About the author:
"Writing has been an integral part of my life. I have many plots in the pipeline ... so many and only one life! But I hope to get as many as I can out there either self published or through publishers.
I fell in love with the medieval era. So much fiction that can be interwoven between facts and real people of history! The futuristic aspect of what might be in science fiction drew me like a magnet. I pre empted the popularity of supernatural fiction too with my love for that genre. What I write now reflects my interests."
ON TARGET
Genre science fiction, erotic
Blurb
An assassin needs anonymity, loose ends tied up. Svanger slayers have no room for sentiment. Until one woman cracks his icy veneer.
Ace reporter Chaz Halyssion is witness to the assassination of the King of Malthusen. She has it recorded. As one of the few off-worlders there she is under immediate suspicion and on the run. Problem is the real assassin knows she can identify him but he needs her to help him get off-world.
Aldien is the last of the legendary Chameleords. The best at his job in the galaxy. He never leaves anything to chance. Chaz is his last option for escape. She dies once her usefulness is over.
In his darkness Chaz sows a thread of light and hope Aldien needs to extinguish. With regret. In the end he has to choose. He has two options. Kill her, or mind-wipe her and walk away from her forever.

The author shares 13 sentences from On Target:
1 Her family, for all its status and importance,
wouldn’t stand by her or disrupt their lives for her well-being.
2 Somehow she needed to glide through the night,
unrecognised, and make it to board the starflight home
3 As a Svanger slayer he must preserve invisibility,
nothing to connect him to a completed mission.
4 Before she hit the floor the same arms that held her
captive caught her and lifted her against a leather-clad chest.
5 “My murder. Or is rape your motivation? That’s what
you want,” she spat out in a bitter whisper.
6 “It’s a long ride to the starport. You won’t be able
to evade capture and detention alone. Not many survive questioning,
particularly where it concerns the death of their king.”
7 “Yeah, right. Obviously you have something bigger than
your ego they desire. Your natural charm leaves much to the imagination.” The
fiend was enjoying this.
8 “Listen closely. I’m telling you only once. This day
has been hell. I got squashed in crowds, singed by stray laser fire, turned
into a fugitive, ran until my lungs gave up, found myself a seedy room,
attacked by you, then my senses assaulted and aroused.” She flexed her nails
into his skin to emphasise her demand. “ I want. You give. Got it?”
9 By taking his body unconditionally she seduced his
mind.
10 “Strange woman. Naked you didn’t have any
pretensions. Dressed, you have reservations about getting up close. I don’t
think either of us is in a condition to indulge in wild uninhibited sex in this
tight space. And you are the one in danger of succumbing to an illness.”
11 “Chameleord. It gave my race the means to disguise
themselves in other appearances, including a change of eye colour. Mine are
predominantly blue-based. However, I can achieve amber, brown, emerald greens
and any other variation I can see.”
12 There was no room for sentimentality or any other
emotion. She had to die.
13 Damned if he killed her, damned if he let her live.
Either way there was a wound within him that would never heal."
