Introducing: The Wayward Souls of Avalon!

Hello everyone! Thank you all so much for your support of The Night Farm! I wanted to take a second and introduce you all to my main, biggest, and longest running web novel - The Wayward Souls of Avalon! This is one of my passion projects, and it is incredibly near and dear to my heart. It's available exclusively on my Patreon, so I wanted to give you all some info on this series and let you know that the first THREE chapters are free to read, so if you'd like to go and check it out before becoming a Cosmonaut, please do!

The Wayward Souls of Avalon is a cozy slice-of-sci-fi novel set aboard a small, cozy space station known as The Avalon. It tells the story of a young documentarian named Jocasta Thorne who is waiting for his husband, architect and creator of The Avalon Carlyle Thorne, to return from his last trip to Earth. A fleet of space sations is scheduled to make the long trip to Mars in the coming days, and the populace is preparing for departure. Earth is projected to collapse in the next year, so the richest and most influential individuals mankind had to offer enrolled in a humanitarian project run by an organization known as N.O.V.A. with the goal of colonizing Mars and giving humanity a second chance.

While Jocasta patiently waits for his husband to return, the Earth collapses in on itself ahead of schedule. Jocasta is trapped inside of his station without the passcode to the cockpit, and must watch as the fleet leaves without him, stranding him on the cusp of the broken planet's orbit. As months roll on and he begins to lose hope, Jocasta begins journaling letters to his husband as a way of processing his emotions. He tries to figure out what to do without Carlyle, when he suddenly hears a knock at the bay door...

Jocasta finds himself face-to-face with a space-suit wearing individual who introduces himself as Troy McNamara, and the stranger promises he can get them Mars. Having no other choice, Jocasta puts his trust in Troy and the unlikely duo begins a year-long journey to Mars aboard The Avalon.

This is my baby, I LOVE this web novel so much but it is a Patreon exclusive so not a lot of people have read it! So, I'd love for you to pop on over to my Patreon and give those free chapters a read and consider becoming a Cosmonaut! You can get access to all three of my web novels for $3/mo at my Starry-Eyed Space Cadets tier, which includes future chapters of The Night Farm and Lonely Planet Hotel that release weeks ahead of what's here on Tapas!

I would LOVE for you to come check out The Wayward Souls of Avalon, the link to chapter one is below in the description or you can head to my author page and click on the Patreon link! If you're enjoying Lonely Planet Hotel, I'd definitely suggest checking this one out because they're similar and you'll get a lot of content to read while I'm working on new chapters, too!

Thanks so much for your continued support! Y'all are the best!

Welcome to The Night Farm!

Rhys Anderson is looking for a fresh start after a health diagnosis forces him to sell his beloved tea shop. When a small farmstead goes up for sale in the mountains, he jumps at the opportunity to live a quieter life away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and find a new place to plant roots.

After packing up his few belongings, Rhys settles in for the lengthy cross-country drive to his new home. The farm rests on the outskirts of a mysterious town called Wylder Wood, hidden deep in the forests out west and not found on any map. The idyllic little farmstead is perfect for his needs, and his new neighbors are quick to introduce themselves as soon as nightfall arrives.

The locals are welcoming and friendly, but not at all what they initially seem, and Rhys soon realizes that the otherworldly residents want to sink their fangs into something more than his crops...

The town of Wylder Wood comes to life when the sun goes down, and long nights on the farm are filled with friendship, romance, and good eats aplenty!
