Bio:
Deborah O’Neill Cordes is an award-winning screenwriter
and novelist of historical and speculative fiction. She is the author of the
sci-fi time travel novel, Dragon Dawn,
Book One of the Dinosaurian Time Travel Series, and its prequel, Alienne Mine, which blends fields of
study she loves in equal measure – Deborah holds a bachelor’s degree in zoology
and a master’s degree in history. She is also the co-author of the Morgan
O’Neill time travel novels. Deborah resides in the Pacific
Northwest with her husband and two West Highland White Terriers,
who, alas, are precocious terriers and therefore never white.
Excerpt from Alienne Mine, a Prequel to Dragon Dawn:
As Alienne readied her mind to send Edward back to his world, she
realized she had not told him about things like the wet-ware in her brain or
her ability to communicate telepathically, if she chose to do so.
There was still much to share, the many things he could learn from
her and she from him, but there was no time for that now. “I must say goodbye,
Edward.”
He drew her close and whispered, “With a kiss.”
He touched his lips to hers, and her twin hearts leapt in wonder. A
gentle caress, the soft, shared breath of two living beings. A mark of his
world, alien to her but entrancingly familiar given how long she’d watched
humans loving one another.
“Alienne.” He groaned her name just as his embrace deepened, but she
had sent the thought command to the teleportation device in the instant he
leaned down to kiss her. Before another breath was spent, he was gone.
She leaned back against the wall of her ship, the cold metal as much
a shock to her senses as the warmth she’d experienced in his arms. They’d
touched briefly, for a moment in time, yet she knew the thrill of being alive
would not return until he held her again.
I must go. She studied the planet Mars and realized she could not delay.
Whatever was down there might find her. This hiding place on Deimos offered no
real protection. If her instincts were correct, she needed to leave orbit – and
fast.

Thank you for spotlighting my sci-fi series, Karyn. I hope your readers enjoy these glimpses into future (and past!) alternate dinosaurian and human universes.
Glad to have you Deb, any time!
