Coletti gene pool. What the
Overlord wants, the Overlord gets. We can do this the easy way or the hard
way,” Quinn stated, dropping his flirtatious manner.
Quinn had
finally revealed his true self. A relentless hunter with a bit of a temper.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I
was a 9-1-1 dispatcher for the Glendale Police Department and to keep from
going totally bonkers – I mean people have no idea of what a real emergency is.
Take this for an example: I answered, “9-1-1 emergency, what’s your emergency?”
And this hysterical woman yelled, “My bird is in a tree.” Sometimes I really
couldn’t help myself, so I said, “Birds have a tendency to do that, ma’am.” The
woman screeched, “No! You don’t understand. My pet parakeet is in the tree.
I’ve just got to get him down.” Like I said, not a clue. “I’m sorry ma’am, but
we don’t get birds out of trees.” The woman then cried, “But… What about my
husband? He’s up there, too.” See what I had to deal with? To keep from hitting
myself repeatedly in the head with my phone, I took up writing.

Another new-to-me author. Nice to meet you Gail. I look forward to following your tour and getting to know more about you and your book.
To answer Brenda's comment - How do I come up with my stories? Being psychotic helps. I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher for way too long. All those years of wild requests, screwy questions, bizarre behavior and outrageous demands have left me with a permanent twitch and an uncontrollable craving for chocolate. Don’t get me wrong. Working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher can be very rewarding. BUT - some days I felt like the entire world was nuts. I mean, c’mon, who in their right mind calls 9-1-1 for the winning lottery numbers? To keep from hitting myself repeatedly in the head with my phone, I took up writing.
