Black Hole Heartbeat
Black Hole Heartbeat is Star Wars if the stormtroopers didn't miss all the time. Like Cowboy Bebop meets Butch and Sundance, or Guardians of the Galaxy in the style of Pulp Fiction.
Self confessed thief of ill repute, Elizabeth Ranger, runs head first into tragedy when she tries to recover a lost treasure in The Barely Charted. She wakes up three years later, flesh burned off and grafted back on, surrounded by strangers and suddenly part of a much larger mission.
Together with Anastasia Yukishnov, the doctor who healed her, Elizabeth and her ensemble cast of lovable and loathable rogues uncover things much more sinister, much more compelling, than the mere trinkets she has spent her life hunting.
Love, loss, loneliness and ray guns all feature against the beautiful, bloodstained backdrop of space.

About the author
Andrew Henley
5 books5 followersI'm a writer and English teacher from North East England with a degree in Creative Writing. This is usually the part where I say what type of writer I am, but my debut novel (Black Hole Heartbeat) is a space opera, my sophmore novel due out in April (Hayley Soon) is a transgressive transgender bildungsroman, and my two novels in progress are about an asexual fire mage cowgirl in a fantasy version of the wild west and the tale of a girl who is haunted by the ghost of her daughter after a stillbirth on prom night. If you can think of a word that encompasses all that, let me know!
One thing that is consistent across all of them is female protagonists and an exploration of darker themes. My main influences are Megan Abbott, Chuck Palahniuk, Elmore Leonard, Raymond Chandler, Monica Drake, Louise O'Neill, Alice Oseman and the modern day master, Stephen King. But honestly, movies like Fight Club, Donnie Darko, Lost In Translation, The Breakfast Club, Sin City and Juno are just as much an influence on my style, as are TV shows like Bojack Horseman, The Simpsons, Community and Game of Thrones.
