About the Book:
How about romance with aliens? A
treason accusation? Brad Reynolds has his hands full. When Major Brad Reynolds
is assigned to head the Terran Federation base on planet Aleyne, the last thing
he expects to find is love, and certainly not with one of the alien Aleyni. How
can he keep his lover, in the face of political maneuvering and of Ardaval's
feelings for his former partners -- and theirs for him?
Margaret, tell us what you love about your
book.
I wrote it to answer a question
about back story in the first Aleyne novel, Relocated, when I wondered about
what happened to Ardaval's former partners. The answer ended up as a single
line in the original novel -- and Broken Bonds.
Introduce us to your favorite
secondary character.
My favorite among the secondary
characters is Imarin Namar, one of Ardaval's former partners. He walked out on
Ardaval, an action he later deeply regretted. The force of his love and regret
touched me deeply.
What did you learn in your research
for this story?
It's a science fiction novel, so in
a sense all of it is imaginary, but a trial features prominently in the book,
and I did look into procedures of the International Court when I was writing
some of the sections about the Interstellar Court in the book. My father was an
attorney and a couple of his close friends were judges, so I had plenty of
background in the basics, but there were still some things I wanted to check
out.
What do you hope readers will tell
others about it?
That they love the book and are
eager to read more of the Aleyne novels.
I also hope they enjoy the
poetry I've included in the novel.
Can you share what’s coming next?
The fourth novel in the series, Rebellion,
is coming from MuseItUp Publishing in the summer of 2015. It tells the story of
Colonel Rob Walker, the man who arrests Brad Reynolds, the main character in
Broken Bonds, for treason in Broken Bonds.
I've also started working on the
fifth book, a prequel that details the first meeting between the Terrans and
the Aleyni.
