Lira and the Five Cats of Another World Book 1

✨ Book Summary:

When Lira Santiago, a 40-year-old overworked virtual assistant, jokingly replies “Sure, why not” to a strange midnight text about being transported to another world, she never expects it to come true.

Moments later, she and her five beloved cats—Chloe, Mochi, Bean, Cinnamon, and Nori—find themselves in a breathtaking new realm where magic hums in the air and dragons soar across violet skies.

But this world is no dream. Each cat reveals unique magical powers, and Lira soon learns that they weren’t brought here by accident. A mysterious prophecy speaks of a “Keeper of Five,” a human who can restore balance between worlds.

As Lira learns to harness magic, she faces whimsical creatures, glowing forests, and ancient secrets—all while balancing her chaotic new life with her sassy, talking cats. Together, they’ll discover that even the most ordinary life can hide extraordinary magic.

🖋️Author’s Note

While this story is inspired by real people and animals, most of it is fiction.

I’ve been an avid reader of comics, novels, and manga for over 30 years, and these stories have shaped my imagination.

When I was younger, I dreamed of writing a romance novel but struggled to bring my ideas to life. Perhaps it was because I hadn’t yet experienced love myself. Now, after decades of reading fantasy and manga, my imagination has finally found its voice.

This story is the beginning of a journey that’s both fun and emotional, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Lira and the Cats is planned as a five-part novelette series, each exploring new worlds, new magic, and the power of companionship that transcends realms.
