ARMAND ROSAMILIA

SPOTLIGHT ON: TammyJo Eckhart

 

How did you get involved in the upcoming Imaginarium convention?

            I met Stephen through several science fiction conventions.

 

What is your latest release and what genre is it?

            Book three of the “Beyond the Soften of His Fur” trilogy.

 

            Genre is a very interesting question because I “don’t do genre well” meaning that I’m more of a cross-genre sort of author.  It can be found under “erotica,” “romance,” “furry,” and “science fiction”.

 

Quick description of it.

            BSHF is a science fiction tale of scientific potential, economic enslavement, and how water impacts global stability, but primarily it is about how love and fear drive one family to fight for their freedom.

 

Something unique about it.

            I think the coupling of erotic scenes with honest assessments of power throughout society with a focus on the personal changes of the character is not what most people expect if they think “romance” or “erotica” or “furry.”  I don’t like to do what is expected, my goal is to tell the story regardless of what that takes.
