It was hard holding back this news all year! The next book in the Kimura Sisters Series will be available in Pets in Space 9! Woooo! I'm super excited by this year's anthology and I think you all are going to love the stories in this set. Coming up in September and October, I'll have lots of posts for you to read about this story and plenty of behind-the-scenes insights into how I wrote this story, so stay tuned!
If you're new to the Pets in Space world, it's an absolutely stellar (pun intended!) anthology series that combines two of my greatest loves – science fiction adventures and heartwarming romantic tales. Each year, they gather a fresh lineup of incredibly talented authors to craft original, never-before-published stories set in the far future and spanning distant galaxies. However, the true stars of these imaginative tales are always the pets who accompany the heroes and heroines on their thrilling interstellar quests.
I'm honored beyond words to have Winta's Perfect Pair included amongst such a stellar array of storytellers in this year's Pets in Space 9 anthology. Getting the chance to not only share Winta and Daichi's emotional journey with a whole new audience of readers, but also support an incredible cause like Hero-Dogs.org in the process? That's doubly awesome.
For those who may not be familiar, Hero-Dogs.org is a remarkable organization that provides invaluable service dogs to disabled U.S. veterans and first responders in need. A full 10% of all pre-orders and the first month's royalties from Pets in Space 9 will be donated directly to supporting their life-changing work. So by picking up a copy, you'll not only be transported to strange new worlds and epic romances, but you'll also be helping give back to our real-life heroes.
I don't want to give away too many spoilers just yet, but let me just say — Winta's Perfect Pair and its unique take on the bonds between humans and their animal companions is going to fit perfectly amongst the other imaginative tales in this collection. Readers are going to fall in love with the mischievous fox Itsuko, whose seemingly random antics play a pivotal role in forming a connection between Winta and Daichi.
Seriously, whether you're already a fan of the Kimura Sisters series or are simply looking for your next sci-fi romance obsession, the Pets in Space 9 anthology is not to be missed! I'll be sure to share more sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes details as we get closer to the October release date. I think you'll be pleased!
I'm over the moon (and other celestial bodies!) to be a part of this year's incredible anthology. Clear your shelves and mark your calendars, my friends! An interstellar adventure filled with romance, courage, and the transcendent power of the human-animal bond is headed your way.
