But sometimes the animals help us instead, and in ways we never imagine.

The Aliens Among Us StoryBundle, and Farm Country in Space!

I couldn’t be happier to have my story Restricted Species included in the Aliens Among Us StoryBundle! My tale of the perils of galactic agriculture keeps fantastic company with a bunch of my favorite writers, all with a different fascinating take on aliens.

Plenty of chances for your next alien-forward reading escape, but be sure to check it out before time runs out!

“In this short novel, Restricted Species, Kari Kilgore takes us to a xeno-farming planet. Amazing how many things can go wrong on a simple farming planet when aliens get into the mix. And Kari keeps us reading right to the last detail.”

Burns Night and Soul Deep

I love it when other writers post about their date-specific stories so I can check them out, but I forget to do that for the ones I’ve written. So I’m raising a glass of fine scotch whisky to that tradition here on Burns Night!

Soul Deep is a prequel short romance set in my Soul Travelers series, and it was an absolute treat to write. A sequel to the first novel Hand Me Downs may very well be appearing this year, too.

2021 Writing Wrap-up: Part 2. Stories other folks published!

Another way my stories found their way into the world in 2021 was someone else publishing them first. These were professional sales, anthologies, and magazines. I figured I should mention these, because it was a pretty good year for this wonderful way of getting stories out into the world.

And also because I’m delighted and honored by the stellar company my words get to keep! And I have to say one of the best things about getting author copies is all the great reading I get to do.

For the stories I have rights back for, I’ve included links below. But for each and every one of these, my tales are made better by the amazing stories by wonderful writers around them. If you love short stories as much as I do, be sure to click through and pick up these fantastic publications.
