FINALLY KATE TREATS US TO AN EXCERPT FROM NO ORDINARY LOVE
When I woke I was in a small room, naked except for the salves on my skin and a warm blanket wrapped around my body. I looked around James was sleeping in a chair next to the bed with a shotgun at his side. I tried to sit up and his eyes flickered open.
"Keep still. they'll sense you."
His nearnes was enough to make me yearn for his touch. Relationships between Capturians and humans were taboo by their very nature. But James himself was an anomaly. He was the offspring of a capturian Master and his female human slave. He never talked about it, but I knew it left him with a bitterness and heaviness that not even the oldest of human survivors had.
He'd been a guard on the slave ship I'd originally been sent to, early on in the fighting. the 'experiments' had been tortuous. During my first six months there, they tried to break me. Every night I was in tears. angry, bitter, terrified tears. When I slept there was no relief, either, as I was haunted in my dreams by the things they had done to me in the daytime. Eventually, I lost all sense of time or place. I was about to fall on my sword when James was assigned to watch me and make sure I didn't rally the other human slaves. Instead ofplunging me into utter darkness and suspending me in air, he'd come to me, that first night, and held me through it.

You all are so sweet. Another Way To Die is due out January 20th. No Ordinary Love was a blast to write Marian, I hope you like it. I <3 the Kentucky Derby. Growing up in Louisville it's a weeklong party that last week in April. And the writing rules are from a screenwriting instructor, Michael Hague. He was the bomb.
