Warren Cougar has always been passionate about outer space and the beings that supposedly live far beyond the realm of his knowledge. He works for an organization that deals with the possibility of the otherworldly, after all.
And then an alien by the name of Orthrive’poliea crashes into the lake near Warren’s cabin. Everything he’s dreamed about has become real, and now faces the likelihood of becoming a lab experiment at the grotesque hands of ETHOS.
Driven by his virtues and an instant powerful, enigmatic affinity for Thrive, Warren puts his life at risk to separate himself from ETHOS—to keep Thrive from falling into their clutches. It’s the right thing to do.
But when the journey toward Thrive’s freedom is further endangered by a looming threat far out of either of their control, the fight for survival doubles, and the chances of success fall sharply away. Whatever the right thing happens to be, it begins to look like the one thing that would break Warren’s heart the most.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I started writing it for NaNoWriMo '16, and the idea came to me via a sort of desperation for an epic science fiction adventure where the male alien and the male human fall in love. The idea started as a trilogy, but after some drafting of the third book, I realized it would be better told in a ten-part saga over two arcs. It gave me the opportunity to explore the love between the main characters, and the universe I'd introduced in the first installment.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Orthrive'poliea (Thrive) is a remnant of an earlier idea I had for a space military story that didn't quite pan out. I love characters who are more powerful than even they realize. Warren was born from the fact that I also love "regular guy" characters who are thrust into wild adventures alongside said super powerful characters, somewhat along the lines of the Doctor and their companions in Doctor Who.
