“My purpose was to explore the meaning of celebrity and identity within the context of space travel and the wonders of the earth and the universe,” says author Mica Jay.
As a freelance journalist for newspapers and magazines worldwide, Jay spent many years studying space travel as well as the lives and cultures of remote tribal communities.
In writing Worlds Apart, Jay’s goal was to bring her findings to life through a compelling story set against the backdrop of space travel and the universe.
Jay’s original style challenges the normal conventions of science fiction writing while keeping to the science surrounding space travel.
One of the book’s most innovative themes is in the use of dream sequences and interstellar black holes to link the lives of family and friends and show how they interact within the colourful backdrop of the Cosmos.
