From the blog of Nicholas C. Rossis, author of science fiction, the Pearseus epic fantasy series and children's booksYou may have noticed lovely Michelle Proulx hanging around my blog. Today, she’s revealing her new cover for her book, Imminent Danger (and how to fly straight into it).

To celebrate, she has a great giveaway on her blog!

May I also say that I have read her book and loved it. Imaginative sci-fi mixed with romance, the book sparkles with Michelle’s great sense of humour. Since no ones knows how long we have before she repairs her starship and heads back to Vega Minor, I suggest you hurry and check it out on Amazon!

Why did she Need a New Cover, Anyway?

In the far-gone year of two thousand and twelve, a naive young authoress with a trusting heart gave unto a company thousands of dollars with which to publish her novel.

But alas!

For this foolish young authoress did not realize the assisted-publishing path was fraught with peril, and the thousands paid were not in value received. Control was relinquished, prices did skyrocket, and the young authoress cried out to the heavens,

“Woe is me! Would that I had done this publishing business myself!”

And the young authoress did take it upon herself to publish the novel, commissioning a talented artist to provide her with a new cover that doth more accurately capture the spirit of her novel. And lo! The new cover is revealed.

Book summary

High school junior Eris Miller thinks she’s having a bad day when her roommate’s boyfriend catches her stepping out of the shower wearing nothing but a towel. Then she gets abducted by scaly six-armed aliens with a strange fondness for the color blue, and her day suddenly gets a whole lot worse.

Trapped on a spaceship bound for the slave markets of Sirius B, Eris fears she’ll never see her home again. But then fate whisks her away from her reptilian captors and into the arms of Varrin, a fast-talking space pirate who promises to deliver her safely back to Earth. He claims to have her best interests at heart, but Eris soon discovers that her charming rescuer has a hidden agenda.

As they race across the galaxy, outrunning a villainous figure from Varrin’s past, Eris begins to realize that their relationship is putting her planet, her life, and her heart in imminent danger. She knows that trusting Varrin could prove deadly … but what other choice does she have?

Who’s this Michelle Proulx Again?

Michelle Proulx was born on the market moon of Vega Minor where she spent her formative years reading, writing, and gambling at illegal underground jsgarn fighting rings. While en route to Alpha Centauri, Michelle crash-landed her space yacht on the planet Earth. She now lives in Canada and divides her time between observing the local fauna and repairing her star ship.
