The Six Years I Spent With You On Chenhablimesh - Uncharted

It’s been thirteen years since I threw that old red flip phone across the beige-carpeted living room of my first apartment in Albuquerque, startling the white rabbit I lived with, who hopped away into the bathroom and hid behind the toilet. The memory erasure worked, for thirteen years. But after watching that viral video on […]

I got to write about my research for “The Roots in the Box and the Roots in the Bones” for the Asimov’s author blog and now you all get to go down this dark, wild rabbit hole with me. Bring a flashlight

Finding and Breaking Utopia

From Earth to the Stars

I have a new story out today in @ReckoningMag about a team of scientists, a dolphin, and a little splash of AI all in a race against climate change to make a connection. It's called SQUAWKER AND DOLPHIN SWIMMING TOGETHER, and it's really one of my favorite stories that I've ever written. The ebook is out now, and you can preorder the print edition. 🐬 🤖 👩‍🔬

Do you wish you felt more hopeful about the state of our world? Then you'll want to hear from Renan Bernardo, Brianna Castagnozzi, Susan Kaye Quinn, and T. K. Rex—they're writing hopepunk stories that challenge us to look up from our doomscrolling and envision a future filled with defiant optimism! About the Panelists: Renan Bernardo is a sci-fi and fantasy writer from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He has stories published in multiple languages and magazines, including Apex Magazine, Solarpunk Magazine, Podcastle, and Daily Science Fiction. Brianna Castagnozzi is the co-editor-in-chief of Solarpunk Magazine. Her work has been published in Stonesthrow Review, Shawangunk Review, Entropy, and Clarkesworld. Susan Kaye Quinn is an environmental engineer/rocket scientist turned speculative fiction author who now uses her PhD to invent cool stuff in books. She writes hopepunk climate-fiction full-time and believes being cozy/gentle/healing is radical and disruptive. Sue's hopepunk can be found in DreamForge magazine and Grist's Imagine 2200 contest. T. K. Rex is a science fiction and fantasy author of mostly British and Ashkenazi descent, raised by witches in the western states and currently pretending to be a Silicon Valley tech worker for purely research purposes and not at all because she still owes $40,000 in student loans. You can find her mostly non-cynical, mostly climate-themed stories in Strange Horizons, Asimov's, Reckoning, and elsewhere.

Incredible read. Dinosaurs and the K/Pg extinction have not been given their due in fiction by a long shot

The Land Beyond Spacetime: Dinosaurs and Cosmic Horror

I saw The Land Before Time when I was four years old, and I don’t think I ever fully recovered. Don Bluth’s 1988 animated film created an entire generation of dinosaur fans with its potent mixture …
