A bestselling author from Ohio is about to reach for the stars, thanks to an unusual project that will place her work on the moon later this year.
A collection of Tina Glasneck s fantasy/Norse mythology novels will be downloaded onto an SD card as part of Writers on the Moon, a project in which the work of 125 authors will be deposited on the moon s surface in a time capsule transported by Astrobiotic Technology, a Pittsburgh-based space-robotics company that builds lunar landers and rovers.
Glasneck, a Canton native, said the writers launch was the brainchild of bestselling author Susan Kaye Quinn, a speculative fiction writer who previously worked for NASA and the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

These works on the Moon speaks to the idea that, despite wars and pandemics and climate upheaval, humankind found time to dream, time to create art. TORONTO (PRWEB) February 22, 2021 Canadian author and producer Samuel Peralta’s books are on a time capsule headed for the Moon.
CHICAGO, Ill., Feb 19, 2021 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) Award-winning Chicagoland romance author Dania Voss’s Windy City Nights series is taking part in the Writers on the Moon project. Coordinated by speculative fiction author Dr. Susan Kaye Quinn, Voss is among one hundred and 25 authors participating in the lunar time capsule adventure.
Voss’s books will join Astrobotic’s Peregrine Mission 1, launching this fall and landing on Lacus Mortis on the moon. Astrobotic is a space logistics company and an official NASA partner. This will be the first American moon landing since Apollo 17 in 1972.
The project’s digital payload will be uploaded onto a SanDisk Extreme microSD card and will remain on the moon indefinitely. The hope is that the snapshot of indie fiction from around the world in 2021 will reveal the humanity of today, to the readers of tomorrow.
