I have been on a self-assigned reading program of speculative fiction written by women and focusing on social structures and gender. In part, this is research for my work-in-progress (that is, I am identifying comparative books as well as seeing how other authors have approached the topic and the science). After sharing a social media post about this endeavor, I was invited to discuss the novel Ammonite, by Nicola Griffith, on the podcast Bookmarked. Priscella Leder and I discuss the novel in detail, but earlier in the podcast I share the gist of my current writing project. You can listen to the podcast here.

Ephemeral Wings and an Interview
Years ago, I studied stream ecology as a graduate student. I soon became as interested in the scientists as in the stream-dwelling insects I was studying, and so started the novel, Maggie Was a Mayfly. Now, many moons later, my quirky allegorical coming-of-age tale, re-titled Ephemeral Wings, will be released on October 6, 2022. The book is available for preorder from Black Rose Writing as well as online distributors. Visit my home page for more info.
Early this summer I had the pleasure of talking to Jennifer Caloyeras on her podcast, Books Are My People, about How to Bury Your Dog, writing in general, and some recent favorite reads. You can listen to that conversation here.
