Pets in Space® 5: Great start! But Our Work Isn't Done

As the Pets in Space® 5 authors come up on our first full week after release on October 6th, we have some good news to report. Actually, it's probably more in the great news category.

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a few K worth of visual communication for you. :)

And then there's this. In the Science Fiction Space Opera category on Amazon, Pets in Space® 5 came within striking distance of the bestselling science fiction novel of all time, Dune! 

In fact, Pets in Space® 5 was #3 within two days of release. Dune was #1 some fifty years after release! Although Pets in Space® 5 didn't hit #1 in this category, its placement against what is considered by many as the greatest science fiction novel ever written spoke to its successful launch. Definitely something to celebrate!

But now that the first week whirlwind is over, our work isn't done. You see, we still have several weeks left in our Hero Dogs donation window, and we want this to be the best year ever for our contribution to this wonderful charity. 

Why is Hero Dogs so Important?

Over the last four years, Pets in Space® authors have donated over $15,300 to help place specially trained dogs with veterans and first responders, free of charge. The organization even provides the training necessary for the Hero Dogs recipients to work successfully with their new partners. But that raising and training of Hero Dogs isn't cheap and requires funding from donations to carry on the work. 

Pets in Space® 5 will once again donate 10% of all pre-orders and first month’s royalties to help the great people at Hero-Dogs.org carry out this noble mission. Many of our fictional stories involve special animals helping their human (or alien) counterparts, but Hero Dogs does this in real life! So please open your hearts and grab your limited release copy of Pets in Space® 5 today so together we can continue to assist this wonderful charity! (See the Pets in Space® 5 cover on our right sidebar to view all available vendors.)

What's that? You've already grabbed your copy? Then if you found it to be a great read (or even a dozen great reads!) please leave a review on Goodreads, Amazon or the vendor of your choice, and tell your friends, readers, peers or book buddies about Pets in Space® 5 so we can once again maximize our contribution to help this worthy organization do the great things they do. 

Also, consider following Hero Dogs on Facebook and sharing their posts on your timeline or page to increase awareness of this organization. You can find their page here: Hero Dogs Inc.

Thank you! And have a great week.
