Book of the Month March 2026

Happy Launch Day!

This month’s book is A Lonely Ship in a Crowded Sky, the latest book in The Lyra Cycle sci-fi adventure series. Happy Launch Day!

Rule number 97: Don’t come empty handed to a wedding or a gunfight.

And don’t arrive at the Bazaar with empty pockets ... on second thought, maybe do.

The crew of the Lyra is back together after rescuing Ish from the clutches of the gangster that betrayed them. Except the Lyra is gone—and Cass, their one of a kind AI, with it.

When Neara ‘Tink’ Bell left the Lyra with a pawnbroker, she never really considered they wouldn’t get it back. Until the man’s son stole it. Now the pawnbroker has an offer—find his son in exchange for a ship. She hates delaying the search for the Lyra ... but without a ship, how are they supposed to find the Lyra in a sea of stars?

With everything going on, she certainly has no time to think about kissing Alek. Well, maybe a little time.

Against the odds, Alek Wa has found a home on the Lyra. But as he wakes up ghosts from his past to help find the ship, he fears those same ghosts could destroy that home and leave Tink hurt and betrayed.

But it won’t matter if they can’t find the Lyra. Not only will the crew lose their home, but they’ll lose Cass for good.

Can the crew find the Lyra before it’s too late? Can Alek resurrect his ghosts without paying a brutal price? And can Tink forgive him when she learns the truth of his past?
