Take a chance on Rough Passages, my mosaic novel about people who get superpowers when they hit their 40's and risk everything for the sake of friendship, trust, & love. There's also heaps of humor, whimsy, sarcasm, & big "let's avoid dystopia, shall we?" energy.

I found a new hashtag I really like! #hopePunk, a hashtag for stories of beneficial futures. On first glance they all look like fiction (for now?). I got happy feelings seeing each listing, and hope to read them in the future. So I am creating a future stream of such links, by following the hashtag. Should be a fun experiment, and can always un-follow later, whenever. I like it when I like the idea of the future.

Just sent out my May sample of hopepunk writing to my mailing list. It's an extract from the #fanzine I made last week "Zine futures: Going solarpunk with paper"

I just did an author interview with the magnificent Introverted Indies!
They asked me about my writing process and I answered in some detail.

If you’re curious how I turn handwritten notes into Amazon-bestselling solarpunk novels, read the interview here:
