Foreword to Breathless in the Sea of Tranquility
By Tess Twinehart
To the daring readers who journey across the stars,
Love, like oxygen, is essential but often hard to come by in the cold expanse of space. It sustains us, keeps us alive, and yet, in the vacuum of the unknown, it is tested in ways that Earth’s gentle gravity could never imagine.
Breathless in the Sea of Tranquility is more than a tale of romance—it is a vivid reminder of the emotional toll that interstellar relationships demand. The bond between an air engineer and a biologist, united by their mission to save a fragile lunar atmosphere, serves as both a celebration of human connection and a cautionary tale for those who dare to mix matters of the heart with the vastness of space.
Within these pages, you’ll witness the soaring highs of discovery and the crushing lows of betrayal. You’ll learn that love in space is as rare and precious as the air we breathe—and just as easily lost. But you’ll also find hope: that even in the cold vacuum of uncertainty, love remains a force powerful enough to change trajectories.
Breathe deeply, my friends, and prepare to soar.
Sincerely,
Tess Twinehart
