Dreaming of the Stars: A lesbian romance serial featuring Japanese-style idols in a sci-fi setting (Starlight Dreamers Book 1)

“Becoming an idol is a journey like no other. You start with nothing, work yourself to the bone, sweat blood and taste the bitterness of defeat until finally, after much trial and much error, you discover your first ever fan. Then… well, then your real journey begins, and this time you don’t need to walk it alone.”

— Misaki Aida, stellar level top idol, on her rise to stardom, circa 2072.

The Red Planet produces many things. High-speed luxury starliners. Plastics, alloys, and exotic gases essential to the construction of those same starliners. Beautiful, dusty red Martian Roses. The famed strawberry pudding known as the Olympus Bun.

But the one thing Mars has rarely been known for producing is stellar level idols. Entire books could—and have—been written on the subject of idols, but to most ordinary folk they are people who brighten your day and make you smile merely by being.

An idol's job is to be a source of inspiration, a guiding light in times of darkness. Idols can sing, dance, act, even work as producers for other idols, performing minor—and sometimes not-so-minor—miracles behind the scenes, so their friends and rivals can be their best, too.

After auditioning for entry into planet Aida’s prestigious Dreamstar Academy for Idols, best friends Isla and Anise are now set to become idols themselves. Meeting new friends and potential rivals Lisa and Mira, they will have to deal with not only the realities of becoming an idol, but also the tricky subject of falling in love.

And who knows, maybe one or both of them could one day become a galactic starlet, one of those guiding lights. Their destinies are in their own hands now, and their ultimate fates will depend on their ability to seize whatever opportunities come their way, and capitalise on them at every turn.

Join Isla and Anise—and the many friends they will meet—on their journey to stardom.
