Triangle

The Azellian Affairs #2

by Sara L. Daigle

Tangled in a complex relationship with two alien men from a different world, Tamara Carrington's college life on Earth is not going according to plan. Having awakened to special mental psychic abilities that came with the dramatic revelations about her past, including the discovery that she is biologically connected to the planet of Azelle, and unable to return to who she once thought she was, Tamara now faces some difficult choices. Although both men have become an integral part of her life, she realizes she cannot maintain this triangle. Yet, how can she let either man go?

As she considers how to reconcile the tensions between the three of them, life explodes onto a stage far beyond anything she could have imagined. With one surprise announcement, Tamara must face the ultimate in decisions, turning her world upside down. What will she do? And how will her decisions impact the young men in her life? Will it rip them apart? Or bring them closer together?

Woven throughout this multifaceted story are the questions posed when two different cultures with diverse perspectives about the concepts of relationship, responsibility, family, and love are brought together. By the end, no one is left unchanged.

About the author

I have been creating stories since I first forayed into the world of writing at age of eight. As an avid reader growing up in a small town without much access to a library, before the birth of the Internet, I devoured my mother’s extensive stack of science fiction and romance novels to keep my literary thirst quenched. When I ran out of my mother’s books, I began creating my own, writing plays for my friends to act out.

A passionate interest in astronomy, anthropology and linguistics, coupled with this early background in science fiction and romance, led me to merge the two fields and create a series of interlinked stories built around a fictional planet’s culture and its interaction with ours. And thus, Azelle was born. One of the pleasures of my life is playing with what could be, what might be and what if. Imagination and Infinite Possibilities…what else is possible? Will you play along with me and open yourself to what could be?

Reviews

[Matthew · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a story about practicing good manners when it counts, and the characters are young adults, alien, in love, or some combination therein. The subject matter and setting reminds me of Robert Heinlein's stories, but told with refreshingly different gender attitude. I used to wonder why stories like these were science fiction, since they were set on earth (Denver in this case) without much emphasis on science, technology, or action. However, love, as expressed by manners and not necessarily biology, is a universal truth worthy of exploration via speculative fiction. I look forward seeing the shape of the next story in this intergalactic, interspecies, intergenerational family saga.
