Sandra Harris | Do you judge a person by their skin?
My hero, General Eugen Mhartak, doesn't. The heroine, Sandrea Fairbairn, is a
human, a species he's never encountered before. An alien. Her pale, supple skin
is in stark contrast to his, yet he finds her exotic appearance an enchantment
he can't put aside. That she has lived through horrors at the hands of his
enemy, with only the vulnerability of her limited stature for protection
enhances his admiration of her. Her apparent willingness to aid another being in
trouble, one she had no sure way of communicating with, inspires an attraction
in him that continues to grow.
And once he touches her, there is no going back. He knows he will never quench
the need to discover the depths of this courageous woman. Yet how do you court
an alien while keeping her safe from a ruthless enemy?
Sandrea is no racist, and she discovers she's no speciist (species-ist?) either.
The strength and inherent masculinity in Eugen's well-muscled form call to every
feminine particle in her. His smooth, pliant yet resilient skin is like the
finest grain leather highlighting the cut definition of his big body. But it's
the person Eugen Mhartak is that appeals to her. Honorable, thoughtful,
strong-willed—mind you his domineering attitude with regard to her good
health ticks off her independent streak. The feel of his skin below her fingers,
her lips, sparks pleasure of unimagined depth. Her instinctive trust of him
leads to a continual, and embarrassing, lack of libido control.
So how do you demolish cross-cultural differences and tell an alien you'd like
to get up close and personal with him?

ALIEN, MINE
THE BLUTHEN HAVE ONE CONSUMING PASSION: THEMSELVES.
IN THEIR EXPANSION ACROSS THE GALAXY, THEY WILL GO TO ANY LENGTHS TO DOMINATE
SPECIES THEY ENCOUNTER.
Torn from modern day Earth and stranded on the far side of the Galaxy, Sandrea
Fairbairn must use every particle of courage she possesses to adjust to her new
life and live for tomorrow/a new day.
Eugen Mhartak, a general in the Tri-Race Alliance Army, refuses to bow to the
merciless Bluthen. Haunted by the loss of far too many innocent lives he has
vowed to drive the ruthless invaders from Alliance space.
The strength and valour of Eugen Mhartak attracts Sandrea as no man ever has,
but she struggles to read the enigmatic generalβs heart. Determined to help him
triumph over the Bluthen she uncovers a diabolical plot against the Alliance.
Drawn by the courage and exotic beauty of Sandrea, Mhartak battles to overcome
the barriers of cross-cultural differences that separate them and claim her
ardent interest. He must conquer his deepest fears to be the man she needs. When
his principles are betrayed by his own government and he is faced with the
impossible prospect of taking Sandreaβs life in order to save his home planet,
Mhartak desperately searches for a way to keep safe both his world and the
magnificent woman who has stolen his heart.

Born in the far north of Australia, yearly cyclones, floods and being cut off
from civilization for weeks at a time were the norm. An outrageous imagination
helped occupy Sandraβs mind.
An abiding interest in astronomy and a deep-seated need to always see the
good guys win naturally influences her writing. Not satisfied with the amount of
romance in science fiction novels she set out to redress the balance.
She currently lives in sunny South East Queensland, Australia, with her husband
and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who doesnβt seem to realize she comes from
royalty and should act in a more appropriate manner.

Cross-cultural differences are easy to demolish. Tolerance for these difference and a realization that all people are interesting for the way they celebrate life. Now, another species is a different matter. I guess that I will have to read your book to find out.

I have never read a romance with another species. Sounds interesting.

You should never judge people by their skin. Your book has a excellent summary.
(Kimberly Woodall 4:55pm July 25, 2013)
Definitely not!! This is no way to judge a person
(Shirley Younger 5:44pm July 25, 2013)
I definitely don't! It's so wrong to base your beliefs of someone on their
appearance. Thanks for writing this Sandra!

No, I do not judge a person by their skin. God made all of
us with different colors and races and religions. We are all
beautiful in God's eyes like a rainbow bouquet of flowers.
God is the Judge of the universe of us all and loves us all
the same. He wants us to love one another and do unto others
as we would want them to do unto us. Congrats on your new
book: ALIEN, MINE. It sounds fascinating and I would love to
win it and read it this summer. Thank You very much. Cecilia

You need to spend time with a person of a different culture to help
understand each other and get past each others differences. I know
someone who moved from the east coast to the Midwest and had trouble
fitting in with the culture.

The only part of someone's skin that I judge is the amount of filth and smell on it... and even then I consider the person's current situation and the circumstantial issues that have affected how and why they've reached the state they're in. I have no sympathy for someone who simply chooses not to be clean, but a world of patience for someone who is unclean because of lack of ability to change their circumstances. Judge each person on a case by case basis, and only after finding out exactly what those issues and circumstances are. :)

I usually don't read Alien romance novels, but this sounds so good I definitely want to read it! As far as judging other people, I always ask "Why would you do that? Especially when you don't want to be judged yourself?" That 5-second snap judgment may be catching someone at their worst possible time of day/week/month/life! The only way to get to know someone is to sit back, watch, and listen; and ask questions.

I am so excited that more authors are embracing the sci- fi aspect in their
romances and doing cross species romances. It adds such a unique and
intriguing twist to stories and the tension between cultures and the
realization that they aren't so different makes for great stories.
(Stephanie Fredrick 11:54pm July 25, 2013)
I don't people by their skin. I think it is more by experience of interacting with other people. When you get burn, the tendency to trust is not as open anymore.
