"
Dara Joy
delivers a knockout story! "
—Romantic Times
From the creative pen of one of the most popular writers of the day…
GET ME WILDCAT ARROWS!
Seems like everyone wants to get their hands on the devilishly handsome tracker! With twenty-nine corporate syndicates after his hide, Wildcat disappeared on the mining colony of Cretion. Now crewmember Lucky Red must command her captain's beloved ship, the Sugarbabe.
Left to fend for herself with no one at her side except her faithful companions SpinDrift and the silent Clugot, she is ill-prepared to handle any spaceship. Things really get out of control when a drop-dead gorgeous pleasure droid suddenly demands to become part of her crew. With no money and no direction, how will they manage without their fearless leader? Is the brave tracker really missing or is he up to something?
Join this wonderful band of wacky misfits as they traverse the galaxy on a streak of roaring, madcap adventures!
(Warning: this book contains a Texan moseying in space.)
THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE FOR DARA JOY
Our response to Dara's new book THAT FAMILIAR TOUCH was just wonderful. I believe we sold around 100 copies… sold the last one the other day. (I was kind of holding on to it, happy I did for my customer. Her husband forgot to tell her we had the book in stock! He would have been in BIG trouble.) Have a wonderful new year!

WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…
"
Dara Joy… sets our hearts ablaze with a romance of incandescent brilliance. An electrifying talent
!
—Romantic Times (Rejar)
"
There is a rising star in the genre who absolutely does not write books that are similar to any others and that is Dara Joy, an author who [was] literally an overnight success
…"
—The Romance Reader
"Hip, Hip, Hooray! Dara Joy has done it again! This author has one of the truly inventive and devious minds in the romantic field. This book is a sterling example."
—The Ridiculous Book Store
"An author who skillfully hides sub-text under inventive storytelling is, to me, a highly talented author, and I doff my hat to the Joys of the world who manage to do this. Her stories have a staying power that is incredible and every single time I go back to one of them, I find something new that jumps out at me. This is multi-layered."
—All About Romance
"If you love great stories with great characters you're going to love Dara Joy."

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT
'THAT FAMILIAR TOUCH'…
That Familiar Touch will be read again and again just like the rest of her books… I can't get enough of her books.

I just thought I'd drop y'all a line… Living along the Alabama coast we had a really scary time of it lately with Hurricane Ivan breathing down our neck. As I was (trying) to prepare my room for the storm, of course, I put several items that are irreplaceable into a waterproof shoebox and shoved it into a bottom corner of my closet. Included were bank statements, various diskettes with my fanfiction, and in a zip lock baggie: my copy of That Familiar Touch. I just thought you might want to know that even faced with the possibility of serious house damage, that book is well worth protecting.
Sincerely, Rita
I just had to get my hands on anything that had DARA JOY printed across the cover. Not one of your books has disappointed me… and that is saying something. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your courage and endless devotion to your fans. Much love and support

Dara,
I'm sure you must be flooded with emails right about now but I just wanted to let you know that I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book and I'm eagerly anticipating any more that may be forthcoming from you.
Stay Strong

Dear Dara,
The book was fantastic and worth the wait. As long as you keep writing I'll keep reading. Your books are all keepers. I tell everyone how great they are but I'm afraid to let them out of my sight. Some people don't return and I would have a fit… I will read "That Familiar Touch" again and then read all your previous books for the tenth time. Love, Love, Love, your work.
A big thank you from Catherine
I read THAT Familiar Touch it was beautiful but I need
MORE
! …
I love you Dara

I thought TFT was a brilliant book and I loved reading more about the characters from the previous MOD books… I also thought KpW was a very special story filled with so
much hope for any one who's been through tough times. I would definitely buy any more novels or novellas you write wherever they were available from… Keep fighting and please let me know if there is anything I can do to support you in your fight against Dorchester. Looking forward to the next book!!!!!!

Dear Dara,
I enjoyed That Familiar Touch as I did all your books. I appreciate the effort that went into creating it and getting it to your readers. You have the rare ability to create new worlds and draw the reader in… It's rare to find authors who can create plausible settings and tell a good story. After I read the first couple of your books, I was hooked…
Best regards, Rebecca

This book is dedicated to the noble dachshund: a canine who wields silliness as his weapon of choice.
To all of my fantastic readers,
If anyone had told me that I would set up a publishing company and publish my own work—not once but twice—I would have thought they were writing the fiction. Yet, here we are.
This has been a difficult but rewarding experience. I've learned that books are much like children. Each one is unique with its own temperament—and each one is birthed differently. I am so happy this 'baby' is finally out and in your hands. Despite the travails of the process, it is very satisfying to create new stories for those who truly adore this kind of fiction. Many of you have asked me to continue producing original stories in this manner. I will leave that—as I always do—in the hands of the readers. My pen is ever on standby for your reading pleasure.
All of us at the House of Sages want to thank you for your loving support. May all the hard efforts of writers and readers alike continue to keep our beloved books alive.
Love,
Dara

For some reason, I was stimulated by marketing and fascinated with how commercials would sell a product. So I got my degree in marketing.

"Director! Director!"
Somewhat annoyed at the interruption, Big Gun put the portfolio he was studying aside to acknowledge his No. 1 Stoolie. The man's company knowledge was vast but he greeted every concern as a matter for hysteria. "Yes, what is it, Heiner?"
