2022 Goldie Award Finalist - Science Fiction/Fantasy
Finding the right romantic partner is always a challenge--especially when your first spouse turns out to be a greedy, business-obsessed hardass who winds up on her CEO office floor with a bullet through her brain.After the murder of her first wife, Elaine is ready for a vacation and a solid relationship with a woman who only has time for her. Thanks to some found alien technology, Elaine can get what she wants... sort of. Okay, so a computer-generated tangible holographic image of a twentieth-century film star is about as far from "solid" as it gets. But as her themed pleasure cruise on a passenger starliner progresses and an additional plot to murder Elaine reveals itself, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to her fantasy companion.
Ricky might be the result of exceptional programming, but she proves to be more than the sum of her particles. She shows Elaine more affection, and eventually more protection, than any so-called "real" woman in her life ever has, leaving Elaine to wonder--are Ricky's feelings for her truly artificial? Or is this REEL TO REAL LOVE?
