Blurb(s):
Jane expected six months undercover to be hard; she expected it to be lonely and bleak. She didn’t expect to find love.
Jane Butler, a CIA operative, is assigned the task of infiltrating the Xanthians and determining if they’re a threat to humanity. Going undercover as a Xanthian mate, she boards the transport ship and meets Usnavi—her new mate. After spending six days traveling through space, Jane is ecstatic to explore the Xanthian station and soon sets out to complete her mission. The only problem? Usnavi—and the feelings she is quickly developing.
Fumbling their way through varying sexual expectations, cooking catastrophes, and cultural differences, they soon discover life together is never boring. As Jane and Usnavi careen into a relationship neither of them expected, Jane uncovers dark secrets about the Xanthians and realizes she may no longer be safe. When it becomes clear she’s on her own, Jane is forced to trust and rely on Usnavi. Simultaneously struggling with her mission, her feelings for Usnavi, and homesickness, Jane faces questions she never imagined she would have to answer.

Excerpt:
“I am not a man.”
Jane took a long sip from the drink, using it to bide her time before she asked the question on the tip of her tongue.
“What are you, then?”
“I am Xanthian.”
Usnavi stood up straight, zher back tense as zhe moved over to stand in front of Jane.
“Is it really that hard to understand that I am neither man nor woman, male nor female, that I am simply Xanthian and Usnavi?”
Grinding her back teeth together, Jane nodded minutely.
“Sometimes it is. Sometimes it’s not,” she responded.

Interview
1 – Which is the hardest genre to write and why?
1a – What is some of the technology in your book you wish you had in real life?
Other than a space ship that can travel that quickly, I wish I had the medical tools. The Xanthians have lot of medical knowledge, far more than humans, and frankly their methods are a lot less invasive, especially for women. I would love to have some of that technology had my disposal.
2 – Do you believe in life on other worlds?
Oh I absolutely do believe in life on other worlds. Why would I be so self-centered to think humanity is the only species able to survive? Sure, we’re tough, but we’re not that tough.
3 – What makes Across Worlds: Collision different (or a departure from your other writing)?
This is science fiction, and while I watch science fiction and read science fiction, I’ve never actually written it before. So it’s different in that aspect. It’s also different because of the gender-bending aspect of the alien race. The Xanthians are both male and female at the same time, and they can, at will, decide which form to take. It’s quite interesting to have a species so opposed to gender conformity yet so careful about sexual situations. Xanthians are not a race comfortable with the topic of sex even though their sex doesn’t matter, one would think it would be the opposite.
4 – In the movies, what is your favorite ‘alien’?
4 a – What’s your favorite “alien mishap” in the movies or television that’s happened?
On Star Trek: Enterprise when Trip got pregnant! Best episode of Star Trek (all of the series) ever!
5 – What, in your opinion, makes for a great story?
The characters and the plot. I tried to write an erotica for this novel, but it wasn’t happening, I needed the plot to keep the story interesting for myself, so it turned into erotic romance. I also needed the characters to make sense, to like each other and to genuinely have problems. People are flawed—present me a perfect person and it’s unbelievable and not interesting at all. The characters have to be flawed, have to be imperfect. The plot has to keep moving at a good pace and set the tone for the characters.
