Frankie Finds a Dot

Cooperative Realm: Book 5

Published Copy

Blurb

Cargo shouldn’t breathe. Or fight back.

When Frankie Styles accepts a simple delivery job from her mysterious employer, she expects the usual—boring cargo run, terrible station food, maybe some light search and rescue.

Instead, a cryo crate tries to gas her and the job detours to a research base that’s officially too toxic to visit. With her cyber‑enhanced cat, Spike, Frankie does what she does best: ask the wrong questions in the wrong place. Someone wants this delivery forgotten. She isn’t so great at letting things go.

Perfect for fans of Becky Chambers’ cozy space opera, Martha Wells’ Murderbot, and anyone who suspects the cat is the brains of the operation.

Hello! I'm Nicky Penttila, a writer whose stories explore the human heart amidst the stars. My novels delve into themes of identity, love, and family through characters like disillusioned robots and future families. If you're seeking emotionally rich narratives, you'll find a home in my tales.

From my journalism days across the country to quiet Maryland life with my book-loving spouse and rescue cats, storytelling has been my constant. I aim to connect readers with stories that explore human emotions in extraordinary circumstances.

I'd love to hear about your favorite characters or chat about what makes a story resonate. Feel free to connect with me here or join my newsletter for more insights and cosmic adventures. Your story matters to me, too.
