Interview with Jacqueline Patricks, author of Dreams of the Queen

Dr. Cass Baros is haunted by dreams of an alien world…

…and will do anything to find it.

Relentlessly, she works her science team–along with her co-project leader and fiancé, Dr. Julian Saunders–in order to create the first lab-contained wormhole. Their boss, Dr. Janson, has a secret agenda. He adds a military contingent, which expands their six person team to twelve and increases tensions between the members. Egos will clash, agendas will cross, and their worlds will be undone as they travel through the wormhole.

The team, unable to return home and facing numerous dangers–conflicting desires, burning suns, cannibalistic monsters–is plunged into an adventure beyond their control. They struggle to unravel millennia old secrets in an alien world where nothing is what it seems. While Captain Lewis’ military leadership strengthens, Cass deals with her destiny as the brajj queen, and the alien, Jeamon, questions his lifelong beliefs and loyalties.

Cass and her team wrestle with her status as queen to the alien brajj, while being tossed between love and betrayal, genius and madness, and a jealousy frightening enough to cause the destruction  of worlds.

What genre is this?
Basically it’s a mash-up of science fiction/fantasy with touches of military adventure, horror, and erotic romance. Definitely adult, and great for men or women.

If you like Aliens (with some sex), you’ll love my book.

Have you written any other books that we should read next?
I’ve written several short stories, namely my paramedic ones. ‘Downgrade’ is perma-free on Amazon, Smashwords, and Barnes & Noble.

I’m also currently finishing the sequel to ‘Dreams of the Queen’–‘Nightmares of the Queen’ and the first book in another series, the fantasy ‘Fairytale Apocalypse- The Verge 1’. Both are due out early 2014.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
When I was 15, I read Barbara Hambly’s, ‘Darwath Trilogy’, and I decided I wanted to write amazing stories like her. The bug bit me hard because, initially, I went to college for my creative writing degree, joined the Army, then ended up a paramedic.

When I started writing, I spent quite a lot of my free time in Jr High and High school scribbling away on manuscripts, which are not hidden away in a cabinet. No one else has ever read them and no one else ever will. I’ve been published in non-fiction when I wrote medical article for an online company, and I also worked as a paid content provider for a website. I’m a member of the Alliance of Independent Authors and a Reviewer for the IndePENdents, who help maintain a basic level of quality control for Indie authors.

How easily do new storylines come to you? If we give you four random words – Man, Woman, Airport, Darkness – can you give us a brief storyline?
Darkness falls as a plane lands, the sun eclipsed by the moon. The tower has no flight plan for this private Lear jet, and the pilots does not answer their radio. The sleek jet taxis to a stop outside a gate. Crowds of anxious would-be passengers and airport employees gather at the windows, pressed against the glass. The jet’s door opens, and a man and woman disembark–gracefully, regally, as if they own the entire world. Perhaps they do because when their feet touch the tarmac the sky rains fire and the Earth quakes. People scream, fleeing from the shattering windows, but it is too late. As one, the couple points at the desperate crowd, and the End of Days truly begins.
