GIRL GONE NOVA Contest

Author Pauline B. Jones (THE KEY) wrote her second science fiction romance, GIRL GONE NOVA (April 2010). Not only that, but she has a forthcoming steampunk romance novella as well!

Read on for more information about GIRL GONE NOVA...and the contests!

About the story:

"Doc--Delilah Oliver Clementyne’s—orders are simple: do the impossible and do it fast. A genius/bad ass, she does the impossible on a regular basis. But this time the impossible is complicated by an imminent war between the Earth expedition to the Garradian Galaxy and the Gadi, an encounter with some wife-hunting aliens, and not one but two bands of time travelers.

She could handle all that, but her biggest challenge—and the reason the impossible might be not possible this time—is that she’s fallen in love.

Wrong time, wrong man, wrong everything. So why does it feel so right?"
