Guest Author Carol Van Natta Talks About PETS IN SPACE 9

Hi, I’m Carol Van Natta, the editor of Pets in Space 9, a limited-edition science fiction romance anthology. I owe my good fortune to Veronica Scott and Pauline Baird Jones, who came up with the idea and edited the first five editions. I am incredibly lucky they chose me to take the reins starting in 2021.

Pets in Space® anthologies feature full-length novellas, and Pets in Space 9 has ten of them. Here’s the author list: R.J. Blain, Honey Phillips, Carol Van Natta, Kenzie Kelly, S.J. Pajonas, Demelza Carlton, Leslie Chase, Greta van der Rol, E.G. Manetti, and Evelyn Lederman.

My story is Starlane Crossroads, a side adventure in my ongoing space opera romance series. A grieving space station leader and a secretive security chief race against time to solve a mystery and protect their home. Could unexpected romance be the key?

As you might have guessed from the title, pets — ordinary, extra, and alien — are an integral part of each story. I’m convinced that when we make it to the stars, we’re taking our pets with us. Or making pets out of the wonderful new lifeforms we discover. I’m pretty sure the heroes and heroines of Pets in Space 9 agree.

We are proud supporters of Hero-Dogs.org. Pets in Space® authors have donated over $19,000 in the past eight years to help place specially trained service dogs with disabled veterans and first responders. 10% of all pre-orders and the first month’s royalties of Pets in Space 9 will again go to Hero-Dogs.org.

Fair warning: Pets in Space 9 is a limited edition, meaning it’s only around for a short time before it leaves the galaxy forever. If you love science fiction romances with adventure and pets, I invite you to dive into this year’s fantastic stories and find love among the stars.
