The Katherine “Kitty” Katt series, also known as the Alien series, is Gini Koch’s flagship work. Published by DAW Books, it began with Touched by an Alien in 2010 and has grown to 25 entries including novels, novellas, and short stories. The series follows Katherine “Kitty” Katt, a regular marketing manager who discovers that aliens have been living on Earth in secret and gets pulled into their world after a chance encounter with alien agent Jeff Martini.
What starts as a romance between Kitty and Jeff quickly expands into a sprawling story about intergalactic politics, invasions, and conspiracy. Over the course of the series, Kitty goes from an ordinary woman to someone at the center of Earth’s alien relations. The books include both full novels (Alien Diplomacy, Alien in the House, Aliens Abroad) and shorter works that fill in gaps between the main entries.
The series won recognition including the RT Book Reviews Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best Futuristic Romance (for Alien in the House) and the Preditors and Editors Reader’s Choice Award for Alien Nation. Koch writes with a fast, comedic voice, and Kitty narrates in a style that keeps even the more complicated plot developments moving at a quick clip. The series rewards readers who start from the beginning and follow Kitty’s long arc.
