Moonrising is only $2.99 on Amazon Kindle! Moonrising is a near future sci-fi romance about the first lunar colony. It's cozy & optimistic with complex characters, lots of science & chickens in space. If you loved Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid or are an Andy Weir fan, this one's for you!

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.
