"All her existence, Etria had wanted to be a Star Catcher. Not a Star Watcher or even a Star Seeker, anybody could look for and keep track of the stars. No, she wanted to catch them."


In a galaxy that set her up to fail, Etria's journey to capture stars challenges traditional views and brings about change.

 

Etria, a determined stella, defies expectations and becomes a Star Catcher despite her physical differences. Teaming up with Maron, her own personal Star Keeper, the two set off on a mission to catch stars. Through their many cycles together and growing relationship, Etria's self-perception changes and echoes into her cluster, challenging the stella culture's narrow ideals.

 

Join these mesmerizing space mermaids in this short and tear-jerking sci-fi adventure as they defy conventions and ignite the spirit of acceptance, inspiring others to embrace their differences.

About the author

Tar Atore

Tar Atore was an avid reader from a young age, and got introduced to queer fiction fairly late. Even more so, to queer characters in the fantasy and science fiction genres.

Now, Tar Atore focuses on writing those genres by building relationships between queer characters that enhance the plot without taking over the story. As a fan of subtle romances that smack and epic scales that don't feel overwhelming, Tar Atore writes stories that focus on individuals and has a habit of playing with common tropes and twisting plots around.

When not writing, you can find Tar Atore still with a book at hand! Or more likely on the computer, and working with indie authors to design their covers, maps, and typeset their books under a different pseudonym.
