I love writing for the 1Night Stand series, as there’s an infinite number of stories to be told, all while following the stated guidelines. They’re addictive! So I’m thrilled to announce I signed a contract for my next contribution, Flight of the Dragon Queen (unofficial subtitle: Thea Plays Too Many Video Games). Here, have a blurb:
For his
entire life, Caleb has always been more comfortable surrounded by books and
games than other people. He contacts Madame Eve when 1Night Stand is
recommended to him, but is too shy to actually meet any of the women she finds
for him. Together, they reach a workable solution: a simulated dating
experience in a setting reminiscent of his favorite stories.

experience in a setting reminiscent of his favorite stories.
After
following Madame Eve’s instructions, Caleb finds himself in a vivid fantasy
world, complete with a damsel in distress who needs rescuing. His objective is
clear, but he must find a way around the many obstacles standing between him
and Alizeira, the mysterious woman imprisoned in an underground cell. Familiar
tropes and a colorful cast of characters enhance—or impede—his journey, from a
short-tempered guard captain (and his equally temperamental horse) to a
one-eyed “herbalist” who expresses annoyance whenever anyone calls her a witch.

While
working on his plans to save her, Caleb spends time getting to know Alizeira
beyond her role as prisoner, and a mutual attraction develops between them. He
is unsure whether she’s a real person playing a part like him, or if she’s
simply one piece of the elaborate simulation that’s been programmed for his
date. Setting her free is the first step to discovering the truth, but how many
secrets is Alizeira hiding?
