Touched by an Alien
"Rollicking, sexy fun – science fiction hasn't been this much of a blast since...well, never. Grab on with both hands and enjoy the wild, lusty ride."
– Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Triggers

"This delightful romp has many interesting twists and turns as it glances at racism, politics, and religion en route. It will have fanciers of cinematic sf parodies referencing Men in Black, Ghost Busters, and X-Men."
– Diana Tixier Herald, Booklist
Starred Review
Booklist Top 10 Adult SF/F Novel of 2010

"The series reminds me a lot of J.D. Robb's In Death books...I'm hoping the Alien series is around for just as long as Robb's."
Book Talk

"...great fun, with lots of quirky characters, witty dialogue, a bit of romance, some hot sex, and oodles of action."
Locus

"An appealing blend of science fiction action and steamy paranormal romance. And they're fast-paced; these books just don't stop moving."
Publisher's Weekly

"There's a reason why this series is so popular and it's because there's nothing else out there in the universe like it."
Under the Covers

"Has less to do with making a statement about humanity than it does about reminding us of one of the reasons we read: because it's fun."
Kirkus

"If you like your futuristic adventure with heapings of over-the-top fun and absurdity, Koch has the series for you... A rip-roaring and outlandish romp!"
RT Book Reviews

"Aliens, danger, and romance make this a fast-paced, wittily written sf romantic comedy."
Library Journal

"The main characters are well written and hilarious. The heroine is definitely an alpha female, but isn't without her flaws, which is rare."

About the Author

About The Author
Gini Koch started writing in the American Southwest as something to do in between staring at pictures of good-looking leading men, but now sweats out the words, both literally and figuratively, in Hotlanta and dreams of dry heat.

She has over 70 titles but is best known for her bestselling, award-winning Alien/Katherine “Kitty” Katt series, which started with Touched by an Alien and has sixteen books out currently, with seventeen through twenty-one on the way.

Gini’s made the most of multiple personality disorder by writing under a variety of other pen names as well, including G.J. Koch (the Alexander Outland series), Anita Ensal (The Belters series), Jemma Chase, A.E. Stanton (the New West Series and the Legend of Belladonna series), and J.C. Koch, and all her various personas have stories featured in excellent anthologies, available now and upcoming.

No matter what length – from science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, space opera, urban fantasy, horror, mystery, thriller, suspense, dystopian, westerns, romantic suspense, weird west, and more – if it’s genre, she writes it.

She’s expanded the fun by co-writing with Bebe Bayliss, because it’s nice to have someone else who hears the same voices in their head.
