OUT NOW! Programming by Shelly Greene

Simone, a female-identifying android, is part of a scientific team sent ahead of the first colony to return to Earth, which is finally habitable again after centuries of radiation recovery. She mostly finds her human crewmates irritating, and the most irritating by far is Dr. Lucy Zhong, who slowly becomes Simone’s best friend, more important to her than anyone else has ever been.

When Lucy is fatally injured, she kisses Simone during her last moments of consciousness. Only then does Simone realize they may be more than friends. To save Lucy, Simone places her in the last functioning cryo-pod, even though this means sacrificing another crewmember. Simone’s programming should not permit that kind of choice, but if this is a malfunction, Simone doesn’t care as long as it saves Lucy.

When the colony ship arrives, Lucy is revived, and discovers it’s her turn to play rescuer, as Simone has been slated for deactivation. Does the android’s “malfunction” mean she returns Lucy’s feelings? If Lucy can’t save her beloved Simone, she’ll never find out.

Snowed In: Suhaib and Elijah by Michael P. Thomas is now available!

Suhaib isn’t a big believer in barriers. Whether he’s skinny-dipping on the clock at his hotel job or spilling uncensored details of his life story just to make conversation, he is who he is and he doesn’t care who knows it.

Elijah plays his hand a little closer to the vest, and Suhaib can’t get his head around Elijah’s reckless plan to drive through the worst blizzard to hit Oklahoma since statehood just to meet his sister’s new baby.

When the storm that brought them together picks up and keeps them together, key elements of Elijah’s life story are forced to the fore, and Suhaib learns a good man is more than the sum of his parts … and there are more roads to uncle-hood than he ever considered.

Married Ones by Matthew J. Metzger is now available!

Blurb:

It’s the summer break, and for the first time in his life, Mike would rather stay in the bloody classroom.

It’s wedding season, and Mike is doomed to spend all summer sipping cheap champagne and pretending he likes tiny portions of posh food. From the passive-aggressive torment of Mike’s mother-in-law to the insulting incredulity of his colleagues over what his mysterious husband actually looks like, Mike would voluntarily teach sex education to fourteen-year-olds for the rest of his life if it would only get him out of one more wedding. Even his husband in a kilt isn’t going to save this one.

But there’s nothing like watching someone else get hitched to remind him of where he’s come from … and where he’s determined to go from here.
