message 2: by Hannah (new)

Hannah Marae Obviously, my first question is: If you were a space courtesan what would your "specialty" be?


Sallie Henshaw | 10 comments Also, do you/did you solve the mystery before the characters? I never can, though I often pick up on the clues that are mentioned.

P.S. Hannah's question is excellent.


Meghan | 16 comments If you were the Captain, would you utilize your shipmates for sexytimes?


Keith (dredchupacabra) | 19 comments Great question Hannah, I second it.

Oh please. Washing feet, of course.

Cheryl | 15 comments How do you feel about the corporate sponsored prostitution thing?

Also, why does it keep sounding like the courtesans have a monopoly on doing it? There are ladies on the mining base too, seems like there'd be plenty of old-fashioned promiscuity too.

I do appreciate the courtesans being badass smarty pantses in addition to other skills. Even if they are annoying and prissy in the process...


Emily (sensibleperson) I can't wrap my head around sex in zero - g. Wouldn't the force of thrust propel the two participants in opposite directions, assuming they aren't somehow strapped to each other?

Yes, but the corporation that runs those ships would know that, and that's why they make you pay extra for gravity, even half-g. But when you consider some of the 'specialties' those are probably perfected for zero-g.

Wasn't there something in the first-ish part of the book about the women being segregated from the men?

Jessica (j-boo) | 182 comments If turning gravity on for an occasional shower is a luxury one would have to tap into their savings to afford, how do you imagine things go down when someone on the ship has to take a dump?

(Ha ha, go down - a little spaceship brothel AND gravity for pooping humor there)

Serendi You may not have been serious about the space dump, but here's a link:

and there are videos of astronauts on the International Space Station explaining the process on Youtube.

Ah, so our courtesans and captain would strap on fecal bags and use "finger cots" to help "move things along"...sexy! ;)


Meghan | 51 comments What did you think of the book's portrayal of trauma. Did you think it was beneficial to, or unnecessary for, the plot?

TheDeletress (AvidReader) (a_nerd_girls_thoughts) | 10 comments What did you think of the fact that there were multiple bad guys in the story?
Three to my count, though I don't want to give spoilers. I enjoyed there being different types of bad guys as it was realistic.

Interesting question. While probably tempting, also has the possibility of throwing off the power structure

lol, listen to "A Reconsideration (Zero-G Sex)" by Kristoph Klover.

message 20: by Serendi (new)

Serendi Read a novel years ago where one partner kept a shirt on, unbuttoned, and the other held the shirt's edges with both hands, holding them together.

Jeff Lambert | 29 comments What were they mining? That's really all I want to know.


message 22: by Jeff (new) - rated it 3 stars

Jeff Lambert | 29 comments If you got handed the free token to visit with one of the courtesans (not knowing a lot of the behind the scenes stuff going on on that ship), who would it have been? Why? And what non-sex thing would you have done?


Matthew Kitson | 68 comments Broader question:

Do you ever get irritated in a murder mystery when youve come up with the perfect solution in your head, only to have it dashed?

Happened twice already for me, lol.


Laura (theloudlady) | 180 comments How do you shave in zero gravity? Could it be your special ability that you taught miners?

I enjoy Hannah's question. Jeff's question is spot on what were they mining? Something that creates gravity?

first off, this book was a surprising good read. it promised so much and yet could have been so much more. yes, it reminds us of a certain show which only lasted one season and may have been taken off for a lack of sex positive views. do you consider yourself sex positive/sex negative?
also,the sexy times should have left the reader soaking. just based on this term 'space brothel'.
so, all in all, good read, after the next(regency)pick needs to be total smut. total!
oh, and thank you @feliciaday for making this book so hard to find. popped my kindle+cellphone cherry. bye @feliciaday ..L0L ;)

Sheryl Nantus I just want to thank everyone who read the book and, of course, the great ladies of the VFBC for picking it!

As noted, there is a second book in the series with Sean as the main character! In the Void In the Void (Tales from the Edge, #2) by Sheryl Nantus And a free short story with Jenny and Sam! Interlude 1.1 Interlude 1.1 (Tales from the Edge) by Sheryl Nantus

For those of you who would like to read of my more recent work, I have TWO menage novels coming out from MacMillan in less than two weeks! Betting on Both Betting on Both by Sheryl Nantus and Game On Game On by Sheryl Nantus . If you'd like a Steamy September, here's a good start!

BTW - hope you enjoy Tessa Dare and Courtney Milan! Tessa's "Spindle Cove" series is a fantastic read and both authors do strong, powerful women who I can't wait to read about again and again!

Thanks again, everyone!
