Spotlight on Indie Romance: 2018 Round-up.

EG Manetti

It has been a great year for reading. So many wonderful romances in all sub-genres produced by Indie authors. For the last post of 2018, my selected favorites.

First up, my personal favorite: Science Fiction Romance (SFR). SFR comes in many flavors; military, settlers, cyborgs, alien-heroes, alien-villians, even alien-shifters. Carol Van Natta‘s Central Galactic Concordance series falls mostly into the military trope, but adds in a bit of cyborg, and in Pet Trade: A Central Galactic Concordance Novella, some settler-romance and a wonderful menagerie of genetically engineered pets. An injured veterinarian and a cyborg with unusual pets must join forces to save their town. It’s a deadly adventure—with pets—in the fringes of space.

In honor of Halloween and all things that go bump in the night, here is a trio of indie published urban fantasy and paranormal romance authored by my friends Marie JohnstonRachel Chanticleer, and Veronica Del Rosa.

Another wonderful aspect of the indie revolution; free and cheap e-books.  The one’s in this trio range  from $0.0 to $3.99 (Less than a Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte).


Marie Johnston  pens steamy paranormal romance with a wicked bite because as all paranormal lovers know, a good vampire story never…
