When can we expect the sequel, “Starhugged”? The first edition of “StarKist” featured Charlie the Tuna on the cover, sales were slow. The book and the warning are quite tame compared to what’s out there today. The warning is still amazing! The temptation of writing something so strange to get an epic warning is nearly irresistible now! It good to hear there was no eating of internal organs… or. Sorry, I meant to add the Amazon UK link, too. Sorry I’m so late responding to this, but I just now ran across it. Here’s the link if you’d like to check it out. It’s a full-length novel at 80k and reasonably priced at $4.24.

Starkissed is available in the Kindle store at Amazon. The “Warning” on the back cover is something Samhain does, kind of like the Disclaimers at the end of Xena episodes. Not sure how he got credited with the current cover. Trace Edward Zaber (his real name, as far as I know) was the cover artist for a previous edition when it was with Amber Quill Press, another e-pub. Yes, the woman doesn’t look quite lifelike, but Poser has its limitations.) Real aliens don’t like to model… 😛 (She did an excellent job with the hero. Since the hero is an alien, I believe she did use Poser. Starkissed (star-kissed, not stark-issed) is not self-published. There’s a plot, it’s very romantic, and there are a couple of love scenes but they don’t really drive the story. Nope, no eating of internal organs before, during, or after mating. Thanks, SeriesFive, to the links to TEZ’s other ‘artwork’. It’s a Final Fantasy girl mating with a random Star Trek extra. …found the cover artist: Trace Edward Zaber (most likely a pseudonym) and Randy Quaid having a baby in Enemy Mine (1985). This is almost as hot as Louis Gossett Jr. Who needs a talented artist when Poser and Photoshop Elements are so cheap? And as an illustrator, this makes me sad. So is the “I just installed Photoshop!” school of cover design. Might this be at least partly because the cover here is a photograph of the printed version? On a related note, the cover quality–interms of resolution and color saturation–looks much better on the website. Is this self-published? I found a website saying it is “available” from Samhain Publishing (cool name btw!) but I am not sure if they are the ones who actually published it. I hope it’s not a new trend in cover art.

Wow, I think this may be the first example of obvious CG we’ve seen on this site. He appears to have had spherical shoulder-pads implanted under his skin.ĭoes it seriously say that on the back cover? Golly, talk about PWP… “So then after all that and we finally make… love… I eat all your internal organs and wear your skin as a sign of my power.
