From the moment I heard about the Pets in
Space® anthologies, I thought it was such a great idea. An anthology of science
fiction romance stories that feature pets? 1-clicked! I love seeing the variety
in worlds, characters, and authors’ voices. Plus getting to meet the different
pets is always such fun.
Then I discovered that Pets in Space®
supports Hero-Dogs.org, a non-profit charity that provides service animals to veterans
and first responders in need. At that point, it became a bucket-list item for
me to be part of this wonderful endeavor.
I’m thrilled to be one of thirteen authors
in the Pets in Space® 4 anthology
releasing on October 8, 2019!
It seems both far away and right around
the corner to me. I’m so excited for these stories to be out in the world! And
just in case it seems like a long wait for you, too, there’s a sampler of short
stories and preview chapters that you can download right now when you sign up
for the Pets in Space® newsletter at PetsInSpaceAntho.com/Sampler (but sign up quick —
the sampler goes away October 7, 2019!).
In the meantime, please enjoy this expert
from my Pets in Space® 4 story, Import
Quarantine. It’s book 11 in my Department of Homeworld Security
series!
EXCERPT
She grabbed her phone from her bedside
table and ran to the door, stepping up on her tiptoes so she could see through
the eyehole. The motion sensor light had tripped, and through the fish-eye
lens, he looked…
Pretty cute, actually.
He had greenish-blue eyes, sandy brown
hair—shorter on the sides than on the top—and a strong jaw and nose. Nice lips.
Really nice lips. His arms were braced on either side of the doorframe and his
shoulders were broad enough that he looked totally capable of knocking down her
door.
“Wow, he is buff,” Caitlin whispered.
He lifted his fist and hammered on the
door again, hard enough to make the pictures on the walls shake. She yelped and
jerked back.
“Caitlin O’Rourke!”
“I’m here,” she yelled. “You can stop
knocking.”
His tone hadn’t lost any of its urgency
when he said, “I need your help.”
“I’m not a doctor.”
He went quiet.
She was about to look through the eyehole
again when he said, “Brigid told me you were.”
“Brigid,” Caitlin murmured. “Of course.”
Brigid, the quieter twin who somehow lived
the more interesting life. Brigid, surrounded by celebrities that hired her to
cook for them. Brigid, the valedictorian, who could do no wrong in their
parents’ eyes.
“I’m a veterinarian,” Caitlin said.
“A what?”
“An animal doctor.” Caitlin raised
her voice so he could hear her clearly.
“That’s what I need. Please, my cat needs
help.”
