2022--Time Travel Back... To Last Year!

 

2022 was a Quantum year for Romance Writing with a Twist, with four new books to add to your reading shelf!

1. The first addition to the year 2022 is QUANTUM KISSES, a contemporary romance where we wonder: Can an ordinary gemstone bring together two people clearly meant for each other?

Just Imagine Fanzine says, 5 Kisses! In this imaginative tale, Annabelle and Sam are made for each other, only Annabelle is, to use a word, skittish. And why not? They first meet when she’s only fourteen. I love how Ms. Knight takes us back to junior high, high school, and college, to then vault into Annabelle’s present day adult life. Is a sparkling gemstone responsible for uniting these two would-be lovers? Read QUANTUM KISSES to find out!

QUANTUM KISSES is available on Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SGN5GNX and

2. Next up is A Caixa Mágica, the Portuguese version of THE QUESTING BOX, a Regency Time-Travel Romance. Rae Santini plans to go on a quest to heal herself. What she doesn’t know is that she must travel back to the past to do it.

S. A. Santos Says: 5 Stars! Fun, thrilling, and romantic! Helene Madison is going through tough times in the 21st century. She gave up her job, her home, her friends, all for love. But it flopped miserably and she promised herself, from now on, to curb her impulsive nature and think before acting in every aspect of her life. I absolutely loved this new time-travel romance by the amazing author Susanne Knight. It's fun, thrilling, and romantic (of course). I recommend it!

4. And last but not least, we have OFF THE GRID, a favorite romantic suspense. Running from her mother’s killers, Jean goes into hiding. A chance meeting with a small town’s chief of police upsets not only her escape plans but also changes her life.

Ebook: Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJQ5QM6W

and Smashwords.com https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1174457

In print at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJYGHY23/

Norwood Reviews raves: Another winner from author Susanne Marie Knight! Jean Walters, a young woman in trouble, must hide from her mother’s killers. She plans to “go off the grid” to keep her whereabouts secret. Well, I can tell you, if going off the grid means bumping into police captain Lawrence Crenshaw, then sign me up! The chemistry between these two had me fanning my face!! This novel is a perfect escape from today’s busy world. OFF THE GRID is definitely a keeper!

Happy reading to all... no matter what the year!

2023--A Banner Year For Romance Writing With A Twist!

 

2023 was a banner year for Romance Writing with a Twist! Five, count ‘em, five books were released during this past year.

We started off the year with the popular paranormal romance, MY FAVORITE GHOST, who asks the question: Is it possible to make love to a ghost?

Just Imagine Fanzine says, “Getting these two together was fun to read. Their delightful banter made me keep turning the pages. I had no idea how this unusual situation would resolve itself. Ms. Knight delivers once again!”

MY FAVORITE GHOST is available for purchase electronically at Amazon.com and Smashwoods.com and in print.

Next published is the science fiction romance, THE ENTITLED, where one “lucky” lady finds out what it’s like to be kidnapped by an alien! After being turned down for an interstellar mission, Gelsey ends up going anyway when she is abducted by an alien.

Norwood Reviews says: Take a flight to a faraway planet. Solve the mystery of a world fighting with itself. Have a taste of Zaccheus, an Entitled one and one of the sexiest men alive--human OR alien. Will Earther Gelsey accept or reject proud Brhite warrior, Zaccheus? Grab a copy and find out!

THE ENTITLED is available for purchase electronically at Amazon.com and in print.

Then we have June’s release, the family favorite, WISHING FOR A DUKE, a time-travel Regency, where we’ll see how a contemporary young woman thinks she has everything she wants... until a hypnosis session changes her mind... and her location!

The Romance Guide says: Pure heaven. Here is another Susanne Marie Knight time-travel Regency to binge on! Make a wish on a daisy, throw in a little Thyme, a hypnotic beat here, a village healer there, and voilà! You have all the fixings for a high-in-the-instep Duke to fall in love with a twenty-first century beautician. Will he ask her to become his Duchess? Will she say yes? Find out for yourself in WISHING FOR A DUKE!

WISHING FOR A DUKE is available for purchase electronically at Amazon.com  and Smashwords.com and Print.

And, then we have another Minx Tobin Mystery!! Back by popular demand! THE KISSING KISS is number seven in the mystery series. Minx worries that Los Angeles’ newest serial killer is after her husband, Gabe. But maybe it’s Minx that the killer wants to “kiss!”

On The Edge Reviews says: THE KILLING KISS is a delightful and inventive tale reuniting all the major players in the Minx Tobin universe. I enjoyed reading how each character “grew”... or not... in the year and a half since Book Number Six. If you enjoy well-written and satisfying whodunits, give the Minx Tobin Murder Mysteries a try. You won’t be disappointed! Two thumbs up!

The seventh case in the Minx Tobin Mystery Romance Series is now available electronically at Amazon.com and Smashwords.com. And in print.

The last book to be published in 2023 is the frothy contemporary romance, NEVER TRUST A BILLIONAIRE. Can working girl Claressa Lauriano outwit a not-to-be-trusted billionaire who is determined to have his way with her?

S.G. Reviews says: Beware of billionaires offering a single red rose! Claressa unsuspectingly accepts the flower, and ends up fake engaged to billionaire Elliot Beaumont. As she struggles to end this pretend arrangement, Elliot becomes more and more enamored of her. He wants the engagement to be real. Will he win Claressa over? I love how this down-to-earth gal unwittingly lassos in the uber-rich Elliot. That guy never had a chance!

And now, onto 2024!! Happy New Year to you all!

The Scoop On Writing THE XENON ADVANTAGE

I must’ve been in the mood for an ethical dilemma. I felt drawn to write a science fiction romance, and all I could think about is what if a group of explorers from Earth were sent to a distant planet for purposes of colonization. What if their government, SolSpace, insisted the planet was uninhabited, however as the explorers approach, they receive disturbing evidence to the contrary. What’s a morally ethical leader to do? Throw in a psychic beauty, an aggressive male from Earth, and a lovesick alien, and voilà, you have THE XENON ADVANTAGE!

OUT OF HER ELEMENT

Naressa, a native of the Earth colony on Alpheratz 3, is chosen at the last minute be the communications officer on an exploratory mission to a planet in the Southern Cross sector. Her hidden ability to receive and translate alien thoughts is the reason for this decision. Now aboard the Nautilus, she’s met with hostility... and something else... by Kurt Stone, the starship’s CO who is annoyed that she replaced his on-again-off-again lover. She also receives messages from a powerful... and amorous alien leader, Mavolian, telling her to “come to him.” Naressa has no interest in forming a love connection with anyone, however Mavolian is determined and Kurt is smitten by her. Will she be able to give up her freedom for the boundaries of love?

OUT OF HIS ELEMENT

Years ago, Kurt Stone left the endless routine of his homestead in the Greater Dakotas for the excitement and danger of interstellar space. He excels at his job and pursues his goal of obtaining a captaincy. On a treacherous mission to explore a uninhabited planet, Acrux 4--a twin of Earth--he meets an unusual female, Naressa, native to an Earth colony that has an excessive amount of the element Xenon in its atmosphere. As it turns out, Acrux 4 also is abundant in Xenon. As Kurt fights his attraction to her, he has to endure watching as the powerful alien leader, Mavolian, makes a play for Naressa. Can Kurt set his jealously aside and convince her to be with him for always?

A dangerous interstellar assignment to colonize a nonterrestrial world forces Naressa to butt heads with a powerful alien leader and a stubborn Terran crewmember.

Here are some wonderful reviews:

* Ms. Knight poses an interesting dilemma in THE XENON ADVANTAGE, her latest science fiction romance novel. A prosperous Earth is determined to expand to other planets. A near-duplicate, uninhabited world is discovered, and SolSpace sends an exploratory ship, the Nautilus, to pave the way for future colonization. But wait, is the planet truly without intelligent lifeforms? Is SolSpace secretly aware that the planet is inhabited, and sends a starship anyway? What about the ship’s crew, do they know what awaits them on Acrux 4? The intrepid Nautilus crew must deal with gut-wrenching wormholes and powerful, hostile aliens, in addition to circumventing the differences between Earth natives and Earth colonies around the solar system, as well as a telepathic native from an Earth colony on the distant planet Alpheratz 3--Naressa. Far from her distant home for the first time, Naressa has her hands full dealing with an amorous alien leader and a jealous Earth commander, along with the trials and tribulations of life aboard a tin can ship. Definitely a 5 star read!--Twist On Romance Reviews

* 5 Stars! What in the world is a Xenon Advantage and how can I get it? The easiest way is to read THE XENON ADVANTAGE and enjoy your journey into the vast expanse of interstellar space. Be sure to wear your “blocking cap” to ensure complete privacy! I loved watching our heroine, Naressa, learn how to not only handle her crewmates’ inappropriate thoughts when she doesn’t have her blocking cap on, but also how she grows into the mature woman she’s destined to become. A thoroughly enjoyable read!--Decatur Reviews.

This book is part of the Fascinating Sci-Fi line.

Here’s a real life tidbit. Naressa has an affinity for animals and likes to quiet down the research animals aboard the starship Nautilus. She intuits that Betty the bunny is upset so she removes the animal from its cage and holds Betty in her lap. Then Kurt comes across her.

Quickly... and gracefully getting to her feet, Naressa moved over to a nearby cage, released its lock, and then put the rabbit back with its fellow inmates.

“Okay, Betty, in you go, back with your bunny friends.” Naressa patted the rabbit and then turned to him. 

Glad to get out of his crouching position, Kurt wasn’t as graceful--not by half. He watched her for a second, knowing, somehow instinctively, that she was feeling troubled.

Her seductive scent weaved its way into his soul. He took a step closer. “What’s this all about, Naressa?”

Her breathing rate must’ve increased for the rise and fall of her breasts under her uniform mesmerized him. Was her rapid breathing due to his presence beside her?

“I... I knew Betty was upset. I came down here to soothe her.”

That was a far-fetched statement. Hell, all the rabbits were probably “upset.”

My experience with a bunny was quite different. I was around ten years old and I visited a friend who’d received a cute, full-sized bunny for Easter. We were out on her lawn, me sitting there with legs bent under me. I petted--gently petted, I might add--the bunny, and all of a sudden it sank its front teeth into my thigh! Oh dear, there was a bit of blood. Yep, I thought bunnies weren’t meat eaters! Needless to say, I quickly got up and had nothing more to do with my friend’s Easter bunny! :))

I hope you enjoy Naressa and Kurt’s out-of-this-world story!
