He's not only a space racer, but an uncle and a brother ~ Weekend Writing Warriors from RET10/1/2022
Hello everyone! Thank you for visiting me today for Weekend Writing Warriors! I'm sharing another snippet from RET, the third book in my Kaddim Brothers series, which is now available! Snippet setup: Last weekend's snippet showed Ilam trying to calm a drunk Ret, and Ret hinting at something, but never quite revealing his feelings. Sorry to disappoint you all, but Ret is very constipated when it comes to sharing his feelings. In today's snippet, we get to see a sober side of Ret. It's another 'family and friends' weekend. (If you've ready the previous two stories, you know how those go...) And he's showing some family members around. I reached up for my niece, Enif, helping her climb down from my jet. I couldn’t believe how much she knew about the maneuvers we’d already flown, along with the specifics about each of the jets our team used. At eight-star cycles, I only knew the names of the space racer teams. She’d come to visit, along with all of my relatives who didn’t live on Eurebly, for another “family and friends” weekend. Enif pouted. “But you’re my uncle. You’re supposed to give me insider information.” I chuckled as I set her on the ground. “You keep training hard, and when you’re old enough to fly, I’ll make sure you have a spot on the team. Your Uncle Genj should be ready to retire by then. And that way, you’ll have plenty of insider information.” **And a little more... She nodded but didn’t seem happy without the data she wanted. Vawn took his daughter’s hand as we walked over to join the rest of our family who had stayed in the main building. “What about you? Are you ever going to settle down and retire?” “Never. I’m going to die in my jet.” I honestly couldn’t imagine doing anything else. Like Enif, becoming a space racer had been my dream since I was young. I wouldn’t know how to work in any other profession. Vawn slapped my arm. “Don’t jinx yourself. I don’t want to witness that. Plus, you never know what the future holds for you.” RET Kaddim Brothers book three Ret Kaddim has the perfect life. He’s a space racer, the leader of the most popular team across the universe. Always planning, practicing, and racing, he has no time for a relationship, but finds plenty of willing partners who agree to his one-night-only rule. Because there is no way he wants to end up in a relationship and stuck with a family like his younger brothers. He’s having too much fun for that. Ilam Nairan always dreamed of becoming a space racer. And thanks to a chance encounter with a retired racer, he is now living that dream. Far away from the mated and pregnant omega life his parents wanted him to have, he loves everything about his life. It’s perfect. But one night can change everything. Especially when too much alcohol is involved. Can these two teammates survive the resulting media storm? What will it mean for their careers? The future of the team? And for them? Ret is a sweet with knotty heat mm non-shifter mpreg sci-fi romance featuring an alpha space racer and an omega space racer who both believe they’ll always be single, snarky but loveable teammates, lots of space racing, endearing family members, an adorable baby, and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you enjoy teammates realizing they have feelings for each other, and all the obstacles those bring, be sure to download Ret today! RET is now available!

Nice to see Ret interacting with his niece. The easy feel of this is a nice contrast to the tension of the last few snippets. 10/2/2022 01:31:57 pm
Yes, I tried to switched things up a bit before I bring back the tension. But, it's definitely coming back at the end of this chapter.

I agree with Vawn - don't jinx yourself, Ret. 10/2/2022 01:32:49 pm
Oh, Ret does get an HEA, but it's nothing like what he expects. 10/2/2022 10:41:48 am
Throw in a little person to get to the heart of any issue . . . and any tough character.

So glad to know female space racers are encouraged! She seems to fit right in with this racing family. And yes, Ret needs not to jinx himself! Tweeted 10/2/2022 01:36:06 pm
Oh yes! There are female space racers throughout the series, as well as in the spinoff stories. Just not on this team. And Enif is very dedicated to becoming a racer. 10/2/2022 05:05:43 pm
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this side of him! I think Vawn's words at the end of the snippet were pretty foretelling. :-) 10/2/2022 10:00:49 pm
Interesting! I didn't really realize that women were allowed to become racers. It adds a nice family element to the story. 10/3/2022 08:10:35 am
Yes, there are women racers mentioned in the series from the first book. But Enif definitely has what it takes to be a racer. Her interest was mentioned starting in the first book as well. 10/4/2022 10:53:37 pm
I enjoyed seeing the family dynamics in this snippet. Tweeted. Comments are closed.
