Anne Kane lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with a bouncy Jack Russell terrier, a cantankerous Himalayan cat, and too many fish to count. She spent many years trying to fit in and act normal, but finally gave up the effort. She started writing romance, and her fate was sealed when Changeling Press accepted her first submission. She hopes you enjoy the characters that escape from her imagination and the worlds they choose to inhabit.
Her hobbies, when she’s not playing with the characters in her stories, include kayaking, hiking, motorcycles, swimming, skating, karate, playing guitar, singing and of course, reading.
Descended from the witches of old Earth, Stargazers have the ability to control the lines of psychic energy that join the planets and other heavenly bodies. They use their talents to bend the energy to their own use, much the same as the druids of Earth used to harness the ley lines. They can power space ships, run machinery on far away planets and detect people's presences from great distances. Highly sought after, both by legitimate sources who want to hire them and by pirates who enslave and sell them, they are constantly on guard.
In this collection, five stargazers defy the odds and find love and adventure as they travel across the galaxy.
This collection contains the previously released Stargazer novellas Wanton, Willful, Wild, and Wayward and Star Haven: Sinful.

Kat On a Hot Tin Roof – Maree Anderson
Kat Meyer is completely clueless about the ancient Chinese curse that turns her into a cat between the hours of 11pm and 1am. Feline-Kat targets those born under the Chinese Zodiac Sign of the Rat and steals precious items from them, but Kat believes that Cupcake, her pet cat, is the culprit who’s leaving “gifts” on her pillow. When Jace Burton wakes in the middle of the night to find a naked and highly distraught Kat in his living room, he’s inclined to believe her bizarre tale of sleepwalking and cat-burglars-of-the-feline-persuasion—not to mention appalled to think of what harm might have befallen her while she prowled the streets at night! Jace is willing to go all out to protect Kat from harm—whether she likes it or not—but how’s he gonna react when he discovers her secret?
To My Reader: When my kids were small, their favorite story was Slinky Malinki, about a cat-burglar of the feline persuasion, and I once owned a cat that used to carry stuff around in his mouth. So I was just waiting for an excuse to incorporate a clever cat-burglar into one of my stories, and voilà! Kat On A Hot Tin Roof.
My heroine, Kat, blames the “gifts” left on her pillow each night on Cupcake, her pet cat. And when she wakes up naked, curled atop her bed, she believes she’s been sleepwalking—bare-assed naked sleepwalking. What other explanation could there possibly be? Hmmm. That would be telling ;-)
Oh, the endless possibilities for fun and embarrassment, LOL. Poor Kat. With all the weirdness in her life right now, the last thing she needs is a sexy alpha male, who sends her dormant hormones into orbit. So of course, that’s exactly who rocks into town and turns her life upside down. And when Jace gets up-close-and-personal with Kat, he discovers there’s far more to this cat-burglar caper than meets the eye.
I hope you enjoy Jace and Kat’s story!
