STAR CRUISE: TIME LOOP

Excerpt: From the beginning of the novella:

Raelyn was rushing to catch the shuttle back to the spaceport at the end of her free day when a vendor’s stall she hadn’t seen before caught her eye. Among the many bits and pieces the seller had on her shelves and hanging from the framework of her retail space was a glass globe which sparkled and caught the afternoon sunlight on Mabann Two in a way which Raelyn found irresistible. “How much?” she asked, pointing at the globe. She knew she needed to bargain, but she was going to be late and unless the bauble was exorbitantly expensive, she could afford it. This trip planetside hadn’t yielded as many cheap collectibles as she’d like. Her family on Stybetts Three was huge and finding enough interesting gifts for the lengthy holiday season for each of them was an ongoing process.

“Very ancient,” the seller said in serviceable Basic. “Unique.” Reaching up with one claw, the merchant removed the bubble from the hook and handed it to Raelyn. “From a time before the Ancient Observers maybe.”

Yeah, right, no little glass ornament is going to survive all those millennia. And it sure wouldn’t be for sale here in the bazaar.

VS: Oh, Raelyn, how wrong you are!

Eyn – my alien turtle

The book blurb:

Raelyn Cantorini, senior stewardess on the interstellar cruise ship Nebula Zephyr thinks the alien artifact she bought on the last planet the ship visited was just a pretty glass orb…until her pet Eyn knocked the ornament off a table, shattering it and sending her into an infinitely repeating time loop.

Stuck reliving the same day over and over, Raelyn has only hours to try to save the ship and everyone on board from dying in a terrible catastrophe. As she tries to solve the mystery of what happens to the ship right before midnight each time the day repeats, Raelyn meets Kev Stevens, the former Special Forces soldier turned actor and finds herself falling in love with him. Each time the day repeats, she learns more about him while he has no memory of her. Can she persuade him they’ve met before? Will he trust her enough to help stop the Nebula Zephyr’s destruction?

And if they do save the ship, will that reset time for Raelyn?
