Welcome Diane Dooley! A Special Guest for a Blog Hop Day

St. Patrick's Day weekend is a great time to host the fabulous SFR author Diane Dooley. She is celebrating the March 13th release of her latest e-book, Mako's Bounty. I am so pleased to have her here today. Needless to say I'm captivated by the forbidden love theme of this book and look forward to reading its intriguing story. Diane is giving away a pdf download of Mako's Bounty to one lucky person, so read on and be sure to leave a comment with your email information and you'll be included in the drawing.

Mako’s Bounty: Enemies On A One Night Stand

I love the romance trope of forbidden love and I tackled it in Mako’s Bounty with gusto. Mako and Vin are enemies. She’s a bounty hunter who’s been tracking the wily space pirate for months. She’s gotten close to him before, but he’s always managed to wriggle out of her clutches.  Not this time, heh. Mako is pretty sure he won’t escape her again. She’s lured him to a one night stand with the woman of his feverish dreams - herself. But Vin is a lot smarter than she thinks. When these two come face to face for the first time...well, enemies have been known to fall in love.

In tales of forbidden love it isn’t uncommon for the lovers to realize that, though they may be very different people on the surface, there is something very powerful that they have in common. This is true of Mako’s Bounty. Mako hunts on behalf of a mining megacorporation that treats its employees like slaves; Vin is Ravenscorp’s public enemy number one, spending his life in violent opposition to corporate hegemony. But when Mako and Vin meet, they soon realize they have one very important thing in common, and Vin exploits this to the fullest, determined to win Mako’s loyalty.  

It was incredibly fun to write this short, sexy and humorous little tale. Even in a story this short (32 pages) I still managed to build in all kinds of interesting little tidbits, from political shenanigans to religious belief, from human evolution in space to new advances in sexual protection. Someone once said of me that I do not waste a single word in my writing. My editor, the lovely Kate Richards, might disagree with that *grin* But I can guarantee that I wrote every word of this book with love and giggles and a goofy-looking smile. I hope readers laugh their way through this love story, too.

I’m delighted to give away a pdf copy of Mako’s Bounty to a random reader of Kaye’s blog. To enter the giveaway please answer this question: what is your favorite tale of forbidden love?

Bio: Diane Dooley was born in the Channel Islands and grew up in Scotland. After many years of moving and traveling she finally settled down in Upstate New York where the summers are short and the winters just might kill you. She lives with her best friend/husband, who can’t fix a damn thing, and two obstreperous boy children in a falling-down farmhouse in the sticks. She is very happy.
