Romantic science fiction is one of the hottest new subgenres in both the romance and science fiction bookstore aisles and Linnea Sinclair serves up a doozie for readers of both genres who want high-stakes interstellar adventures infused with romance. Winner of the prestigious RITA®, Sapphire and PEARL awards, Linnea Sinclair's current releases with Bantam are GAMES OF COMMAND (PEARL Award winner and RITA finalist) and THE DOWN HOME ZOMBIE BLUES (PEARL Award Honorable Mention), and SHADES OF DARK, with HOPES FOLLY on the shelves in late February 2009. Sinclair, a former news reporter and retired private detective, is also a John W. Campbell award nominee. When not on duty with some intergalactic fleet—or playing human slave to her two spoiled felines—readers can find her perched on the third barstool from the left in her Intergalactic Bar and Grille at www.linneasinclair.com.
