“Finding Mogha” is set in the same universe as my stories from Pets in Space® 3 & 4, “After The Fall” and “Interrupting Starlight,” respectively. The events of “Interrupting Starlight” and “Finding Mogha” occur before the evens of “After The Fall,” but they all can be read as standalone stories. All have mischievous moghas, cyborg Korthans and living ships, and I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
I want to thank the organizers of Pets in Space® for bringing me onboard for yet another anthology. Being a part of Pets in Space® continues to be the best author experience of my life. It is a true joy being a part of the team. None of my stories in ‘The Fall’ universe would exist if it weren’t for these wonderful anthologies. Creating this universe has been so much fun. And contributing to Hero-Dogs.org is near and dear to my heart. Pets in Space® is an inspiration on so many levels. Thank you!
I want to thank my husband, who suggested I go to the ‘river house’ to get this story finished. I was having a hard time concentrating during the time of COVID and uncertainty and literally had to unplug from everything. I wasn’t sure where I could do that, and going to my childhood home was the perfect solution.
I thank my parents, who were more than happy to let me unplug from the distractions of life at their place on the river. We had a wonderful time during those several weeks.
I dedicate this book to the Reagans, fabulous friends, fantastic neighbors, and whose son, Chase, was a big inspiration.
And I thank all you readers. Without you, pursuing my dreams wouldn’t be possible.
