New Release ~ Diamond Mine

My second sci fi/futuristic novella is available

Blurb:

Lithia, a human slave born into servitude has been mistreated not only by her alien overseers, but by fellow humans too. At a young age, she befriended and fell in love with a young Taresnian named Calen. 

Calen has loved Lithia since they became friends. After an altercation, she’s nearly beaten to death. Seeing his opportunity to keep her by his side, he steps in and nurses her back to health. Unfortunately, the woman he loves makes a decision that changes their relationship. Broken hearted, he joins his father’s army to become a warrior. 

Years later, he seeks Lithia out, hoping to pick up where they left off. Soon he discovers the woman he loves no longer wants anything to do with him. Will Calen give into the cruel nature he adapted when he became a conqueror, or will he show Lithia the kind-hearted soul beneath the hardened exterior of the warrior?

From my muse...don't tell her but she's a slave driver!

It took me several weeks until I felt comfortable enough to pursue publishing this piece

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

I'm unsure. I haven't read any other futuristic books. I'm just on a science fiction kick lately.

Besides my muse, my significant other because he loves me unconditionally. 

What else about your book might interest the reader?

I think readers will be interested in my heroine, Lithia. She's a slave who has been mistreated not only by the alien overseers, but by humans too, simply for befriending and falling in love with a young Taresnian warrior. She sought to change how the Taresnians mistreated slaves. When that didn't work, she adapted to her situation and never gave up hope while trying to protect her fellow humans even though they cared nothing for her.

Thanks so much for hanging out with me at my blog to learn more about Diamond Mine. Please visit the ladies below next Wednesday, 12/12/12 to check out their works in progress!
