Stupid Questions with Lucy:
Children of Neptune Edition Featuring Karenna Colcroft


Friends, I think you're going to dig author Karenna Colcroft as much as I do.  Read on fer her delightful answers to my asinine questions!



1. Who would win in a war between cats and bears? 

Cats, no question. They're far sneakier than bears. 

2. Would you rather get a diagnosis of Benedict Cumberbatch or Engelbert Humperdinck?​ 

Benedict Cumberbatch. The hair rocks. 

3. If you could have any fantasy creature for a pet, what would it be and why? 

Probably a dragon, but only if it was one that could change size. I'd want a full-size dragon, but I live in a small apartment, so the dragon would have to shrink to fit. (And to hide from my landlord.) 

4. Are aliens among us? 

I've been accused of being an alien myself, and my older kid claims to be from Neptune, so I would have to say yes. 

4A. Since there are aliens among us, what would you name a romance about them? 

The Stars in Your Eyes. 

5. Speaking of horrible aliens, how would you help Justin Bieber off the planet? 

I'd rather not help Justin Bieber with anything. Can't we just have the aliens vaporize him or something? 

[Note from the Management: When I am the Intergalactic Queen of All--yes, yes we will have him vaporized. That's a campaign promise.]

6. If you were a superheroine or -hero, what would your special power be? 

My special power would absolutely have to be replicating myself so I have additional Karennas to take care of all the writing, promoting, housework, kids, etc.


 

STEPPING STONE NOT DOORMAT by Karenna Colcroft

Fifteen years ago in Los Angeles, a man named Charlie lost everything in his life to drug and burglary charges. Everything including his lover Navon, who was unable to accept Charlie’s actions. 

Nine years ago, after building a drag career that included TV appearances and international travel, Charlie left his entire life behind to escape his abusive boyfriend Mason, and started anew in Boston as club queen Solara Flare. Going by stage name and female pronouns, Solara has taken every step possible to prevent Mason–or anyone else from her former life–from finding her. 

Now, Navon has tracked Solara down in the wake of Mason’s death to return something Mason had kept, and to apologize for abandoning her after her arrest. Fifteen years hasn’t dulled their sexual attraction to each other, but the memories brought up by Navon’s appearance are almost more than Solara can stand. And no matter how much she wants to give Navon the second chance he asks for, Solara doesn’t know whether she can move beyond the past.
