Do you remember Evie from Her Alien Exchange?

Hi , welcome back to my author newsletter with alien peens, monsters, magic, and the readers who love them!

Do you remember Evie from Her Alien Exchange, that freebie you got for joining this newsletter with me?

Violet is our FMC who used to work in the tech industry before the rise of AI, and alien technology, who became a bartender to get by. She like a hint of danger in her romance but she doesn't like the shame associated with what makes her happy and she joins the alien exchange program, but she should have read her contract a little more closely as she signed a contract to be a starship-ordered bride for her host that could cost her the perfect mate in her escort, Commander Roe-el.

Evie is our introverted and adorably shy future FMC of Her Alien Delegate that Violet helps protect in Her Alien Exchange and they become super close besties, but Evie is holding a secret.

She was never on the same transport ship as Violet, she was already on Trillume after a failed mating contract where her trill husband sold her contract at the blue district to anyone that would have her. Scared and betrayed, Evie has some history before she even meets Violet.

And guess what?!! I've decided to give Evie her own time to shine! Hope you're excited!

A MATE FOR SALE: EVIE

“She’s a viperous demon that prefers the company of books over preparing a meal, but what she lacks for in culinary skills, she makes up for in apt listening. She is not bad on the eyes, and I have found humans require little to maintain,” my alien husband announced to the bazaar that he had said we were going to because he had something "special" planned for me.

When I joined the alien exchange for a mate match, I didn’t have too much in the way of expectations. It was guaranteed I would be treated well no matter which alien selected me, and divorces weren’t a thing on Trillume. If we didn’t match well, I was told that another mate could be selected, or I could be returned to Earth. There were plenty of other exchange opportunities for humans, we were one of the few species part of the galaxy that defended ourselves with tools instead of having any biological advantages like claws, sharp fangs, poison, or thick hides. We had none of them, and this apparently made us commodities with other aliens because we were not a threat. Some thought us similar to pets, and others liked feeling superior with their scales, and the fact that they could subdue most species with a touch of their skin.

“What?” I huffed under my breath with disbelief at what I was hearing. I was pretty sure I heard him say I was a demon for not joining him to make food. He made it seem like he enjoyed cooking. Plus, he would have been aware with my file that I had no skills in that area, let alone with new food sources from this planet. Was he irritated that I didn’t come to the kitchen to cook with him?

Maybe he wanted to share his love of food and was going to teach me things, but that was not how it came across.

Now, what? He was calling me a demon because I decided to stay in the library to wait for him?

I was looking up any texts on Trillume culture and to try to learn more about it, but now we were here at some kind of auction house while he paraded me around leering aliens. He kept his hood over his head to hide his features, yet his claws waved about towards the crowd and back towards me.

We had hardly been married for more than a week, or really seven sleeps because Earth time wasn't quite the same. Everything was finalized during my trip to Trillume, and I wasn’t exactly sure what was happening until my translator was picking up on bidding amounts after my husband’s list of pros and cons of having me around, after only knowing me for a short time.

The price increased pass the amount of the allowance I was being granted for an entire year of joining the mating program. I didn’t have much time left to be considered a prime candidate, as my file was labeled geriatric, and I had a history of miscarriages. Guess that’s what I was, being in my thirties now, and with no children to prove I wasn’t sterile. I wasn’t about to pop out a kid just to prove to some file that I wasn’t broken, but I wouldn't lie that starting a family was the deciding factor to join, it didn't hurt that they would pay for all the debts I'd gained trying to start my own family with human treatments alone.

Now that I was part of the exchange program, I had access to alien technology that would prolong my life and have a family. Honestly, I was probably younger than a teenager on Earth in terms of viable lifespan with all the alien inoculations I’ve had to travel in space.

Before I could have a conversation with my husband, Ter-ak, a female with bright pink hair and gems along her arms placed the highest bid. She waved her hand, and I could hear Ter-ak behind me confirming her credits cleared verification scans. I spun around to glare at him, but he had already disappeared into the crowd and the tall pink woman was so fast that I didn’t even see her stab me with some kind of injection.

I squeaked, unable to say a word. That’s how I’ve always been, the wallflower in the back of the room observing. Even with Ter-ak, I was trying to show him I’d learn to adapt and get to know him by reading up on his culture, since I was too shy to ask him directly. I figured I’d have some time to get comfortable and then show him with my actions but never got the chance.

This was a sneak peek at Her Alien Delegate: Evie's story!

This story will be available May 2025, given away free to anyone who visits my booth at events, helps support the universe by grabbing Her Alien Exchange's paperback coming to Amazon on May 6th 2025, or to anyone who can answer the question of what Pulsunne means in Cial?

If you're part of my ARC team and are curious as to when I'll be giving this book out to you, I'm still writing the book, and will be sending out an email to the team once I've submitted the book to my editor, Tracy. This will be a novella, meant to be read in under 3 hours for a read in a one sitting escape. I'm not ruling out extending the story in the future, considering this story is more of a bonus love story and Evie's story could extend to her time on AsunGor after Violet's mating with Commander Roe-el.

All of my books are standalone alien romances, each a separate complete romance, read in any order, and with their interconnected plots, each book layers and you find out more about the world the more you read. Have questions from one book? Read another one, and you're sure to find more answers, and perhaps more questions as the universe unravels. That's what I love about sci-fi adventures set in the same universe, there's so much room to play!
