You've inherited a movie theater, what's your first double feature?

(It was either gonna be Monty Python and The Holy Grail or Eternal Sunshine for in place of Grand Budapest)

Just a little excerpt from my book not based off what’s going on with the world right now.

“Look, I want that reward more than anything or anyone else, and I’ll be damned if anyone gets it before me.” Verla frowns. “Money is the route to the fall of the universe.” Ray looks at Verla with a face full of confusion, but Verla only smiles innocently in response.

The cover of my book, Neptia’s Galaxy Railway which depicts Neptia and Tavvi running in front of four pillars with planets and space in the background. The back text to my book that reads: After waking up with no memories of his past life, a stowaway finds himself running from the authorities on a Goldstar Train, the most luxurious galactic train available to travel the stars. He soon meets Neptia Goldstar, the runaway heiress to the Goldstar Line and fortune. Christened “Tavvi” by his newfound friend, the stowaway strikes off with the heiress on an intergalactic search to discover his origins and find his missing memories, but their investigation will not come easy. The sole clue to Tavvi’s past life is a small tag attached to his ear, and the only one with answers might be a station officer who desperately wants the bounty for Neptia’s return. As the two friends get deeper into their search, they discover that Tavvi’s amnesia could serve a purpose, as his memories are connected to a sinister secret… The spine to my book The Copyright page that features my editor cover artist’s name along with a bunch of other legal stuff and a bit of text that reads: This book is licensed for everyone to read.

Verla is Ray’s partner who has been tasked with bringing in Neptia and Tavvi after receiving an anonymous tip about their whereabouts. An Osanu, a species from the distant stars, she often becomes annoyed with Ray’s pursuit of fortune for bringing in Neptia and just wants to finish the mission. Despite this, she’s still one of his closest friends and is more times than not the voice of reason between the two, and remains by his side, even when he up and vanishes from her side after getting a lead.

Ray is a police officer who is often stationed at various galactic train stations across the galaxy. After receiving an anonymous tip about, he and his partner Verla(who you’ll meet soon) are on the tails of Neptia and Tavvi. Thinking about the reward for bringing in Neptia and Tavvi, he often rushes head first into situations without consulting Verla, much to her annoyance. He also seems to be hiding a secret connection to Tavvi…

He has no memories of his past life and the last thing he remembers is waking up on a different galatic train with a black eye (it’s healed now). After running away from the authorities, he boards a Goldstar train where he meets Neptia, and he decides to stay with her to see if they can find his memories. Despite having no idea who is is and where he came from, he manages to keep a cool head and is often the voice of reason of the duo. He’s also plagued by strange dreams and visions as he sleeps…
