GALILEO’S HOLIDAY
GALILEO’S HOLIDAY
Part of A Galactic Holiday SciFi Holiday Anthology
Carina Press
ISBN: ASIN B009FWZ1C6
Ice miner Riley works alone in the
depths of space, and that's the way she likes it. She's proud of her
independence, and when her ship gets destroyed by raiders on the icy surface of
Galileo, she's not sure she wants to rely on rakish trader Leo and the kindness
of a band of settlers to survive.
Despite her attempts to keep her
distance, it's not long before Riley warms to the family atmosphere of the
settlers' station. As Galileo's Holiday approaches and she develops feelings
for the handsome, charming Leo, she questions whether she really wants to
remain alone.
But Leo is hiding cargo the raiders
want, and when they come back for it, everyone on the small station is in
danger. Riley will risk anything to protect her new friends—because if the
raiders succeed, the choice between Leo and a life alone won't be Riley's to
make.
Sasha Summers is part gypsy. Her passions have always been storytelling, history, and
travel. It's no surprise that her books visit times past, set in places rich
with legends and myth. Her first play, 'Greek Gods and Goddesses' (original
title, right?), was written for her Girl Scout troupe. She's been writing ever
since. She loves getting lost in the worlds and characters she creates; even if
she frequently forgets to run the dishwasher or wash socks when she's doing so.
Luckily, her four brilliant children and hero-inspiring hubby are super
understanding and supportive.
THE ROAMING QUESTIONS
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
SASHA: Um… probably daily. Whether I’m reading, writing,
or watching something on the television – I love getting lost in a story.
ANGI: What’s the first book you remember reading?
SASHA: On my own I’d say Barbara Cartland. I couldn’t
tell you which one, we had a huge collection. But I made my way through each
and every one. I could not wait for my first kiss!!!
ANGI: What’s your favorite fairy tale?
SASHA: I love Beauty and the Beast. I mean, I love all of
them – even the non-Disney versions J… but there’s something about the Beast that makes me all swoony.
ANGI: What do you like about the hero of your book?
SASHA: Leo is a man’s man. He says what he thinks, is
fiercely protective, and very pro-active. He’s also yummy… J
ANGI: Where do you read and how often?
SASHA: I read every night before I go to bed – in my bed.
Sometimes on my Kindle, sometimes a ‘real’ book.
ANGI: What sound or noise do you love?
SASHA: My kids laughing. I can’t help but smile when I
hear them. Unless it’s their evil giggle – then I know I need to book it into
their room to see what they’re up to. J
ANGI: Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?
SASHA: Mash-up please. For example, one of my favorite
movies is The Mummy with Rachel Weisz and Brendan Frazier. Own it and still
watch it when it comes on TV.
ANGI: I DO TOO !!!
ANGI: What is your biggest vice?
SASHA: Food… oh and Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Man, they are
SERIOUSLY addictive.
ANGI: How is it working with hot guys and sexy women
all day?
SASHA: Pretty good. I’m one lucky lady.
ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: Medusa? Hollywood? Galileo in
space? So many ideas. So many places? Where’s your favorite? Fictional or Real.
SASHA’S GOTTA ANSWER: Oh Angi! WOW, what a question! I mean it
when I say I don’t have a favorite. When I’m writing a book, that’s my
favorite. I’m a fiction gal – all the way. And writing in so many sub-genres
lets me go and explore and have adventures through time and space J through my characters. With each genre, I find a
nugget that’s my favorite. With the myths – it’s finding that place to throw in
a curve ball. I don’t want to change myths, just question what we know about
them – and that’s FUN. With contemporary romance – set in Hollywood – I mean,
who wouldn’t want to live that life? Not full-time, mind you – but for 300
pages or so. J And SciFi is the ultimate in adventure writing for me. I’d never
written anything like Galileo’s Holiday but I have an entire series that WILL
follow. I guess you could say I have an overactive imagination. Long answer –
sorry! J
ANGI: And thanks for sharing your worlds with us!!
