Smashwords review
Rockliffe’s writing shines with lyrical prose and sharp dialogue, weaving a story that is equal parts thought-provoking and entertaining. Her ability to blend
themes of love, loss, and courage amidst a cosmic backdrop makes The Girl from Space a standout in the science fiction genre.
For fans of The Martian by Andy Weir and Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, this book is a must-read. Monique Rockliffe has proven herself as a force to be reckoned with in speculative fiction, and I can’t wait to see what she creates next.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves gripping sci-fi with heart!

Bio
Monique was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she currently resides with her husband and one bossy cat.
Always the avid reader, she spent every available moment as a child devouring books and superhero comics, which fueled her already boundless imagination. She also loved watching every fantasy and science fiction film she could (still does), establishing her love and passion for storytelling of the Otherworldly kind.
At age five Monique took up tap, and then later ballet, which turned into a successful professional career, but she never lost her first passion - storytelling!
She began writing seriously in 2009 when her dance career came to an end and her husband and greatest supporter urged her to finally make a start.
