Just finished reading an ARC of "Different Kinds of Defiance" by Renan Bernardo is mostly on Bluesky — wow! Highly recommended for those who (like me) want to believe in a better future but struggle with utopian visions. And I think it's being released in just two days!
DIFFERENT KINDS OF DEFIANCE will be out tomorrow by Android Press! 🌅 It's a collection of 10 solarpunk/clifi short stories filled with hope, resilience, and lots of struggle. If you read it, consider leaving a review at Goodreads, Amazon, or simply shouting out about it 💚
I'm home. It's here. And it's beautiful. Look at that Andy Perrin cover!! Order your copy of Issue 15 today and I'll ship it out straightaway!
Sometimes a protagonist is so awful they need a content warning! Thrilled that In Another Time Magazine understood the vision of a story that could have been solarpunk if it weren't for the protagonist, and that "The Legacy of the Vines" is forthcoming in Issue 2!
AHHH!!! khōréō magazine got a Hugo nom!! So proud to be part of this team of fantastic folks!! 🥰🖤🖤🖤🖤
My MA final project explored the experience of place in California, so I'm thrilled to have a piece forthcoming in the great underscore_magazine that includes exactly that! Here comes instability, a shifting identity, and the sense that you can never go back to what you were.
What would happen if Joan Didion's "The Dam" met a successfully solarpunk future? This almost-flash piece in the brilliant Does It Have Pockets is my take on an answer.
What an honor! Thanks to DreamForgeMagazine for giving this story the perfect home, and WSFA for considering it for the award. Such wonderful news to hear upon moving (back) to Aotearoa New Zealand!
