If the Stars Are Lit is a speculative mystery exploring the implications of AI, memory, and loss.

When the starship ferrying her to Earth is gutted by an explosion, Joss Carsten is left alone and adrift, struggling to reestablish contact with humanity. But her health is fading fast, and her isolation is triggering painful hallucinations of Alice, her long-estranged wife.

In an act of self-preservation, the ship's onboard system generates a gemel - a sentient holographic AI, born from Joss's own psyche. The catch? This one is a ringer for Alice.

Now, trapped with an "Alice" who knows all her secrets, Joss must confront her old ghosts as they race to unravel the mystery behind the ship's destruction.
