A Slice of Cake With... S.G. Minae

This week I am delighted to have a slice of cake with author S.G. Minae.

S.G writes steamy love stories that just happen to involve aliens, supernatural elements, and romantic, far-away planets. Whether they take place on Earth or on another world, the emphasis is on realistic relationships and deep, fleshed-out characters. Because love is love, everywhere in the universe.

What kind of stories do you write?

I write steamy, romantic adventures that take place on Earth and on exotic planets far, far away. My new series is fun, light, and sweet (but still steamy), while the first series has more angst and drama as the characters evaluate their place in the universe (literally).

Can you describe your writing why?

I’ve always loved to write, but found little time for it. Then I started dreaming about these characters and their world, and they wouldn’t go away. They became friends in my dreams and I simply HAD to write their story. And once I got started, I couldn’t stop! Now I can’t wait to share all the ideas I have for romance and adventure in this universe.

Share with us your favourite passage from the book you enjoyed writing the most

From Beauty In The Beast:

“Her body sank into the intergalactic shuttle’s oversized chair of supple cream-colored leather and she laid her furry head on the fluffy pillow. She raised the feet of her recliner and snuggled into a soft blanket. Kicking off her shoes, Kaleeah rotated her ankles to release the tension from aching paws, extending and retracting sharp claws. She stretched her hands as well, looking at the short white fur on her palms, then flipping them to the slightly longer orange fur with black stripes on the back. Her fingers reflexively moved up to stroke her whiskers, something that always helped her relax.

“Kaleeah gazed at Casea, her blond curls brushing against her slight shoulders, her blue eyes sparkling as she smiled and laughed with her friends. Casea had been very sweet to Kaleeah and sometimes tried to include her, but her friends were obviously uncomfortable around her. She wished she was better at small talk, at being social, but would she even be welcomed if she tried?”

Fantasy Planet is a new series that I’m very excited about! Each book follows the guests of a mysterious resort run by three captivating, magical hosts. 

In Episode 1: The Beauty In The Beast, Kaleeah is a lesbian humanoid tigress who dreams that her pretty human crush will see past her beastly exterior to the beautiful heart within. Meanwhile Marni, who’s running from an abusive ex, falls in love with her sexercise instructor! The two stories seem unrelated, but through some unexpected twists, their fates become intertwined.

In Episode 2: Prince Charming, the resort creates a miniature medieval town to host a Royal Summit. Working-class reporter Skye’s dreams come true when she’s assigned to cover the summit, and she’s even invited to the ball! But as her relationship with the prince deepens, she finds herself thinking about Justin, the activist she met on the shuttle. Will she have to choose between becoming the most powerful woman on the planet…and true love?
