I have the immense honor of hosting a stop on Jenna McCormick's blog tour for her brand new release, No Limits. Please join me in giving her a warm and enthusiastic welcome!You write in a futuristic setting with a very original premise, can you tell us a little about the word and the different types living there?
No Limits starts out on Earth in New New York City at the dawn of the 22nd century. Technology has changed drastically, but people are pretty much the same. The biggest difference is that the advent of the personal health guard or, germ shield has virtually eliminated diseases and protection in no longer illegal. In fact, it’s very mainstream, ordering up a lover for the night along with your pizza. Casual sex is no longer the taboo it once was and my heroine is something of a throwback because at the start of the book she’s never engaged a male companion before.
What draws you to writing in the SFR genre? How did you get started there?
I’m one of those obnoxious people who needs a reasonable explanation for every plot twist. I don’t accept much on faith alone and science fiction, when done well gives me that credibility factor that I really need to enjoy a satisfying love story.
What would you say is the most challenging thing about the genre?
Finding readers willing to roll the dice! It makes no sense because romance readers are ravenous and science fiction readers are loyal yet the cross over between the two genres is small. But I have hope because well-established authors like Sherrilyn Kenyon and Suzanne Brockman are dipping into SFR, so I think the genre is growing!
Do you have a favorite SFR or SF series? (Movie/TV or book)
I’m old skool, Star Trek The Next Generation. The first Sci Fi Romance I ever loved was Peter David’s Imazdi, which explored the history of Will Riker and Deanna Troi. Also a big fan of Firefly and Farscape.
Are you a planner or a pantser or a little of both?
I’m a pantser who tries really hard to be a planner. LOL! But I have a hard time sticking to an outline and if I fight it the characters stop talking to me.
Your new release looks amazing, and I hope you'll tell us more about it below, what else are you working on now? Anything in progress or coming up you'd like to share?
I’m working on the sequel to No Limits, No Mercy, featuring Zan the Space Pirate (how can you not love a space pirate?) and Also the third installment of my post-apocalyptic novella trilogy, B Cubed Book Three: Borg.
No Limits ISBN 13 978-0758272850
All Genevieve Luzon wants is to be loved by one man, a seemingly impossible task in New-New York City at the start of the twenty second century. Sure, she can buy sex as easily as order a pizza on a Friday night, but finding a forever kind of love among her self-centered peers is no easy feat for the unemployed off-world vacation coordinator. When an old friend offers her the position of secret shopper to test out the male prostitutes, Gen can’t think of a good reason to refuse. Hell, if she can’t find Mr. Right, she might as well try on a sampler of Mr. Right Nows.
Yet the perks of her new position don’t compare to the strange attraction she has, not for one of the prostitutes, but a candle that seems to warm places of her she never knew existed. When a man appears out of the flame, Gen is sure she's found the one. Rhys is an empath, made a slave by the Illustra Corporation and he’s everything Gen could ever want. Except available. Because Rhys is on a mission. One that might claim his life. He must try to free his people, consequences be damned. Now, Gen must choose between turning her back on the only man she’s ever loved and the monumental task he has set for himself. Should she risk her life fighting a war hidden from polite society against those who wish to control us all?
Is love really worth fighting for?
