The Alliance has toppled the tyrannical empire. It should be a time for celebration, but not for fighter pilot Captain Alisa Marchenko. After barely surviving a crash in the final battle for freedom, she's stranded on a dustball of a planet, billions of miles from her young daughter. She has no money or resources, and there are no transports heading to Perun, her former home and the last imperial stronghold.

But she has a plan.

Steal a dilapidated and malfunctioning freighter from a junkyard full of lawless savages. Slightly suicidal, but she believes she can do it. Her plan, however, does not account for the elite cyborg soldier squatting in the freighter, intending to use it for his own purposes. As an imperial soldier, he has no love for Alliance pilots. In fact, he's quite fond of killing them.

Alisa has more problems than she can count, but she can't let cyborgs, savages, or ancient malfunctioning ships stand in her way. If she does, she’ll never see her daughter again.

Fans of Firefly and Star Wars should enjoy this fun, fast-paced new series from USA Today best-selling author, Lindsay Buroker.

Interview with Stephanie Crosby @Stephwashere2

The Digital Ink Spot: Please tell the readers about yourself.
Stephanie Crosby: I write because I am. I am because I write. I want readers to read my stories even after I’m gone. I want to be remembered. What do I want to accomplish? Fun while I’m living. The joy of having the gift to teach and entertain readers. What I'm trying to accomplish as a writer is I wanted to reach out to people to see if I'm the only one with a bad dating life. My next YA novel is about a teen girl, but I don’t want to give away the premise. I haven’t seen it written before, and I don’t want someone else to grab it first. Normally I don’t worry about that sort of thing because we all tell stories differently, but this premise burns.

The Digital Ink Spot: What is your latest story about?
Stephanie Crosby: My story is about The Last Virgin Alive, a new adult romantic suspense novel about a girl's first year of college. Far from home at an out of state college, the family drama she tried to get away from still exists. While struggling with college life and her family's issues, she is also feeling rejected and out of place because she is still a virgin. Will she find her way or will her struggles catch up with her?  

The Digital Ink Spot: When did you start writing?

Stephanie Crosby: I started writing years ago. Then when my friends kept going on dates and I wasn't, I wrote 'The Last Virgin Alive' while watching TV instead of complaining about my dating life. I wanted to write my story to see if others can relate..

The Digital Ink Spot: Where can readers find you?
Stephanie Crosby: I enjoy FB because I like to connect on an emotional level with readers and friends. I enjoy listening to their fears, joys, and sorrows. It’s life. I want to be in the thick of it with them, cry with them and pray for them.
http://www.facebook.com/StephanieCwashere
Twitter feels like a bunch of people shouting about themselves. It isn’t about warm relationships. It feels cold to me. Nonetheless, you’ll find me here: Twitter: @Stephwashere2
I love to share writerly information at my blog: http://stephwashere2.blogspot.com/
My books are at Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20835585-the-last-virgin-alive

The Digital Ink Spot: What sets your stories apart from the rest?
Stephanie Crosby: My novels will take readers to new places where emotions run high. The Last Virgin Alive will take readers wondering what's next for a while. If you don’t know what that is then you should read the book. It’s a fun sport. Well, most of the time. This book will give readers insight as to why bad dates happen and what could come out of it.

Review: Outlander - Audiobook, CD, Unabridged by Diana Gabaldon

It was my boss at work that shared this gem of a story with me. It literally has everything in it. Swords battles, gun battles, stampedes, love and sex, history and science fiction and the occult. It is a jammed pack epic. Check out the synopsis:

In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone ruins and is instantly transported to a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans . in 1743. Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser? Davina Porter's lyrical narration will launch listeners into an exhilarating world of heroism, pulse-pounding adventure, and breathtaking romance as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love.

The reader, Davina Porter does an excellent job. Doesn't quite have a handle on men's voices but it isn't distracting. 
The announcement the CD has ended is always appreciated. It's 32.5 hours on 28 CDs. It moves quick and never dull. I hear there is a version of this on Showtime. I've not watched it yet. I have started the second part to this series and I am loving Dragonfly in Amber.
