About Sunrise Over Shippo: A Salvage Title Universe Novel (The Asur Trilogy Book 1):
How did it all go so bad?
All Kailey Jackson ever wanted to do was study the lost civilization of the Asur in peace. When she proposed an archaeological investigation into the ruins on Shippo, home of the fox-like Kitsoonay who raised her, she had no idea the infamous Badar Syndicate was funding the dig, or that they would use it as a cover to invade her world.
Now, Shippo is under attack, and Kailey and her Kitsoonay sister, Jinx, barely escaped the Syndicate with the help of the Lancers mercenary unit. The Lancers are going to take the planet back for them, but they can’t go in blind. Kailey, feeling responsible for the attack, volunteers to lead the scout mission back to Shippo.
The Syndicate is expecting her return, after all, one way or another. So what if it puts her life in danger? So what if she isn’t a fighter? Kailey is willing to do whatever it takes to fix what she has broken, even if it means putting herself back in the hands of the very organization killing her people.
Because sometimes… sometimes you have to fight to protect what you love.

Author Bio:
Melissa Olthoff grew up on Star Trek, Star Wars and pretty much every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie ever made. She was lucky enough to have an amazing dad that supported her out-of-control reading addiction – and her goal of joining the military. In 2005, she commissioned as an US Air Force officer and briefly achieved her dream of becoming a pilot. While she loved flying, her ears did not, so she cross-trained into Airfield Operations where she spent the rest of her military career. Her last assignment was Seymour Johnson AFB, a F-15E Strike Eagle base. She swore she wouldn’t date a fighter pilot, but accidentally left a loophole and ended up marrying one. She now works as an accountant (seriously) to pay the bills and her husband flies cargo. They like to joke that they used to be cool, and do cool things. Then they had children. They currently live in Tennessee with two kids and two oversized German Shepherds.
