Blurb

A cozy scifi novel following two men caught in the end of Earth, a trip to Mars, & budding romance.

After the collapse of Earth sends the last of humanity soaring to Mars, documentarian Jocasta Thorne finds himself trapped in his spaceship on the outskirts of the planet’s orbit. Nearly giving up hope of ever seeing another human again, Jocasta’s quiet life is disrupted when a knock at the bay door breaks through the silence, and the stranger on the other side promises he can get them home.

The Wayward Souls of Avalon is a cozy sci-fi tale about two strangers caught in each other’s orbits and their year-long trip to Mars, perfect for fans of Becky Chambers and “The Darkness Outside Us”.

Author

A.L. Davidson is a queer and disabled indie author who loves writing genre-blending stories, tales of heartwarming and haunting romance, and the coziest sci-fi and urban fantasies you’ll find this side of the galaxy. She specializes in narratives filled with ghosts, grief, isolation, queerness, life with disabilities, ecohorror, space exploration, slow burn romance, found family, and the human condition.

She is an Indie Ink, Queer Indie, Pushcart Prize, BBNYA, Thorpe Menn, BookTok Indie Author Awards, and OutWrite Scary nominee, as well as a 2025 Small Spec Awards Semifinalist. The Night Farm was a 2025 Inkies Finalist for Favorite Community Novel on Tapas.

She lives in Kansas City with way too many plants and her cat, Jukebox The Ghost. When they’re not writing, you can find them hanging out at the cemetery or working a shift at their local haunted museum, playing cozy video games, and diving into an ever-growing manga pile.
