Field Notes From Earth — Website Exclusive Edition

A website-exclusive edition of Field Notes From Earth, featuring an exclusive 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 draws Leth out from behind his careful observations. What begins as curiosity becomes friendship, shared routines, 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, and choosing to take part.
