Hello all you naughty readers and writers and lovers of science fiction and erotica! Here's a bit of spice I'm passing along from new Eternal Press author Leigh Wood. Look for her sf erotica novel On The Way to New Isosceles to go live this Saturday November 7.
So, here begins Leigh's tawdry tale... ~On The Way To New Isosceles by Leigh Wood Ebook and Paperback from Eternal Press! http://leighwood.blogspot.com JJ was as hard nosed as they come-and them some. But, hey , the destruction of earth did that to everyone. Humanity fractioned into three groups. Affectionately known as 'the Shitters', the Shipper Brigade manufactures the best space faring vehicles for themselves. Skilled fighters and martial artists Combatants like JJ fight the Shippers for what they can-even though Combatant numbers were severely depleted by the third faction. The Nukes rescued chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons from earth's doom and aren't afraid to use them. You can imagine JJ's surprise when she meets the Nuke Lieutenant Rub. Their initial meeting didn't rub either the right way. Despite her Nuke anxiety-JJ has to put it all aside. Her Captain and the Nuke Colonel have struck a deal to defeat the Shippers once and for all. The Nukes leave their tiny outpost on a far flung, degrading planet and join the Combatants in taking the lush planet protected by the Shippers. It's a long, tough journey on the way to New Isosceles, and the animosity between Rub and JJ gets hotter by the day....... An Isosceles' Who's Who Lieutenant Jessica Johnson - Nicknamed JJ by her Combatant comrades, the strong willed red head has seen much and harbors her share of ill will towards her enemy the Shippers, and her former enemies the Nukes. JJ was a child when the comet destroyed Earth, and the otherwise all business Lieutenant often has nightmares reliving the destruction if her hometown in Iowa-the crash site of the deadly meteor. Lieutenant Jason Rubelli - Rub is the Nuke Ladies Man almost by default. His wit, fighting prowess, charm and good looks make he an easy leader to follow. Most of the Combatants has no trouble answering to Rub. JJ, however, resents his presence and his attraction to her. Rub's not afraid to mix business with pleasure, but his attitude begins to change once he's forced to bunk with JJ. Captain Scott Westmayer - Scott Westmayer knew JJ on earth, and their history is very special to JJ. The only person allowed to call her Jess, JJ isn't afraid to tell her Captain what's on her mind, and Westmayer always lends an ear. A dear friend and command, Westmayer is always giving JJ the support she needs-except when it comes to Nukes. Westmayer wants to see an end to the war, and he expects JJ to follow his lead. Staff Sergeant Miguel Carlos Santiago Rafael - Once the fresh Latino befriends Rub, he's not afraid to discuss his sexuality with the Nuke. On the journey to New Isosceles, Miguel develops into something of a double agent. Trusted by both JJ and Rub, Miguel is able to give each of the Lieutenants valuable information regarding their turbulent relationship. Colonel Jackson Gauthier - The commended leader of The Nukes is determined to keep the delicate alliance with the Combatants alive, even going so far as agreeing to put the opposing Lieutenants JJ and Rub together. When Shipper threats become a reality, Gauthier's leadership saves the day. Private Ina Wu - Witty Korean Ina Wu is a swift fighter and swifter woman for attempting to stay above ship politics and romances. She is perhaps JJ's closest friend on board, often providing level headed advice and logical plans of action-in ship operations on and off the bridge. Private Kimmie Dejonaire - Although she is slightly ditzy and known more to her fellow combatants for her bedroom services, Kimmie Dejonaire is an exceptional hand to hand fighter. She gladly trades techniques with her new Nuke friends and develops a special relationship with Nuke Corporals Tammy Lyn Filago and Miller Worthington. Corporal Tammy Lyn Filago - Tammy Lyn is lovingly called TLF by her male Nuke pals, and not because its her initials. Her romantic history with Rub isn't exactly clear, and it causes some awkward moments between Tammy Lyn and her newfound superior, JJ. Despite their similar hot hot status, Tammy Lyn and Kimmie become very close, even developing an unusual relationship with Mills Worthington. Corporal Miller Worthington III - Mills is somewhat of a geek or nerd. His genius is behind most of the Nuke technologies, but the Corporal is also part of the popular Nuke set. Rumors about his physical prowess spread through the Combatant Mother Ships, and Miller quickly finds himself at the center of both Kimmie Dejonaire and Tammy Lyn Filago's affections. Corporal Edward MacDonald - Mac may appear stupid and living every moment according to his Machismo nickname, but the Nuke is shrewd in strategy and planning. Often the final piece of a Nuke puzzle, Mac also uses his wit for elaborate pranks and relationship theories. A long time friend of Rub, Mac also becomes a source of strength for JJ where the Nuke Lieutenant is concerned. You can always find me at the obligatory blog or my shared livejournal with EP author Kristin Battestella. Her horror, my erotica. Scares and Spices seemed to be a great title! http://leighwood.blogspot.com http://kristin724.livejournal.com I'm also hogging some file space and have a complete calendar of events at the Kristin Battestella Yahoo Group. US NJers must stick together! http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/kristinbattestella Here's a touch about me, just in case you're wondering who this zany red head is! Newly married and living the high-rise condo life, Leigh Wood is not tech savvy and fights with writing on her laptop between baking and sewing projects. She prefers handwriting with weird pens and odd paper and collects animal prints and records via rummage sales. Leigh loves naughty fantasy and science fiction, but sharpens her skills with nonfiction essays and reviews. Her articles can be found at I Think, Therefore I Review (http://ithinkthereforeireview.blogspot.com) or her own blog (http://leighwood.blogspot.com). Previously, Leigh boldly wrote her memoir Cracked, and is currently working on her next epic erotic novel-a fantasy tentatively titled Horns of Myleness. Whew! LW

Here's the excerpt from On the Way To New Isosceles' Eternal Press ordering page
Excerpt The clang of high heeled shoes echoed down the corridor, and soon enough, Lieutenant Johnson approached the trio. Rub thought she looked harsh and formal enough in her GI pants and hard pony tail, but this must have been an occasion! Her hair was clean, neat, and slicked back in a twist. She wore her black dress uniform-buttoned perfectly from the collar to her knee grazing hem. Medals adorned her left breast, and her hat remained tucked perfectly under her arm. The lieutenant’s only blights were the cuts across her forehead and a swollen lip courtesy of him-if he did say so himself. He felt some pride in marring her perfect display, even though his nose was swelled, too; a small slight on his otherwise exquisite appearance. “Here we go, finally.” He rolled his eyes more, but glanced back at JJ. She was a woman, after all, and Rub put on his air of cheeky charm. It worked on every other woman, what was so special about her? “Good Morning, Captain, Miguel, and you.” Ouch! She was one tough cookie, but that wouldn’t deter his suave charm. “Call me Rub, JJ.” “It’s Lieutenant Johnson.” He smiled and looked down at the rigid seams of her hose. Where he disliked the cold shoulder he had received from other Combatants, he enjoyed pissing this one off. He probably shouldn’t play the sexual card yet, but she was behaving like a bitch in a man’s world. It was hot. On the Way to New Isosceles is rated 4 Flames by EP. Here's their heat definitions Erotic Romance - 4 flames (includes clinical/graphic terms for body parts and intercourse. Must contain a romantic theme. It may include light bdsm, glbt, ménage and anal sex as long as its frequency does not out weigh vanilla sex) You can read more excerpts, including the first TWO Chapters FREE at Leigh's blog or our collaborative livejournal page, Scares and Spices http://leighwood.blogspot.com http://kristin724.blogspot.com
