Vesper Black

Vesper Black is a science fiction writer. Her debut novel, Lunar Rendezvous, is a space opera romance (with a little bit of science *friction*).

Prior to embarking on her writing journey, she worked at NASA for over 15 years.

She lives in Space City (Houston, Texas, USA) with her husband and dog.

Lunar Rendezvous is my debut sci-fi romance novel! It is an adult space opera with spice that releases on August 29, 2026.

Short blurb: A standoffish deep space pilot protecting an alien lifeform from the icy depths of Europa must decide whether to trust her new lover with her secrets, knowing that once she does, there's no containing it from the rest of humanity.

New space book! Earlier this week I went to the Humans to the Moon and Mars Summit, where Scott Solomon spoke and had his books available. This is an interesting evolutionary biology examination of what long-term habitation on Mars might look like,

Inspired to do this one by @sarahdoesbookishstuff - I love a challenge that sounds like a launch sequence countdown! 🚀

My TBR is an epically long disaster but I’m moving books from my author buddies to the top of the list 🫶

We had a special guest at our sci-fi book club last night - Charlotte the dog!

We had a great conversation about On the Calculation of Volume: 1. I think I’ll have to keep going with the subsequent volumes.
