A Cyborg's Old Terran Christmas: Cyborg Nation, #1

By Melisse Aires

Interstellar bride Nell and her three children are forced to enter space-sleep capsules in the hope of surviving a calamity. She wakes over seven hundred years later on a ship of cyborg warriors. In this strange environment, Nell can't imagine what their future will hold, but she is determined to keep her promise and make Christmas for her children. Even surrounded by cyborgs who know nothing of family, children, or Christmas.

 

Captain Argent, like all the newly freed members of the Cyborg Nation, longs for a family and a human life. There are few cyborg females, they will need to find human wives. Nell planned to marry an unknown colonist, maybe she would marry him.

Melisse Aires

Take a shy Catholic school bookworm from Montana. Hand her a stack of her much older brother’s sci-fi and fantasy novels, James Bond books and horror comics. Later, introduce Barbara Cartland and the world of romance fiction.Get her a teaching job or two in authentic, one room Montana schools, ala Laura Ingels Wilder.Marry her off to a great guy, move her to a big city in Tornado Alley, then pop three daughters out of her in twenty-two months (one set of identical twins).Then, make her a jinx. Every great genre TV show she loves gets the ax: Beauty and the Beast, Dark Angel—and Buffy and Spike NEVER have a happy ending! She gets upset about no romance in the world and fires up to write her own stories with happy endings.Throw this all together into a small house in Wyoming, along with a small bouncy dog named Baxter and too many cats, shake constantly and pour it out onto a computer keyboard.There! You have me, Melisse Aires.
