BEYOND - Young Adult Science Fiction Romance

[MaMiller]

Hello all!

I would love to share my new YA romance, BEYOND, now available on Smashwords for $2.99.



"Maureen A. Miller's space-based adventure is out of this world! Non-stop action and romance. BEYOND will leave you starstruck and wanting more!" -- Roxanne St. Claire NY Times Bestselling Author

It is the day after Aimee Patterson’s high school graduation. College beckons, as does her dream of becoming an engineer. On an early evening walk, her cocker spaniel charges into the woods on the other side of the pond. Aimee trails after him, and in the stillness of that forest the unthinkable happens. She becomes paralyzed and watches in horror as her hands vanish before her eyes.

Waking to the sound of voices, Aimee realizes that she has been kidnapped. Little does she know how far away from home she is, though. In an attempt to flee her captors, she launches from their confines only to freeze at the view outside the window. The sky is black and filled with stars, and in the distance is a familiar blue globe. The planet Earth.

A group of humans forced to flee their planet after an epidemic destroyed their civilization now travel the galaxies in search of an antidote. Retrieving samples of plant life from every solar system, on this occasion Aimee was accidentally seized instead.

Aimee must learn to avoid the advances of an awkward young scientist who seems intent on dissecting her, as her own fascination turns to the exotic young warrior, Zak. Having fallen in love with Zak, she is now torn with the decision to return to Earth or live beyond the stars.

Hello all, I have an excerpt from BEYOND to share with you. This is a young adult, science-fiction romance.


At first she saw nothing. The darkness was a void barely penetrated by the waning sunlight at her back. Yet, there was something. A light. A reflection. Something. A hum. Definitely a hum. Not the wind. Not a motor. It sounded like the oscillating fan in her bedroom window.

Aimee squinted. She swore for a moment that they weren’t even trees overhead and that it was the massive underbelly of a giant vessel. A spaceship parked atop the forest, obliterating any sunlight. She rolled her eyes. Space ships and aliens lurking beyond the Patterson property.

Ziggy took off back towards the pond like a herd of rabid Rottweilers were chasing him, and she turned to follow.

At least she’d meant to turn. She thought for a moment that her muscles were locked in spasm from the two laps around the track during gym today, but her hands and arms were paralyzed. She tried to clench her fingers into a fist and could feel perspiration bead on her forehead from the effort. She was motionless.

What the heck?

Even her lips could not move to speak those three words.

Light materialized around her as if someone had switched on a spotlight from above. She tried to squint against the vivid assault, but even her eyelids were frozen in place. Instead, all she could do was watch as the light grew brighter, bright enough that she could see through her hands. That freaked her out.

The hum intensified and she began to feel lightheaded. One lurch of her stomach and she felt nothing at all.

Here is a brief excerpt from this YA Science Fiction book that NY Times Bestselling author, Roxanne St. Claire says, "Will leave you starstruck!"

This cocoon had to be the closest thing to Hell that she could imagine. It severed all noise—all light—all contact with the outside world. In here the only sound was that of her ragged breath. There was no warning of impact, although she knew from Zak’s last words that it was imminent. She splayed her hands on the inside of the shell to gauge the size of the chamber. It was very tight with little room for her to bounce around if they hit anything. She guessed that was the idea, but eggshells were made to be broken, and slamming into a 100-story skyscraper at the speed of light would likely do the deed.

“Zak?” she shouted.

If he answered, she couldn’t hear it. The silence, the unknown, it began to eat at her. Her palms slammed on the inner shell, seeking the release mechanism. She had to get out. She had to—
