Wednesday Whine and Wine with Kayelle Allen

Visit Another World with Kayelle Allen

Have you ever wanted to live on another world? I have. When I was a kid, I would look up at the stars and imagine what it would be like. Would there be less gravity so I could jump higher? Would I be able to run faster there? Children don’t realize life is relative — and that life would seem “normal” there no matter how different it was from life here. But that didn’t stop me from creating fantasy worlds that I could visit in my books.

When I started writing Science Fiction Romance, I needed planets for my characters. Where were they born? What was it like there? This was my strong suit. After all, I’d been thinking about it all my life! I decided to create a “tour” of the Tarthian Empire on my website, and have art and information about each of the planets. This month, Coffee Time Romance designated the tour on my site as one of its elite spots — one of the top twelve for the year. So, when asked to share something with the readers here, I decided the Tarthian Tour Company would be the way to go.

Begin a tour of your own by clicking here: Tarthian Tour Company

The Tarthian Tour Company slogan is “Where do you want to wake up tomorrow?” They can take you to any of over twenty planets or drop you off on side trips to visit the Conqueror’s palace or see the Droid Discovery Force in action. There’s an interactive star map where you can click the name of a world to visit its page. From each world’s page, you may click the tour logo to return the “company’s home page” or click the list on each page to visit any other planet in the empire.

Clicking the pictures on the tour will open them full-sized, and some are amazing to see. When my son was in art college, I forced coerced begged he volunteered to help me create them.

Worlds mentioned in my books are noted, along with the book’s title, links to its excerpt page, and to its Kindle page. I also provide a link to wallpaper for the ones available in that format. Here’s a tiny sampling of three planets so you can see what kind of things you’ll find.

 

Ezraki

Inhabitants are called Chiasmii. They are, without exception, blond and fair-skinned. Truly androgynous, they are mother to one child and father to the next, favoring first one gender and then the other, occurring in two phases named like their moons, San and Pter.

 

 

 

Tyris

Tyran technology has long harnessed anti-gravity. However, recent studies have hinted that its use may be affecting their sun. In the last fifteen years, it has changed from a benevolent provider of heat and light to an unpredictable tyrant.

 

 

 

Trien

The FIST (Facility for Imperial Ships and Transports) is a group of stations orbiting Trien, the nearest planet to the capitol of the empire, Tarth. Ships are modular in construction to save time when being built and during repairs. In wartime, a damaged section of a ship can be jettisoned. WARNING: do not click on the image of the FIST on my website. Doing so alerts the Praetorian Guard and they might mistake you for a rebel spy. ;)

 

While you’re hanging out on the tour, or perusing the excerpt pages, be on the lookout for little icons that seem out of place. Choosing to click them might transport you to a hidden rebel base, or land you in the custody of the Praetorian. Whatever you decide, I hope you’ll visit my site, where Romance Lives Forever.

Her heroes and heroines include immortal role-playing gamers, warriors who purr, and agents who find the unfindable–or hide it forever.

    Growing up I was always in my own little world. I was a constant daydreamer, and at night I created my own dreams.

    Great post! Even though I’m not the world’s biggest sci-fi buff, I *love* WULF: TALES OF THE CHOSEN…

    • Thank you, Trix! I’m glad to hear that. What began in Wulf continues throughout a series of books and on into another one. I plan to develop the Tarthian Empire stories for some time. I’m also writing in other venues as well, and have a contemporary MM coming out in Nov from Torquere, an anthology called 50 Gays of Shade, edited by Kiernan Kelly.
