Moon Landing Chronicles

Some people survive by becoming something else. When eighteen-year-old Natalie Jane opens her window to an ancient vampire, she steps out of an ordinary Auckland life and into a hidden world of hunger, immortality, impossible love, and monsters who are far more human than they appear. What begins beneath moonlight becomes a journey across the rain-soaked roads, isolated farms, forests, black-sand coastlines, and forgotten towns of New Zealand. Then there is Moon Landing.

Landing Under The Moon follows Natalie Jane, an eighteen-year-old Auckland girl shaped by foster care, abandonment, loneliness, and survival. Raised between unstable homes and emotional neglect, Natalie has spent most of her life learning how to disappear quietly enough not to become a problem. Books, vampires, and fantasy worlds become her escape from a reality that has always felt temporary. On the night of her eighteenth birthday, during a violent Auckland storm, Natalie receives an impossible visitor.

Some people survive by becoming something else. Others survive by finally allowing themselves to live. After choosing death over a half-life, Nara awakens beneath lantern light reborn into a world she barely understands. Moon Landing — once a hidden sanctuary for the broken, grieving, and forgotten — is changing. What was once a refuge now stands vulnerable beneath growing threats, ancient secrets, impossible hunger, and the terrifying reality of forever.

In the storm-lashed hills and isolated backroads of rural New Zealand, something impossible has awakened. Moon Landing was supposed to be safe. Hidden deep within the forests of the King Country, the lantern-lit farmstead had become a sanctuary for monsters trying to build something resembling a life. Vampires, werewolves, and broken people had carved out a fragile existence beyond the reach of the world. But safety never lasts forever. Only weeks after returning from their honeymoon, Nara and Reuben begin noticing strange changes around the property. The forests fall silent after dark.
