by Rebecca Thorne
USA Today Bestselling author Rebecca Thorne delights in a brand new cozy sci-fi romance series for fans of Martha Wells.
Torian Razner finally bought a starship, and contrary to Amelia's assessment, it was not "a meteoric sign of stupidity." Sure, the alien starship may have been abandoned for a century, and it may be covered in moss now… but it's Torian's ticket to freedom, regardless of what her ex… ah, captain… said.
Except Torian's first flight reveals a surprise passenger: the moss is actually an organic computer with a snarky attitude and serious abandonment issues. The target of its loathing? The immortal alien who built it (and then parked the starship, with Moss inside, and forgot about it). The same alien who just found Torian and accused her of "stealing" the ship.
It's entirely possible that Amelia was right about this meteoric stupidity.
"Thorne's arch humor...and striking critique of inequality blend beautifully with moments of tense action and the emotional second-chance romance between Torian and Amelia. It's enchanting." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This may well be the most entertaining and enjoyable science fiction novel of the year." —Booklist (starred review)
"This is a delightful mashup of romance, found family, and a touch of violence. Sweet without being overly saccharine, it's a book for readers who want the adventure that comes with the vastness of outer space without its harsher realities. A cleverly titled, cozy SF romance that marks Thorne as a writer to watch." —Kirkus Reviews
"A ridiculously charming sci-fi escape with a lovable, ragtag found family, Moss'd in Space is as kind, funny, and full of heart as it is Mossy. I've never loved an organic sentient life support system more! Rebecca Thorne is the queen of fresh, funny, fantastical adventures!" —Julie Leong, USA Today bestselling author of The Teller of Small Fortunes
"Moss'd in Space makes the vastness of space feel delightfully cozy, with characters you'll root for and a sentient life-support system (aka Moss) I adored from its very first page. If you like Murderbot, you'll love Moss!" —Jessie Mihalik, author of Polaris Rising

Rebecca Thorne is an author of all things fantasy, sci-fi, and romantic, such as the Tomes & Tea series. She thrives on deadlines, averages 2,700 words a day, and tries to write at least 3 books a year. (She also might be a little hyper-focused ADHD.)
After years in the traditional publishing space, Rebecca pivoted into self-publishing. Now, she's found a happy medium as a hybrid author, and leans into her love of teaching by helping other authors find their perfect publication path.
When she's not writing (or avoiding writing), Rebecca can be found traveling the country as a flight attendant, or doing her best impression of a granola-girl hermit with her two dogs. She's always scheming to move to a mountain town and open a bookshop that serves tea.
