Description

KEYNOTE Stranded on a desert island, a prince must find a way to woo the woman he loves...without giving away his true identity.

Summary

Insufficient Mating Material is not about sexual shortcomings. It's "Survivorman" with sex. At the dramatic climax of FORCED MATE, the high-handed Prince Tarrant-Arragon decreed that his scandalous, fashionista sister (the one who made a film of herself having sex with an unsuitable and... read more (warning: may contain spoilers)

Cast of Characters/Important People

  • Djetth, aka Prince Djetthro-Jason, aka JJ, aka Commander Jason (Hero): Add a description of this character.
  • PRINCESS MARTIA-DJULIA aka MARSH (heroine)
  • ’RHETT, aka Prince Djarrhett (half brother of Djetth)
  • TARRANT-ARRAGON 
(The Terror of the Dodecahedrons): Race: Great Djinn
 Status: god-Prince (Tiger Prince, Lord Prosecutor, First War-star Leader, Dominator)
 Home: Ark Imperial, Tigron Empire’s flagship “war-star”
 Earth equivalent dates: born 1956 Full name: Tarrant-Arragon Djustin Djohn Alexander Thor Djinnmagister Thoroughly at home in a world as dangerous and as full of intrigue and treachery as any European Renaissance-era Court, The Crown Prince Tarrant-Arragon thrives on enigma and equivocation. “You talk like a lawyer. Your promises are full of loopholes,” his adored Consort accuses him, not knowing at the time that she is talking to the highest legal authority in the Tigron Empire. Tarrant-Arragon’s Machiavellian mantra is “By stealth if possible, by force if absolutely necessary.” Just as a medieval teenaged prince might lead armies to far-off Crusades, Tarrant-Arragon has enjoyed full control of the thirteen Imperial star forces since his mid-teens, which has made him the most powerful ruler in The Communicating Worlds in fact, if not in name. FORCED MATE is his love story. It’s what happens when Tarrant-Arragon decides that his longstanding quest for a Mate has become a matter of Imperial urgency. His high handed interference in other family members’ sex lives complicates –and simplifies—courtships in INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL, and in KNIGHT'S FORK.
  • GRIEVOUS Gregory Bodley Harmon: Race: HUMAN Status: Mercenary, chauffeur for hire, equerry, jailer, bodyguard. Home: Formerly Warminster, Wiltshire; Blandford Forum, Dorset; ARK IMPERIAL Earth equivalent dates: born approximately 1954 Grievous Gregory Bodley Harmon started to call himself by the “Hard” moniker of Grievous in a UK prison after he was convicted of the British crime of doing grievous bodily harm to a superior officer in the SAS. Tarrant-Arragon values the Earthling because he cannot keep his honest opinions to himself.

Memorable Quotes

  • “"If you neglected to warn Djetth beforehand that you were going to shoot him down, Your Highness, he may consider you in breach of contract..."”
    Rhett, to Tarrant-Arragon
  • “"I propose a sexual experiment," Djetth announced without warning, shortly after she joined him by the fire and sat down to watch him prepare their breakfast. “You slept well, I take it?” Martia-Djulia retorted”
    Djetth, and Princess Marsh
  • “If another conversation about sex was inevitable, she was grateful that he’d chosen to do it in broad daylight and on the far side of the fire. “Don't you want to know whether you are ever again going to be capable of enjoying one of life’s greatest physical pleasures?" “Speak for yourself,” she sneered, watching as his knife hand moved rhythmically, slicing open the fish. “Life’s greatest pleasure, indeed!” “Shall I rephrase? Are We maintaining a polite fiction that you have never enjoyed sex, sweetheart?” There was a disquietingly odd note in his voice that suggested he knew otherwise. Not for the first time, Martia-Djulia wondered whether her untrustworthy brother had told Djetth about her interlude with Commander Jason. Or worse. What if Tarrant-Arragon had kept a copy of the recording? She spread her arms in a Look-Around-You gesture that ended in a shrug.”

First Sentence

Damn them! Prince Djetthro-Jason eyed the masked males and the unpleasant array of implements they were preparing to use on him.
