The Day The Moon Split

Mira has carefully built a life that protects her faith in Islam and keeps her social anxiety at manageable levels, but when her boss rewards her with a ten-day space cruise on the biggest ship the galaxy has ever seen, everything she’s guarded unravels. Booked as a VIP and convinced to go before she can back out, Mira’s shoved into spotlights and attention—exactly what she desperately tries to avoid. 

Then she meets him. Tall, bioluminescent, and dangerously compelling, he’s the kind of man Mira finds irresistible, except that he’s an unregistered species no one can identify, and more importantly, he isn’t Muslim. Most aliens have no interest in religion, yet he wears a golden disc etched with a prayer from the Quran. The cruise keeps finding ways to bring them together, pushing Mira to a choice she doesn’t want to make: keep her way of life intact, or follow her heart toward the stranger and risk betraying her faith.

*The Day The Moon Split* is complete at 85,000 words. It will appeal to readers of cozy science fiction exploring faith and purpose as in *A Psalm for the Wild-Built,* and the found family dynamics of *A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.* It stands alone with series potential.
