There are a million ways to end up in the Alien Bride Lottery. But it takes only one.
If you pledged already, you'll get these as well. Thanks for your support!
This stretch goal includes a signed bookmark, and the surprise bonus is an exclusive digital sticker of a cute alien. This little guy just might make an appearance in one of the bonus stories I'm writing for this campaign!
Remember, the second brand-new Alien Bride Lottery story is the bonus for reaching the very next stretch goal. I've already started writing, so you can check out a short excerpt below. If you want to be sure to get "Betrayed by the Alien Bride Lottery," continue to support this campaign by sharing the info about the book and rewards with a friend!
Vos Klavoii, the director of the Bride Games, gave a predatory smile, his teeth shining white against his neon-green skin. “You should have told us you were engaged to a human man. Your fiancé seemed quite desperate to make sure you made it home safely.”
“My fiancé?” My voice rose to a squeak at the end of the word. “He told you we were going to be married? That’s not true. I never accepted his proposal. I never even took the ring he tried to give me. He’s the entire reason I’m here—I was running away from him.”
“That’s not what Mr. Romano told us.”
“Ask Bian! I told him the whole story.” At that moment, I wished more than anything that I had accepted the sexy, hot pink alien’s offer to accompany me to this meeting.
Klavoii shrugged carelessly, the movement just a little too practiced to be believable. “Your fiancé was quite convincing. Especially when he told me there was a reward for your safe return.”
I spun around, looking for an escape route from Klavoii’s office.
But even if I could get out of here, where could I escape to? I was on a space station. There were only two ways off Station 21: use a transporter or take a ship. But I didn’t have access to the transporter tubes. And I didn’t know how to fly one of the spaceships docked in the hangars.
A round, porthole-style window to one side of Klavoii’s desk caught my attention. Through it, I could see stars shining in the deep black of space.
Make that three ways.
I could leave the space station through one of the airlocks Bian had shown me on our tour.
It wasn’t the worst death I could imagine, stepping out into the cold nothingness.
At least it wouldn’t take long. I’d be dead in a matter of moments.
There was only one problem.
I wanted to live.
Betrayed by the Alien Bride Lottery: Available only via the Alien Bride Lottery Kickstarter IF we hit the next stretch goal!
Also, for anyone who backs the campaign by the end of the day on July 31, I have added three new ebook bonus perks! Anyone who has already backed the campaign will receive these, as well.
Finally, before you go, check out the great publishing campaigns by other authors listed below, and again, please do continue to support this campaign by sharing the info about the book and rewards with a friend!
The bonus for this stretch goal is a second ebook volume of early science fiction stories by women, entitled Written in the Stars. And as usual, I am adding an extra bonus. 😊 This time, I’m including a digital sticker.
We are speeding toward the next two stretch goals! First, when we hit $4500, I’ll send a signed bookmark to everyone who backs at a physical merch level—and at that point, I’ll update the page to include it as an add-on so those who don’t want all the physical merch but who might want some small signed items can request them.
And when we hit the $5000 stretch goal, I will write yet another Alien Bride Lottery book! I’ll be using the second piece of commissioned artwork as the cover, and I’ve already started working on it.
Check out the story information below!
I never should have trusted an alien—not with my life, and definitely not with my heart.
When I started dating Francisco, I never dreamed his family was connected to the mob. But I learned better when I tried to break up with him. He was absolutely determined to make sure I couldn’t get away from him.
What’s a girl to do when she discovers her obsessive ex is a Mafia hitman?
I ran as far away as I could get. All the way to Station 21, where I entered the Alien Bride Lottery. Because marrying a total stranger from a different planet has to be better than dying, right?
I never dreamed the director of the Alien Bride Games might betray me to the monsters I was trying to escape.
I don’t think I can ever trust anyone again—not even the hot alien I was beginning to fall for. The one who promises he can save me.
But everywhere I look, all I can see is betrayal…
Fans of Grace Goodwin, Evangeline Anderson, and Ruby Dixon will love this steamy new series featuring gorgeous, bright alien heroes and the sassy human women they choose as mates!
Every book in the Khanavai Warrior Bride Games series is a standalone romance. Join these brides as they find a whole new world of happily ever afters.

Hi, everyone!
We're past the 6th stretch goal, thanks to all you amazing folks who backed the project! I have reached out to an artist to commission the chapter headings for the special edition of the hardcover edition. I can’t wait to share them with you!
I’m also adding a new bonus perk to everyone who backed at a level to receive physical merch (or who orders physical merchandise as an add-on). You’ll all be getting a signed bookplate sticker. Check out the design below—I'll be signing these right before I send them out!
We're on our way to goal #7 - which is...a second ebook volume of early science fiction stories by women. I used to be a college English professor and have edited a lot of collections of works by other authors—I've had a lot of fun putting this one together and am excited about sharing it with you. You can see the cover for this one below!
Awesome, huh? Keep spreading the word about the project, because I know we can make this goal!
Thanks again--and have a fabulous weekend!

Hello, everyone!
Once again, thank you so much for supporting The Alien Bride Lottery Kickstarter! I’m thrilled to let you know that we have hit the next stretch goal!
I've created new printable bookmarks from the latest artwork. Check them out below!
For this week's surprise bonus, I've added a printable alien-themed word search—it will go out to every backer.
I've also added some new stretch goals recently, so check out the bonuses that will be headed your way as we unlock each new level:
I’m already planning out my next couple of projects—but I’d like to get your input on which one(s) I should set up as Kickstarters first! None of these will go live before the current Alien Bride Lottery Kickstarter is done, of course, but I’ll need to start gathering up the extras that I’ll be giving away as bonuses during the Kickstarter run.
Right now, I’ve got six possible series ideas. Five of these are connected to new series: Alien Guardians, Alien War Brides, Abracadabra Apocalypse, Shadow Chronicles, or Borrowed Wings. OR I could use Kickstarter to finish out my Star Mate Interstellar Shifters series. You can see some of the covers from the projects below, and I’d love it if you took the quiz to let me know which one I should start with!
Again, thank you SO MUCH for your support and encouragement! As the campaign continues, I’ll continue to share more surprise bonuses to celebrate and share with you, so be sure to spread the word.

Also, the Early Backer Ebook Rewards (five hot alien and sci-fi romances by some of my favorite authors!) end on July 15, so if you've been waiting to back the campaign, now is the time to do it!
And I know I continue to ask this in every update, but as I continue to add stretch goals, I’d love to know: what are your favorite kinds of bonuses to receive when backing a publishing Kickstarter campaign?
Click on over to the campaign and let me know with a comment on this post.
