Written in the Stars
Jasper is a man of quiet purpose, the assistant curator at a small-town library, where life is governed by schedules, silence, and the comforting predictability of the Dewey Decimal System. He spends his nights at the local observatory, finding solace in the cold, silent order of the cosmos, believing the universe is best viewed from a safe distance.
Emmett is an artist and a wanderer, a man who fled the crushing noise and polished lies of the city's architectural world. He seeks the cracks in the mundane, the raw truth of the unmapped world, finding beauty in chaos and the freedom of the open road. He is a comet, bright and unpredictable, passing through the quiet valley of Pine Falls, leaving disruption and possibility in his wake.
When a chance encounter on a starlit mountain ridge brings these two very different men together, their worlds collide in a slow, deliberate dance of trust and vulnerability. From quiet dinners in a local diner to intimate moments in a makeshift studio, they begin to build a shared life, navigating the challenges of balancing silence and noise, structure and spontaneity, and the subtle judgments of a small town.
But when Emmett's past returns with the promise of a life-altering commission in the city, the fragile permanence they have built is tested by the very forces they both fear. They must decide if their connection is a temporary sketch that will fade with the morning light, or a love profound enough to withstand distance, chaos, and the fear of an unmapped future.

Marcus Andrews is an author dedicated to exploring the intersection of identity, resilience, and romance through contemporary LGBTQ+ fiction. His work often centers on queer joy and the complexities of finding one's "chosen family" in the modern world.
A proud resident of Detroit, Michigan, Marcus draws deep inspiration from the city's storied architecture and the tenacious spirit of its communities. When he isn't at his desk, he can often be found scouting new local settings for his novels-from the neon-lit corridors of the Majestic Theatre to the quiet, sun-drenched reading rooms of the Detroit Public Library.
Marcus is an active participant in the vibrant Southeast Michigan literary scene, frequently engaging with local organizations like Affirmations and LGBT Detroit to advocate for queer voices in publishing. He believes that every person deserves to see themselves as the hero of their own story, a mission that drives every page he writes.
He currently lives in a historic Detroit neighborhood with his partner and a small library of first editions that is slowly taking over their living room.
