Sci-fi for people who don't read sci-fi
AUBADE is a great gateway into the sci-fi world.
You’re looking for your next exciting reading experience. Oh wait, what about a new book for your book club?
Here’s what readers say after reading Aubade:
“Aubade is a well-paced sci-fi book that is imaginative and engaging. I had a hard time putting it down.”
“The author takes you on a trip so descriptive that you can imagine being in the main character’s shoes.”
“M. K. Weaving gets better with each book.”
Several readers have said that this was the first science fiction book they have ever read and liked! My own theory is that it’s because I keep the human in the story. There’s an actual human you can identify with even if she’s completely removed from everything else that is familiar.
Here’s an interview I did with Vince Wetzel not too long ago, where I talk about my writing process. Go check it out!
Aubade is my first full length novel. Here you can read about how it was born.
You just woke up and find yourself onboard the spaceship Aubade escaping Earth. Forever. Last thing you remember is going to bed. On Earth.
Sara wakes up onboard the interstellar spaceship Aubade and realizes she’s lost everyone and everything she’s ever loved back on Earth. Forever. As she begins to adapt to her new life as the Historian onboard Aubade, she is determined to find out who selected her against her will.
Once the crew of Aubade land on a foreign planet tensions rise and suspicions grow between the defense team and the engineering team. Commander Stapleton recruits her to unravel a crucial situation within the defense database, and despite her lack of expertise, Sara reluctantly agrees to help. As relationships develop and Sara finds out more and more about this mission, she must confront her fears and navigate the complexities of her new life.
A space opera for all you sci-fi fans who love Ripley and Sarah Connor and all the strong female leads in action movies.
A dystopian sci-fi adventure distilled through a strangely romantic and pulpy lens.
This book is like that TV-series you binge. It’s a combo of all the sci-fi movies you’ve seen, mixed with romance and futuristic technology we barely understand, and characters you end up rooting for!
Aubade began as a serial here on Substack, and here you can read all about it.
Here is the original serial on Substack complete with the illustrations.

It's interesting how you've so insightfully honed in on the 'human in the story'. How do you balence a character's essential humanity with a setting 'completely removed from everything familiar'? It sounds like a truly brilliant creative algorithm, making it so accessible!
