The Perfect Companion- The Perfect Man- The Perfect Lover-
The Perfect Dom…
Robotics engineer Dr. Kymberli Dalton is fed up with men. Period. After being
betrayed by her most recent lover, she designs a robotic ‘toy’ based
on the song; ‘Coin-Operated Boy’. This dreamy sex machine will be
everything she wants: Lifelike, Overindulgent, Generous,
Affectionate, and Nurturing. Most importantly, LOGAN will be hers and
hers alone, able to fill every void in her life – and satisfy her
hungry body.
Little does she know that the LOGAN A.I. program has its own agenda; it
wants to become real and alive, and to serve her every need… which
includes indulging in her secret fantasies.
Unfortunately, this ‘Pinocchio’ doesn’t have a magic Blue Fairy to turn him into a
real boy, but he does have technology that allows him to step into
her life as her perfect companion… with a strong dominant streak.
True to the robotic law, LOGAN guards and protects her – whether
Kymberli likes it or not – and that includes putting her over his
strong, solid knee for bare-bottomed spankings… followed by
unencumbered, breathtaking loving.
Logan’s protective love not only teaches him how to feel, but allows Kymmi to
reconnect with her lost childhood and discover the joy of being a
loved little girl…
Even though their secret is hidden in plain sight, the couple is soon
faced with the biggest challenge they will ever have to confront.
Will this unnatural love be allowed to continue? And if so, at what
sacrifice?

Who am I?
I’m a native Californian gone ‘wild’, and had the opportunity to travel
the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine
Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to
go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a
marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative
lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique
inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable
characters.
In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both
submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving.
Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and
mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.
My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door
to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time,
I’ve devoted my ‘spare’ time to writing, researching, community
involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant
behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.
I was formally ‘dungeon trained’ as a Domme before discovering my
submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled
primarily from either personal experience or observation, including
spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My
multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and
give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of
fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of
the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on
‘the real deal.’
I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and
two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S
relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear),
and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies
include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John
can’t find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and
developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured
author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a

It’s been six months since Dr. Rhett “Jack” Jackson and Dr.
Kamala Anjali had their dragon cloning project shut down by the
government. Just when they think they’ve gotten their lives back
together, an agency within the government hits them with another
suckerpunch: a criminal organization has cloned dozens of dragons in
order to hold vicious dragon fighting rings. The government recruits
Jack and Kamala to help them track down the organization. Jack and
Kamala set out to put a stop to the illegal fights before any more
dragons die…or worse, escape.
Of Dawn and Embers is the third novel in Kyoko M’s sci-fi/contemporary

Aokigahara, the Suicide Forest–a section of woods in Japan that is
rumored to be one of the most haunted places on earth. They’ve also
got the yakuza who cloned the dragon hellbent on getting her back,
and they don’t care who they kill in order to re-capture the dragon.
Jack and Kamala are joined by CIA field agent William Fry and
dragon-hunting expert Juniper Snow as they infiltrate the forest to
hunt the dragon before she can hurt anyone else. Between the ruthless
yakuza hot on their trail and the growing mistrust in their small
hunting party, it will take a miracle for Jack and Kamala to make it
out alive…
Of Blood and Ashes is the second book in the series, following the
Amazon bestselling Of Cinder and Bone.
After centuries of being the most dangerous predators on the planet,
dragons were hunted to extinction. That is, until Dr. Rhett “Jack”
Jackson and Dr. Kamala Anjali cracked the code to bring them back.
Through their research at MIT, they resurrected the first dragon
anyone has seen alive since the 15th century. There’s just one problem.
Someone stole it.
Caught between two ruthless yakuza clans who want to clone the dragon, Jack
and Kamala brave the dangerous streets of Tokyo to steal their dragon
back in a race against time before the world is taken over by
mutated, bloodthirsty monsters that will raze it to ashes.

Lance Callahan, MD, is known to his hospital staff as a man with a heart of
gold. When a young woman is brought in with a gunshot wound and
severe post-traumatic amnesia, Lance is just the man to care for her.
No one knows who she is, where she’s from, or why she was left to
perish in the unforgiving desert. Even her name, Noelle, is known to
Lance only from an inscription on a necklace found in her pocket.
In his effort to help Noelle, Lance determines that due to the trauma
she has suffered, the young woman requires retraining to become
age-appropriate in all of her activities. Her little girl persona
further shocks him when she suddenly claims him as her “Daddy.”
With nowhere else for her to go, Lance turns to his close-knit family for
help, and Noelle suddenly finds herself with a new aunt and two new
uncles, along with more love than she can handle. She quickly learns
that there are some very specific rules in the Callahan home, for
both Daddy’s little girl and Lance’s big girl, and that the
consequences for breaking the rules include a very red and sore bottom!
Questions remain about Noelle’s past, and as the mystery of her origins slowly
unravels, it becomes clear that Noelle has a very special secret of
her own… a secret that could tear apart everything she’s learned to
love, including the joy of being lost and then found by a man who’s
given his heart to her.

Alan Maitland is a successful businessman on his way up the corporate
ladder. Life is good, but life is also full of the unexpected. A
scientific experiment goes awry and Alan’s mind is transferred to
the body of Hana Toussaint, a high-class escort. Suddenly, he must
not only contend with a new identity, but with the eye-opening
experience of living as a female: how to walk in high heels without
falling; how to put on a bra without dislocating a shoulder; how to
deal with makeup without poking out an eye; and how to get along in a
society which in many ways is still male-dominated.
When Alan discovers that Hana has taken over his body, the two of them
must work together to find the scientist who can reverse the
experiment and give them back their respective lives. Along the way,
they must cope with living as each other and learn what it’s like to
be a member of the opposite sex. And as their adventure goes on, Alan
the woman must figure out his growing feelings for Hana the man.
Alan faces the biggest challenge of his life which Hana sums up with one
decisive question:
William Quincy Belle is just a guy. Nobody famous; nobody rich; just some guy
who likes to periodically add his two cents worth with the hope,
accounting for inflation, that $0.02 is not over evaluating his
contribution. He claims that at the heart of the writing process is
some sort of (psychotic) urge to put it down on paper and likes to
recite the following, which so far he hasn’t been able to attribute
to anyone: “A writer is an egomaniac with low self-esteem.”
You will find Mr. Belle’s unbridled stream of consciousness floating
around in cyberspace.
I’ve had a couple of lovely email exchanges with Hywela. It was wonderful to connect with her and learn more about her.
Author Bio:
Originally from rural Wales, Hywela
Lyn moved to England when she married. Her first novel, a Science Fiction
romantic adventure, ‘Starquest’ published
by ‘The Wild Rose Press’, was followed by two more novels ‘Children of the Mist and ‘Beloved
Enemy’ to complete what has now become the
Destiny Trilogy, each book being complete in itself. In 2017 Beloved Enemy won the Mid-Michigan
Romance Writers of America ‘Best Banter’ Contest in the SF/Fantasy category,
was nominated for the Romantic Novelists Association Awards (RoNA) in the
Paranormal category, and was also Runner Up in the RONE Awards.
Her fantasy novella,
incorporating Greek Myths and Welsh and Arthurian legends, entitled ‘Dancing
With Fate’ was originally published by TWRP as part of a commissioned anthology
but is now available as a ‘stand-alone’ novella. The first two books in the Destiny Trilogy are available in audio
format and Beloved Enemy will be
available in audio soon.
When not writing or reading and eating chocolate, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her horse and dog.
Tell us about yourself
I’ve always been a hopeless romantic and made up love stories in my head
from an early age. I became enthralled by TV westerns and wrote several short
stories about the Old West, before realizing there was no market for them in
the UK. Then I discovered Science Fiction and decided there was a great
similarity between science fiction and Westerns – a hero and heroine fighting
the odds in a hostile environment and facing unknown dangers – but with
starships instead of horses. I never thought of myself as a romance writer,
until I realized that everything I wrote turned into a love story, and the
penny dropped! I love action and adventure, and do tend to put my characters
through the mill until the end, but my intention is always for them to end up
in each other’s arms and get their ‘happy ever after.’
I’m also an ardent animal lover and usually manage to work an animal of
some kind into every story I write. I have a much loved rescued terrier and Quarterhorse
x Welsh mare. I’m also interested in wildlife and the environment.
My pen-name is composed of my first two Christian names, which are Welsh.
I’ve always been known by my second name, Lyn, so when I started writing I
thought it would be a nice idea to use my first name combined with my second
one, as it seemed a shame that Hywela was never used.
I’m a member of the Romantic Novelists
Association, and our local writers group ‘Chiltern Writers’.
When did you know you wanted to be an author?
I think I knew I wanted to write from the time I realized
what a joy reading was. I used to write short stories when we were set writing
assignments in school. I won a couple of newspaper short stories and wrote a
pretty bad Western historical romance, but although I had short stories
published over the years I didn’t try seriously to have a novel published,
until I wrote Starquest.
What genres do you like to read? Are these the same genres you write in?
Although my favourite genre is the one I write – Fantasy
and Science Fiction romance, I have a fairly broad taste in books, and enjoy
anything that is well written and exciting, from historical westerns to romantic
suspense.
Is your book for adults, young adults or children?
I think they’re suitable for both young adults and adults
of all ages, actually.
What is your current release or project?
I’m currently working on a romantic ghost story set on a
pony stud in Wales, but it’s still fairly rough, so if I may I’d like to tell
you a bit more about the characters in my latest release, Beloved Enemy.
Although this is the third story in the Destiny Trilogy, Beloved Enemy can be
read as a ‘stand alone’, although hopefully it will answer some questions
readers may have after reading Starquest.
The main male character is Kerry Marchant, who played an important part in the
first book, and some of the supporting characters are the crew of the Destiny who also featured in that book. The
female lead is Cat Kincaid, a woman with a mission – to kill him. The main
theme of the story is that wounded souls have a way of finding each other, and
when forced to work together toward a common goal there may be more at stake
than just their survival.
Tell us about the key characters
KERRY
MARCHANT
Dark
haired, blue eyed and good looking, Kerry Marchant is a man haunted by his
past. Taciturn and quiet, he is quick witted, with a dry sense of humour that
can sometimes be misinterpreted as sarcasm. Raised as an orphan by a cruel and
overbearing aunt, he was later sent away to be educated at a Government
learning centre where he met and formed a lasting friendship with Jon Quinlan.
Possessed of a brilliant mind, he soon displayed an aptitude for computer
programming and AI. In his mid-twenties, he designed the Destiny, the beautiful and powerful exploratory starship which he
part owns with Jon, who financed the construction of the ship and who is also
her commander.
Something
of a loner, Kerry’s only really close friend is Jon, although he has respect
and a certain amount of affection for the rest of the crew. He is single-minded
in his determination to ensure the Destiny’s
safety after foiling a plot to hijack her by an alien race, the Graaks. He
has an inherent mistrust of women, while mourning the loss of the only woman he
ever allowed himself to love. Although he does not show it, his emotions run
deep and he cares more for his friends on board the Destiny than he will admit.
CAT KINCAID
Tall, curvaceous and
attractive, with auburn hair and grey eyes, Cat is also independent and single
minded. She has learnt to trust no one and to rely on her wits to survive.
Raised on Earth with her only sister, her comfortable life was turned upside
down when her father deserted them. She can handle a starship or a laser-gun
and is well able to look after herself whether in hand to hand combat or with a
weapon.
After several years in
space, she has things in her past, secrets, which it would be dangerous to
reveal, and one in particular which she
has made a promise to keep safe, and to protect with her life, rather than
allow it to fall into the wrong hands.
Past experience has
led her to mistrust men and to be determined never to let another one betray
her trust. However, there is one man whom she has sworn to track down and
confront before killing him – the man she
believes to be responsible for her sister’s death. When she finally meets him,
however, she is confused by conflicting emotions which have nothing to do with
revenge.
What is your blurb or synopsis of the book?
Cat Kincaid is
obsessed with killing the man she believes is responsible for the torture and
death of her sister, but when she eventually catches up with him, survival
becomes a greater priority than revenge.
Kerry Marchant,
haunted by memories, regret, and self-blame, shields himself from the pain of
the past by committing himself totally to the starship, Destiny, of which he is
part owner. However, the beautiful, red-haired woman who reminds him of his
lost love, and who he suspects is working for a corrupt regime, represents a
possible threat not only to the ship, but to his heart.
Marooned on an
inhospitable planet, they need to work together to stay alive, fighting not
only unknown assailants, but their growing attraction. But how can they learn
to trust each other when he has vowed never to get close to a woman again, and
she made a solemn pledge to destroy him?
Share an excerpt
He made as if to stand, and in an instant, she drew her
pistol.
“Like I said before, no sudden moves. Get up—slowly.”
“So you are making me a prisoner?”
“Not exactly, but I’m not stupid enough to take any risks.”
He rose to his feet, his gaze not leaving her gunhand.
Several inches taller than her, broad shouldered and slim, he presented a
commanding figure. His expression froze as his gaze homed in on the insignia on
her breast pocket, his eyes like chips of blue ice.
“You work for the Union.”
“I work for myself.”
“Then why are you wearing the insignia of the Global Union
of Earth and Allied Planets?”
“I have a license to requisition any enemy ship trespassing
in the sectors of space over which they hold dominion.”
“A licensed pirate in the pay of the Global Union,” Kerry’s
eyes showed outright contempt. She almost preferred the icy coolness.
“I prefer to think of myself as a freelancer—doing a
service.”
His expression did not change, although he did change tack.
“You could have left me to die—or just shot me. Why didn’t you?”
“Call it a personality flaw. I don’t like abandoning
someone who’s wounded even to save my own skin. And I don’t kill in cold blood.
If I have to shoot someone, I’d rather they were facing me with their eyes
open.” Even if I did swear to leave their
dead body for the Union to use in their hideous experiments. Keep it casual.
Don’t let him guess what’s really in your mind.
To her amazement, he smiled the most devastating smile
she’d ever seen, made even more remarkable because he didn’t look as if he did
it very often.
“My own philosophy as it happens. It seems almost a pity we
are on opposite sides.”
“Opposite sides?”
“I have no love for the Union. That puts us on opposite
sides, even if you are just a pirate, doing their dirty work for them.”
She gave him her best withering look. “Fine. And just
because I decided to save your hide, don’t get any ideas. We don’t have to like
each other.”
Do you have a favorite scene?
Well, apart from the climax, which obviously I can’t reveal
*grin* but which I really enjoyed writing, I do rather like the part where Cat
has saved him from a monstrous alien river creature, but it wraps a tentacle
around her leg and pulls her towards the river. For a moment, she thinks she’s
been attacked by a snake – the only thing she’s afraid of. When they final kill
the creature, the smouldering attraction they’ve both been trying to ignore,
rises to the surface – but will they be able to put aside their mutual
suspicion long enough to act on it? Here’s a snippet.
“It seems I was
mistaken about the creature being dead.” Kerry prodded the smouldering mass
with his boot and looked across over the water. “It is now.” He leaned down and
grasped her wrist to haul her to her feet. “Are you hurt?”
“No, I don’t think
so.” Her shoulder was sore and probably bruised but she’d live.
She
tried to control her shivering. The incident affected her more than she wanted
to admit. Kerry’s proximity—naked to the waist, his lithe body shining from the
water droplets that still clung to his skin, and his legs swathed in tight
black leather—did nothing to help. The last thing she wanted was for him to
realize how scared she’d been when she thought a snake attacked her.
“Thanks.
That was close. It would have been a bit ironic if I’d been killed by the same
creature I saved you from.”
She
realized he still grasped her wrist. She tried to move away, but he pulled her
back, obliging her to turn to him.
“You’re
trembling.”
“I’m
fine.”
“No,”
he said. “You’re not.” He pulled her closer and his eyes softened, his gaze
holding her mesmerized.
She
opened her mouth to try to speak, but in the same instant, he put his hand
under her chin and his lips closed over hers.
What advice would you give a beginner?
Keep writing! Never give up and write what you enjoy writing about – and find a few beta readers or crit partners whom you can trust to give you an honest opinion of your final draft, after you’ve revised and rewritten it enough to make it the best you can get it. Then be prepared to revise some more – but only if you agree with what they’re telling you – you don’t have to accept everything but often they will spot something you’re too close to yourself, to be able to see.
Librarian Phoebe Addison has lived her entire life within a seventy-five mile
radius of her small Louisiana town, but when she receives a strange
medallion from her adventurous, off-world sister, reality tilts
toward the bizarre. Everything Phoe thought she knew is…well,
wrong. Dead wrong. But bone-numbing fear has no place in this brave
new world—nor by the side of the dangerous, exquisite man who saves her life.
…AND INTO THE FIRE
Following the tragic slaughter of his family, operative Macijah “Cage” St.
John understands evil in a way no man ever should. He traded
happiness for a magnificent and terrible power, and fate isn’t done
with him yet. He wasn’t looking for comfort. He didn’t need
tenderness. But today he’ll play hero to a damsel in distress, and
his quest will deliver him to the uncanny Martian colony of New
London—and his heart to the demure Phoebe Addison. The bookish beauty’s
hidden talents and deep abiding love just might save Cage from himself.
Macijah “Cage” St. John’ didn’t want the spy life anymore. He would
have been thrilled to spend every morning lying in the field behind
Phoe’s home in smalltown Louisiana watching the clouds roll by. But
his Miss Addison wanted to spread her wings, literally. So Cage
accepted a mission that teamed him up with his lady love. If only he
had trusted her.
TO THE FUTURE
Everything about being a spy was a million times more exciting, and scarier,
than the books she’d read in her former life as a librarian. When her
first mission with Cage turned into a colossal clusterf*ck because he
withheld information and kept secrets, Phoebe’s world narrowed into a
long tunnel of betrayal. Captured by space pirates and delivered to a
horrible fate, she wished the last words between them had been of
love, because she was certain she would never see Cage St. John again.
In NeoGeisha, Alexandra Christian returns to the intriguing,
post-apocalyptic world she created in Naked. Cage and Phoe continue
to build their relationship, but not without complications. Romantic
conflict and fast-paced action keep the pages turning, right down to
the satisfying ending. ~ Nancy Northcott, Author of the Light Mage
Wars series
NeoGeisha hit all my personal high points: wild adventure, sheet-scorching sex,
killer machines, thousands-to-two odds and a vampire shape-shitfting
James Bond in space. ~Vivien Jackson, Author of Wanted and Wired series
Interplanetary master spies, Macijah “Cage” St. John and Phoebe Addison
are forced to take vacation time, and she wants to go to Absinthia,
an off-world all inclusive interactive vacay planet set up as
Victorian London, but with all the future comforts. Cage doesn’t do
down time, but their boss has other ideas, so begrudgingly, Cage
agrees to go to Absinthia. Within a day of their arrival, they get
embroiled in a Ripper copy cat series of murders complete with
séances, “altered” humans, kidnapping, and affairs of the
heart – their hearts, which will always belong to each other.
Phoebe Addison and Macijah “Cage” St. John have so much going on
they can barely take a breath. Interplanetary master spies who
generally drive their boss crazy, they are now trying to track down
the person – is a skin walker a person? – who tried to kill him at
their engagement party. Yeah, they were talked into returning to
Louisiana so the whole town could show up and gawk at Cage. But they
have bigger problems than usual when tracking an assassin. Secrets
that have been buried for too many years are about to be uncovered if
Cage and Phoe can survive the people, vampires and “things”
that are trying to kill them. And to top if off, Phoe has a secret
she’s sure will send Cage into a tailspin. But, as with everything
they have lived through to be together, their love is the constant
that is its own reward.
