The book birthday celebration for Fools Rush In, Book 3 in the Interstellar Rescue series just keeps rolling on. Tuesday, October 18, was the official launch day, but reviews, interviews and guest blogs continue to spread the news about this book, my first real space opera noir novel.
Fools Rush In features a woman of color as the heroine. Undercover Rescue agent Rayna Carver is of African-American descent, though she grew up in the polyglot colony of Terrene, far from Earth. So I've spent some time talking about diversity in science fiction romance as a guest blogger. You can find the first of these in Heather Massey's The Galaxy Express 2.0 blog (now part of the Science Fiction Romance Quarterly), which appeared October 15.
I'll be addressing the topic from a slightly different perspective (how did Rayna come to be) on Pauline Baird Jones's blog Monday, October 24.
This third installment in the Interstellar Rescue series is a bit of a departure for me. Unlike Books 1 and 2, Fools Rush In takes place entirely away from Earth, mostly in space. There are plenty of space battles, lusty romance and evil aliens, but it also includes some shadowy dirtside locales and a criminal underworld element. (Sam, the hero of the story, is a pirate, after all!) So I call the story space opera noir. Think STAR TREK meets BLADE RUNNER.
I describe the concept more fully in my guest post on the Science Fiction Romance Brigade blog, which appeared October 18.
