Love code—her DNA and their data, beautifully intertwined like Tiralan head tendrils, the perfect pairing for Helix and Qalu to live happily ever after.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

Interesting footnote, the Tiralan evolved from human DNA, but they ended up with head tendrils and scales instead of hair. I’m sure you’re wondering where I got my inspiration for the alien sex in this book. And it’s a combination of snakes (don’t Google, seriously, but if you must – ‘Snake sex is every bit as peculiar as you would expect’ or ‘snake breeding ball’) and worms (check out ‘A Worm With Three Sexes Has Been Discovered Thriving in a Nearly Lifeless Lake’.) Are you back? Good. Whew. I told you not to look.

Anyway! In LOVE CODE, I played with the Stargate premise of advanced aliens taking humans back in the day and seeding them through the galaxy as an experiment. I wanted to work it into the story, but the reveal didn’t fit the plot, so I’m putting the info here. Because I can. In this universe, there are five aliens that came from human stock, though they’ve diverged widely over the millennia.

I could say more, but spoilers! See, I can’t just write a duology. It’s against my credo. Which means there will be one more book, wrapping up the Galactic Love series. (Yes, it’s about Yara Duncan and Toth Krag.) Look for RENEGADE LOVE in January 2022, or you can subscribe to my newsletter on annaguirre.com to read it as a serial. (You can also keep up with my news, book releases, and enter exclusive giveaways.)

If you enjoyed LOVE CODE, peruse my other work. I’ve written in many genres, including urban fantasy and science fiction. Currently, I have a paranormal romance series that starts with THE LEOPARD KING.
