In celebration of my invitation to join Pets In Space 10, Indie Spotlight will feature stories from my fellow authors in the anthology for the through November. Carol Van Natta's Central Galactic Concordance series is a favorite of mine, with all the action and suspense of space opera, along with a good dose of romance. I am super thrilled that one of my favorites from Pets in Space 8, Stellar Drift, has been released as a standalone.

For those unfamiliar with the anthology, each science fiction romance novella has a pet or animal as a main character. The anthology donates 10% of the preorders and the first month’s sales to Hero Dogs, a fabulous charity that trains service dogs for disabled veterans and first responders.

He must choose between his duty and the truth. She must choose between her solitude and the man she can't resist saving.

For fugitive pilot Sairy Sarvand, survival in the vast rainforest on Qal Corona depends on one rule: trust no one, especially not a government forest ranger. But when she finds the handsome and honorable Houyen succumbing to a fatal illness, her conscience won't let her walk away. Even though saving him exposes one of her secrets.

Haunted by a memory of the woman who saved him, Ranger Houyen Albasrey is trapped between a corrupt command that wants the truth buried and his own unshakeable integrity. His search for answers leads him back to Sairy, forcing them into an uneasy alliance. Together, they must uncover the source of the plague before their deadly secrets—and their growing attraction—destroy them both.

When they discover the source might be even deadlier than the disease, can they survive long enough to do what must be done? Or will they be caught in a web of secrets, lies, and betrayal?

If you love stories with genetically engineered pets, a principled ranger defying his bosses, and a romance that sparks in the face of danger, you’ll love this thrilling novella.

Intrigue in the Central Galactic Concordance continues with a high-stake conspiracy in Kinetic Effect.

With their careers and lives on the line, two brilliant researchers must fight a corporate conspiracy unfolding aboard a high-security starship.

After six years with Ryogenomica, pharmaceutical research manager Gaerynx Triplo deeply appreciates his steady career and stable personal life, even if it’s just him and his adventurous pet kulak at home. His relationship with meticulous and witty research manager Amalena Kirilov is totally professional, except in his dreams. Amalena loves her job and making connections, especially with creatively clever people like Gaerynx, but firmly avoids workplace romance. She tells herself her rescued cat is all she needs.

Suddenly, their comfortable lives are derailed when their new boss demotes them both and pulls their teams to push a fast-track project over the finish line.

Amalena discovers troubling information about the fast-track project, and Gaerynx is equally troubled by the company their new boss keeps. Before they can investigate further, they and their pets are isolated on the company’s high-security starship.

If the corporate conspiracy is as dangerous as they believe, they’ll have to trust one another—and the spark between them—to expose the truth before their lives are shattered.

Can these unlikely allies dismantle a dangerous plot, clear their names, and forge a future together amidst the kinetic chaos?
