Even after the horrors of the intro scene to Kim Stanley Robinson’s MINISTRY OF THE FUTURE, I’m excited to learn he’s working on a new novel: https://apnews.com/article/kim-stanley-robinson-climate-4477fd3ec163f39957c238601b6bf79c

Thanks to Paul Semel for this interview with Wendy Waring about THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT - from “chichi lettuce” and class vertigo to Paris’ walls, genre-crossing, grief and hope.

Superheroes fight and the climate pays. Dr. Christopher's new patients show therapy is hard but saving Earth is worse. https://inkican.com/emergency-reality-shelter-science-fiction-short-stories/superhero-shrink-climate-change-scifi-short-story/ #SciFi #ClimateFiction #Superhero
What does legacy mean when the world is at a tipping point? On John Scalzi’s blog, Wendy Waring shares her Big Idea, tracing the journey that transformed The Hunger of Those Who Built It into a novel of climate crisis, sisterhood, & the worlds we build for those who follow.

Publication day is here! Wendy Waring’s THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT is now available everywhere books are sold. Good Reading calls it “seductively spellbinding” and declares, “Debuts aren’t supposed to be this good.” We couldn’t agree more.

From the British Fantasy Society:
Inspired by anxiety over how the climate crisis might affect the places she loves, eco horror and cli-fi author Anna Orridge channelled Time Team to create her latest tale. She tells us more about Parch Marks, out now through GoldSF.

The title is the warning. This Strange Horizons review places Wendy Waring’s novel squarely in our moment of wealth inequality -- when we must decide who our society serves, what we owe one another, and what kind of future we will build.

UPDATE: ghost didn't work well for me. Few people actually got the newsletter. For now continuing w mchimp till I find something that works! (Sign-up on my site)

Friends, I moved my newsletter from mailchimp to ghost to use the least fascist platform I could find!
Had to manually move my list over. I'll be sending a new newsletter (not the same as my blog posts) by week's end.

Superheroes can smash a moon. But can they face burnout? Dr. Christopher treats capes as people struggling with guilt, fear, and a climate mess no power can punch. The masks are real. So is the damage. https://inkican.com/emergency-reality-shelter-science-fiction-short-stories/superhero-shrink-climate-change-scifi-short-story/ #SciFi #ClimateFiction #ShortStory
Much gratitude for Christine Higdon and her kind words for Wendy Waring's THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT. "Waring brings us a suspenseful, intelligent, and hopeful tale about climate action and who reaps its benefits. This is a book for our times.”
There's still time to get your pre-order in!

Seit ziemlich genau 10 Jahren bin ich Autorin. Grund genug, zurückzuschauen und Revue passieren zu lassen, was literarisch so alles passiert ist.
Als 4. Roman veröffentlichte ich „Pantopia“ bei Fischer Tor.

About the art process behind my book covers…and a question...
I began abstract painting around 2015–2016 after many years of realistic pen and ink sketching connected to my architectural work. Over time, colour, geometry, and nature shifted my practice toward abstraction.
In 2022, I gave an artist talk at the Lundt‑Glover Gallery in Chatham, NJ, hosted by the Art League of the Chathams, where I discussed my work at the time, including digital developments in NFTs and my decision not to pursue that direction.
Later that year, I began the 27‑painting series that my current ecofiction trilogy covers are based on, using four panels from that show as the starting point for the newer work.
Three good things:
1. Making art.
2. Sharing art.
3. Selling art to pay for more art supplies!!!
Watch the full 38‑minute talk here: https://youtu.be/X400L4JI-LQ
The piece shown, Wellness, was part of the solo show and later became the cover for our ASEI Arts international charity anthology, Anthology House Vol. 2, created to benefit UNICEF.
A question for my art and book lover peeps here: when you think about art and the art of book covers, what lights you up, what inspires you, and what are you drawn to reach out for?

"I was riveted by this all-too-believable tale of post-apocalyptic struggle between corporate overlords and undercover radicals, which also manages to work as a heartfelt family drama and a love letter to Paris.” Gratitude to Emma Donoghue for her kind words about Wendy Waring's debut!
Stay tuned for upcoming events for The Hunger of Those Who Built it, including the official book launch happening at The City & The City in Hamilton on September 10, 7-9pm.
I made a 'The Sims 3' Post Containment Neighborhood. Sunset Valley has been wiped out by storms, floods, and fire. Survivors are living in the scorched hillside and Jared Frio is pissing sims off with his 3 am guitar sessions. How will the town pick up the pieces and avoid blaming Big Sim Oil? #thesims #climatefiction
RE: https://mastodon.social/@TinJar/116632081075654830
We seem to be getting numb to the climate change driven disasters killing thousands around the world. However, we need to act quickly to not just end GHG emissions but also move masses from already deadly places to relatively safer ones. We need explore new ideas to do this via both fiction and nonfiction. “A New Faith” is one such effort.

I just posted a new MKBC Studio video introducing my ecofiction trilogy: The Erenwine Agenda, Otter Coast, and Rail. It includes the new covers, the artwork behind each design, and short live readings from all three books. This one was fun to make and brings together architecture, landscape, memory, and environmental storytelling.
If you enjoy ecofiction, design thinking, or interdisciplinary work, you might like this look at how the trilogy came together.

Wtem! Nowa notka na blogu, choć tak naprawdę to nie taka nowa, bo była praktycznie gotowa już w marcu i nie pamiętam, czemu jej wtedy nie wrzuciłem (a potem Działy Się Rzeczy).
W każdym razie, piszę o zbiorze opowiadań "The Other Shore" Rebekki Campbell (wyd. @StelliformPress ) o którym dowiedziałem się z Mastodona (choć autorkę znam z "Nowej Fantastyki"). Ogólnie bardzo dobra rzecz, nie tylko dla tych zainteresowanych ekologią i klimatem (bo też nie wszystkie opowiadania skupiają się na tych tematach) - to po prostu dobra fantastyka (SF, weird fiction, odrobina horroru, może nawet i fantasy czy rzeczy które ciężko zaklasyfikować).
