Book excerpt: Contains novellas one, two, and three in the Junkyard Dog novella series. JUNKYARD DOG Bounced through an asteroid field like a pinball, Major Rita King crashes her damaged star cruiser on a lifeless planet. Her troubles are just beginning. Rita loves her ship. Loves the feel of deep space between the stars. Loves being a galaxy cop. But holding the spot of top pilot in the elite Red Barons leaves little time for anything else in her life. Maybe that’s why she missed the signs that all is not well in her world. Someone she trusts tampered with her ship and sent her out to die. Things go from bad to worse when Rita’s repaired ship is captured and she is forced to work in a mine filled with a deadly bacteria. Even if she escapes she’ll be a fugitive from the very agency she swore to uphold. Her life in tatters, Rita fights to find answers. Who betrayed her, and why? KRAKEN BLUES Monsters in the deep? Rita King heads to the planet Harmos to recover from her recent ordeal. Her favorite destination for R & R, Harmos is all about Old Earth blues and jazz clubs, fresh seafood, and best of all, her friend Rose’s bath house. But when someone attacks Rose during Rita’s visit, Rose refuses to talk about it. Her only comment? ”They’re back.” The next day, Rose disappears. Saving Rose means Rita must face a deep-seated fear, one that has haunted her most of her life. One that might uncover the secret and danger of the mysterious Kraken. DEADLY CARGO Rita King cannot let a mystery go unsolved. Forced to hide from the law agency she had once dedicated her life to, she heads to the planet Weegan for ship repairs. But her friend warns her off. Refuses to let her land in his village. Rita’s unerring nose for trouble won’t let her move on until she discovers the reason why. A gripping tale of high stakes on a distant planet in the galaxy, Deadly Cargo delivers another adventure with space pilot Margarita King. A sci-fi adventure series with alien worlds.
