Hello! Thank you for joining us! I’m thrilled to be here today, celebrating the release of THE AKSELI, the next stand-alone novel on my exciting new Aldebarian Alliance series. If you like sci-fi and paranormal romance with strong heroes, kick-ass heroines, lovable secondary characters, and lots of action, passion, and humor, then I think you’ll really enjoy Simone and Janwar’s story. It’s a fun escape that follows a fierce warrior who leaves her vampire hunting days behind and embarks upon her first adventure in space.

I have always loved science fiction. It always fires my imagination and takes me on adventures far beyond my reach. It also provides a fantastic distraction during stressful times. What better escape can there be, after all, when you need one than to leave the planet and embark upon a journey into outer space?

Simone needed just such an escape. Since where she meets some fascinating new aliens while on her adventure, I thought I would share some of my All-time Favorite Alien movies, which range from action-packed to funny to frightening.
