Welcome to my Open Novella Contest entry! Last year, I entered for the first time with my queer Regency romance, The Prodigal Son, but unfortunately didn't have time to finish. This year, I hope to!Before historical fiction (my main genre, and the genre I publish under – cheeky shoutout to my queer Age of Sail trilogy, out from Canelo haha), I wrote sci fi! That might seem like a big difference but my preferred sci fi is about mysterious ships and the vastness of space, similar to what I write about in historical fiction (ships and the vastness of the sea!).
This is a sci fi thriller, with notes of Event Horizon, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Alien. The prompts I'm using are:
20. Three strangers. Two secrets. One key.
34. You wanted to go to the moon, see the silvery white glow of it for yourself. Instead, the moon came to you. One day, at your door.
Hope you enjoy!
