PITCH FOR READERS/BOOK CLUBS:
Every decade or so, vast quantities and varieties of wildflowers bloom all at once in Death Valley. But unbeknownst to the wider world, these super blooms are powered by a woman’s life. Mar’s mother was called a decade ago, pulled underground to be used like a battery, and she herself has begun to feel Death Valley’s presence. Mar has an ace up her sleeve, though: neither she nor her brother will ever have children. Is it enough for the desert to release its grip on her family?
Death Valley Blooms is out with Neon Hemlock. Cover illustration by Rose Meyer. Cover design by dave ring.What was the seed for your novella, Death Valley Blooms, and how did this sprout into the novella published by Neon Hemlock?
My Clarion class put out seven charity anthologies to help raise money for attendee scholarships.
Clarion lasts for six weeks from June to August, so we challenged ourselves to write a story from scratch each year, focusing on a different color of the rainbow.
My Yellow Volume story started at the (erroneous) assumption that all dirt in the southern Californian deserts is yellow, or at least yellow-ish.
From there, I did some daydreaming about how the ground might interact with people; I went from “skinning your hands and knees when you fall down” to “what if the blood spilled from a minor injury isn’t enough? What if blood isn’t enough? What if the ground eats you whole? Why would it do that?”
By the end of the first draft I knew I had something special, but I also knew I’d never be able to tease out the subtleties hiding in there under our short timeline. So I set it aside for a few years, and picked it back up during grad school.
Within the novella are themes of consent and autonomy, but also the futility of people’s actions against a landscape that will outlast them. Where did these themes come from, and why explore them here?
One of my childhood refrains was “I can do it myself!” even when that was not objectively true. It insists on boundary-setting for both consent and autonomy—anyone who overrides one will inevitably override the other.
Death Valley Blooms’ main character, Mar, is very much a product of that mentality. She is determined to break her family’s curse, even though generations of women have succumbed to Death Valley’s call. She fights for her autonomy and nurtures a lifelong grudge against the curse for stealing her ability to consent. Because, of course, that’s what curses do: render those trapped under its power unable to protect their emotional, mental, and physical selves.
I also spent a lot of time thinking about climate change versus an individual’s effect on their environment. The physical world does not care how frightened or overwhelmed you and I are by wildfires, flash floods, or water scarcity. But if one small part of the world—Death Valley, in this case—reached out and demanded payment or help from an individual, how could we possibly say no? Even culpability and guilt aside, how could a single family of individuals possibly resist nature’s force? They can’t.
What to you was psychologically interesting about a family dealing with constant absences and returns?
I had a lot of undiagnosed anxiety when I began writing Death Valley Blooms, and one of the things I obsessed over was my parents’ ages. I have a good relationship with both, and for a year or more I just could not see past the knowledge that I’d outlive them, and that that was somehow the best outcome.
One of the more tragic ideas I couldn’t shake was the prospect of losing time—losing years—that could be spent in one another’s company: how much better would it be to “only” lose your mother (or sister, or aunt) for twenty years, rather than forever? Furthermore, how difficult would it be to accept and move through the resulting grief, then have those feelings and growth invalidated when the missing loved one returns? What does that do to a close-knit family when it happens over and over again?
What LGBTQIA+ rep can readers expect to find in this novella, and why is this rep important to you to include?
There’s no reason not to make characters queer in one way or another—or rather, there’s no more reason to make them queer than to make them straight. A story doesn’t hinge on the gender or sexual orientation of side characters, and even “boring,” everyday representation is a good thing.
For example, Mar’s closest friend is openly bisexual; she’s divorced from a man and dating a woman. It comes up in casual conversation a few times, but that’s all.
I identify as simply queer now, but I spent many years identifying as asexual, then as aro/ace (and so on and so forth as my perception of myself changed), while living in a near-constant state of fury and frustration at how hard it was to find ace main characters at all, let along ace main characters outside romantic subplots.
I didn’t plan for Mar’s aro/ace identity to become a strength, but it’s an important part of who she is. Part of why she’s so family-oriented is that she doesn’t care about finding a romantic partner. Her family is perfect the way it is, if only she could defy Death Valley and bring everyone together again.
The other queer rep I’d like to highlight is Mar’s aunt, Lucy, who is a trans woman. She’s got her own issues going on over the course of the story, but she doesn’t stand in the spotlight, either. I wanted to create a path for her to simply exist as a regular person dealing with a family curse and an increasingly desperate niece. (“Regular” is doing a lot of work here, I know.) But I wanted to remind readers that the environment does not give a rat’s behind about human-imposed boundaries, whether those be gender strictures or geographical boundaries.
Death Valley’s curse falls on the women of Mar and Lucy’s family, and both Mar and Lucy are women.
Death Valley is a character in the novella, much like the human characters. What was it like to develop this aspect of the novella?
As a younger writer, I participated in a workshop where one colleague had a television background, and we talked a lot about the “white room syndrome,” where a scene entirely ignores its setting. The discussion left an impression, and over time my writing evolved from dutifully including setting descriptions to centering the setting alongside the characters.
Our surroundings in real life aren’t sentient, but speculative fiction is the perfect place to look beyond that natural end place. I’ve really loved trying to get into the headspace required to embody an inhuman, unpredictable, and nearly all-powerful true-neutral character, a vast ecosystem with little to no way of communicating directly with my human characters—sometimes I think of Death Valley’s character as alien as the actual location feels when visiting. And I’m definitely going to keep doing this in future stories!
For example, I have another story I’m working on about eating disorders with a gargoyle sent to live in exile in a different California desert.
Do you have anything that you want to share with readers, anything out now, or coming soon?
I’m in the middle of a companion novella for Death Valley Blooms! It picks up slightly before the end of Death Valley Blooms and is from a different character’s point of view. I have a beautiful cover created by the incomparable Rose Mayer, who also did the original, and I’ll be releasing the companion story sometime during summer 2026. I’ll be posting updates on bsky and via my author newsletter, which readers can sign up for on my website.

L'#égalité est une loooongue bataille, et ce n'est pas parce qu'il y a eu des avancées que la partie est gagnée.Pour information Kathrine #Switzer a été la 1re femme à concourir officiellement, avec un dossard, et en n'inscrivant que l'initiale de son prénom (laissant penser qu'elle inscrivait un homme).
Bobbi #Gibb fut la toute première, en 1966, mais sans dossard. -
Made a new account with my correct name, so new #inteoduction!
I'm Kathrine, a #trans #CentralFlorida native with 1 spouse, 2 kids, and 3 #cats (Tofu is my current profile pic). I recently came out after questioning my gender for 10+ years.
I work for a very large regional grocery chain in a very small capacity, and have a background in #logistics and #programming. Having #ADHD I'm into all kinds of stuff (I'll probably pin a separate post with current interests).
I migrated from pettingzoo.co, but after they closed down I lost some connections. If you remember following a @[email protected], I'm here now!

Borgerforslag mod industriel svineproduktion i strid med Dyrevelfærdsloven
https://www.borgerforslag.dk/se-og-stoet-forslag/?Id=FT-22400@dyrenesdetektiv opfordrer til at støtte foreslaget, selvom det ikke går langt nok:
https://dyrenesdetektiv.dk/2026/01/14/kaempe-sejr-borgerforslag-mod-industriel-svineproduktion-i-strid-med-dyrevelfaerdsloven/✔️🖊️ Det er fint nok, hvis du støtter og deler det, men problemet er at støtte til såkaldt "dyrevelfærd" bruges til at legitimere dyremishandling. Det bruges af producenterne til at humane-washe deres kødprodukter, og af køberne til at rense deres samvittighed.
🫣🌭 Lad være med at være en hykler, som med din højre hånd underskriver støtteerklæringer for grisenes velfærd, imens du med din venstre hånd fylder munden med pølser lavet af samme grise, eftet de er blevet kvalt i et gaskammer.
🌱📨 @veganguide anbefaler, at du først og fremmest sender en email til stillerne af borgerforslaget, og minder dem om, at det er uforeneligt med andres velfærd at betale for deres henrettelse i gaskammer for at kunne gnaske på deres afdøde krop:

Hello, I need $30 to purchase a guide published by my local SWOP (Sex Workers Outreach Program) chapter
This handbook was published by one of the local members and will help me gain more knowledge to share with other sex workers and clients.
Even a $10 or $15 donation will make the handbook more cost accessible for me, and that $30 goes directly to SWOP!

Very sexy that I've been making less Domme clips because it's been more lucrative to foster one on one sub relationships💅
Every day you don't approach to become a part of my growing horde of submissives is a day wasted.
My time is precious and today's prices will not be tomorrow's!
