I Want One! Guest Blog by S.E. Smith

I'm beyond enthused to be one of nine authors contributing to the Pets in Space anthology, a wonderful collection of novellas and novelettes. After all, pets + space. What could be more fun than that? But along with the fun comes adventure, aliens, intrigue, excitement and compelling romantic mayhem. We're also very proud that part of the proceeds will be donated to hero-dogs.org who provide trained service dogs and companion animals free of charge for our veterans. For the next several weeks, my fellow Pets in Space authors will be guest blogging to share insights into their stories, pets, experiences and favorite things.

I'm very honored to host Pets in Space author S. E. Smith for a guest blog today.

What is your favorite space toy/weapon/aircraft & why?

My favorite space toy/weapon/aircraft would have to be the golden symbiots from my Dragon Lords of Valdier series. They can change into just about anything and are incredibly powerful. They also have an amazing sense of humor that brightens the world around them. Their ability to change into a fighter to carry their warrior away or into a lovable puppy makes you want to take them home. They are also very protective and will do everything in their power to keep you safe. The symbiots are incredible.

What is your favorite scene in your story & why?

One of my favorite scenes is when the landlord comes to offer Jana a ‘deal.’ She isn’t impressed. She is doing a pretty good job of taking care of the situation by herself, but when Matrix and K-Nine step in, LOL, it turns priceless. I love it when a man – and his cyborg partner – come to the rescue, even if the damsel in distress doesn’t need it. I think it is the thread of humor that runs through the scene, yet it is a powerful moment of awareness as well when the characters recognize that there is something between them.

Here is a teaser from A Mate for Matrix from Pets in Space:

“Yes...I do eat,” Matrix drawled in a low husky tone.

“Oh!” Jana whispered. She wiped her suddenly trembling palms down along her thighs. Another flush turned her body to the consistency of melted chocolate when his eyes followed the movement. “I’ll just, you know, go fix something,” she forced out, waving her hand toward the kitchen. “Now. Right now.”

Jana turned and briefly closed her eyes as she called herself every word for stupid she could think of. She was acting like a horny twit! Sure, it had been a while since she’d been in a relationship. Well, okay, she’d never really been in a relationship, but she had imagined enough of them to know what it must be like. She had more book boyfriends than most girls would ever dream of having! She had dated every single one of them – in her dreams.

“That’s what I get for living in a little town,” she muttered. “My hot romances come from books and movies.”
