Kyoko M: Entertaining for an Afternoon

Welcome to the first of my post-Multiverse Con “Meet the Authors” interviews! For the next several weeks I’ll be showcasing interviews with the talented folks I met at the show. Be sure to check out their links and their work. 

First up… Kyoko M!

Tell us a bit about your latest work.

My upcoming book is called The Starlight Contingency! It is Titan AE meets Nikita! It’s about two orphaned amateur thieves named Duke and Scarlett Nam. One night, in the middle of a heist gone wrong, they take shelter in a mansion that randomly transforms into a spaceship and exits Earth’s orbit. Scarlett and Duke wake up to find they are now prisoners aboard the Titan International Spaceship, which contains the last hundred-thousand members of the human race. It turns out an alien warship entered the solar system and destroyed the Earth not long after they stumbled onto the Titan, so now Scarlett and Duke have to survive with what’s left of humanity aboard the Titan. 

It is also the first book in a trilogy, so books two and three are in the pipeline as well. 

What are the themes and subjects you tend to revisit in your work?

I almost always have elements of Found Family in my work. I love the idea of total strangers meeting, becoming friends, and becoming supportive of each other. You can’t choose your parents, but you can choose who becomes your family in the end and I always love writing about that.
