https://dragonfly.eco/spotlight-gene-helfman/ As part of my world #ecofiction spotlight, this month I chatted with conservation author and biologist Gene Helfman about his newest novel FINS. We talk about #orcas #sharks and the sharkspoitation genre.

And while we’re talking ecological weird fiction, I was just thinking about one of the most incredible novellas I’ve ever read the other day, The Impossible Resurrection of Grief by New Zealand author Octavia Cade. Truly chilling, highly recommend #ecofiction #ecologicalweird #weirdfiction #clifi https://www.stelliform.press/index.php/octavia-cade-impossible-resurrection-of-grief/

You know what this means? My #hopepunk #ClimateFiction series is going to soon (September-ish) be published in German!

Stay tuned for updates...

For the world #ecofiction spotlight series this month, I talked with Andrew F. Sullivan about his novel The Marigold. We discussed everything from fungi fiction to Canadian wildfires and climate change to The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing. He's a super interesting author, and I can't wait to read more of his stuff. https://dragonfly.eco/spotlight-andrew-f-sullivan/

Here’s my quick review of Annalee Newitz’s THE TERRAFORMERS, which we’re reading in book club this week: https://instagram.com/p/CuLuWrwB_Zf/

I've finally revamped the Dragonfly.eco website (https://dragonfly.eco): an exploration of #ecofiction. Blowing your mind with wild words and worlds. I feel like I'm part of this century now. The database has over 1k novels and stories listed, and there are now 229 contributors. Love this field of fiction and all the authors working in it. #ClimateCrisis #rewildingourstories

In the mood for a summer read...about climate or ecology? Rewilding Our Stories Discord (https://discord.com/invite/txgJNVg) is just now adding some ideas for a new #ecofiction read. Come on in, say hi in the introduce yourself channel and then visit the book club channel.

https://dragonflyeco.substack.com/p/june-2023 June's newsletter is about carrying light, kitchen tables, and includes my monthly book recommendation, Lily Brooks-Dalton's THE LIGHT PIRATE. Also read about E.G. Condé's novel SORDIDEZ, new #ecofiction novels at Dragonfly, #novascotia #wildfires, Orion Magazine's summer issue and free event about fairy tales for the #climate crisis, and a new book recommendation list.

My interview with E.G. Condé is out today as part of June's #ecofiction spotlight: https://dragonfly.eco/sordidez-e-g-conde-2/ We talk about his novel Sordidez coming on August 1 as well as Taínofuturism, Indigenous stories in Puerto Rico and Yucatán, and rejection of literary canons that return to the pre-colonial past, instead embracing more egalitarian and unhidden futurisms. #climatechange

The May newsletter is out: https://dragonflyeco.substack.com/p/may-2023?sd=pf I spend a great deal of time working off the Mary Oliver quote, "Love yourself. Then forget it. Then, love the world" and how that relates to loss and pain (as with people you love dying and glaciers disappearing) and the sweetness of the beauty of these things to begin with. This is also related to my two chats with M Jackson about her debut nonfiction 7 years ago and her newest novel. #ecofiction as well as a new Queer Ecology project.

In May's monthly world #ecofiction series, I chat with M Jackson, author of The Ice Sings Back. https://dragonfly.eco/the-ice-sings-back-m-jackson/ #women #nature #cascades

A brief interview I did with Night Beats about the inspiration and playlist behind my forthcoming novella, ANOTHER LIFE

Thanks to "The Last Of Us," mold is having a moment. Which brings me to my new interview with Andrew F Sullivan, author of the #BodyHorror #EcoFiction #UrbanDystopia novel "The Marigold," in which (among other things) a sentient mold is ruining Toronto.
