We all know love can be exciting and new (well, assuming you’ve seen The Love Boat).
But in Annie Mare’s romantic science fiction / fantasy novel Cosmic Love At The Multiverse Hair Salon (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), it’s also multiversal, queer, and well-coiffed.
In the following email interview, Mare discusses what inspired and influenced this stylish story, as well as how romantic it can be.
On her website, Sylvie Cathrall identifies herself as a “romantic fantasy author.”
But while the two novels that comprise her Sunken Archive duology are romantic and fantastical — and other things — the central relationships in them are not between lovers, but two sets of siblings.
And no, these stories don’t get all Game Of Thrones-y.
In the following email interview about the second book, A Letter From The Lonesome Shore (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), Cathrall talks about what inspired and influenced this novel, as well as how it completes the story she started in the first, A Letter To The Luminous Deep.
It’s amazing some of the things people have done out of spite. Like how Lamborghini started making sports cars to piss off the owner of Ferrari. Or how Sony made the PlayStation after Nintendo backed out of a deal for them to make CD-Rom drives for a Nintendo game console.
Well, it looks like there’s another one for the list: Kimberly Lemming’s science fiction / romantic comedy novel I Got Abducted By Aliens And Now I’m Trapped In A Rom-Com (paperback, Kindle, audiobook).
And yes, as she explains in the following email interview, the title is part of the spite process.

Writer Hana Lee is not the first person to be inspired by the movie Mad Max: Fury Road, and she won’t be the last.
Though she might be the first who was inspired to write a Fury Road-inspired fantasy story…with motorcycles…that run on magic.
In the following email interview, Lee talks about the novel in question, Road To Run (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), including how it’s (hopefully) the first book in a trilogy.
With Cath Laura’s new romantic cosmic horror novel Call Of Cthulhu: Secrets & Sacrifices (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), the good people at Aconynte Books are kicking off a new series, one connected to Chaosium’s table-top role-playing game Call Of Cthulhu.

In the following email interview about her new novel The Sins On Their Bones (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), writer Laura R. Samotin talks about how not seeing someone like her in fantasy stories led her to write this queer, Jewish, dark fantasy novel with a heavy romantic subplot, which is the first of a two-parter.
Love…it’s exciting and new. Or at least it can be if you’re caught in a time loop.
Which brings me to Mike Chen’s new romantic science fiction novel, A Quantum Love Story (paperback, Kindle, audiobook).
In the following email interview, Chen discusses what inspired and influenced this time loop love story, as well as how lovey it gets for those of us who are romantically challenged.
