As Dreams Are
Made On is my sci-fi lesbian update of Shakespeare's The Tempest. I like to
think it's where the Bard might have taken it had he seen Star Trek.
It was kicked
off by a Facebook group of a few authors floating the idea of a Shakespeare
inspired anthology of short stories. The Tempest has long been a favourite of
mine from when I saw the 50s SF movie 'Forbidden Planet' and someone explained
that it was Shakespeare in space. I've also seen the Royal Shakespeare Company
do it with Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise)
as Prospero.
So I dived
straight into Shakespeare on my kindle and hit Wikipedia and Google for dates,
events and themes in Shakespeare and for images to inspire me. I also revisited
Forbidden Planet and a lot of Star Trek. That wasn’t hard though as I am a
total Trekkie and frankly, once I typed the word "bo'sun" it
practically wrote itself.
BLURB -
A stricken starship, a captain lost in space; a beautiful alien girl,
marooned and adrift in time; the perfect robotic servant. Can he help them come
together and find the space and time for love?
Faberge Nostromo takes Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' far into the future
and onto a world where two women find that love, with the aid of a very capable
android, can be such a thing as dreams
are made on.

Faberge Nostromo grew up in
the East End of London before escaping to East Anglia. He has been a civil
servant, a tea boy, sound engineer, a librarian and an IT consultant but always
knew that he was a writer. He now lives deep in the heart of Suffolk with
his wife, son and too many guitars.
Thanks for having me, KD!
