A website-exclusive edition of Field Notes From Earth, featuring a brand-new prologue that reveals more of Leth’s life before Earth—and before Finn.

Leth has spent centuries observing civilizations without ever becoming part of them. His assignment on Earth should be simple: observe humanity, document its behaviour, and remain detached.

Then he meets Finn, a marine biologist whose easy kindness begins to draw Leth out from behind the safety of observation. Curiosity becomes friendship. Friendship becomes shared routines, quiet intimacy, and something neither of them expected.

But Leth’s presence on Earth is built on a lie, and choosing to stay could cost him everything he has ever known.

Field Notes From Earth is a tender queer science-fiction romance novella about observation, belonging, connection across difference, and the courage to stop watching life from the outside.
