For those of us regretfully missing WorldCon, today E.G. Condé read from his forthcoming novella, CACIQUES, and revealed the new cover. We're thrilled to work with artist Paulina Niño again to create another stunning cover for this follow-up to the award-winning SORDIDEZ.

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).

“The thing is, May," the hum said, "the goal of advertising is to rip a hole in your heart so it can then fill that hole with plastic, or with any other materials that can be yanked out of the earth and, after brief sojourns as objects of desire, be converted to waste.” #climatefiction #fiction #sciencefiction https://www.helencphillips.com/hum

Wildfires. Smoke-filled skies. Microplastics in our water. Oil and gas pushing farther into the Arctic and toward the poles.

The Draconim series was never written as prediction. It was written because the warning signs were already here.

Four books. Four environmental crises. Young people, communities and ancient dragons refusing to accept that nothing can change.

Publishers Weekly has released a nice review for THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT, which is Wendy Waring's literary solarpunk novel coming in September. It's solarpunk but make it darker - think Emily St. John Mandel x Kim Stanley Robinson in a gritty future Paris. https://www.publishersweekly.com/9781998466054

Byłem na otwarciu... znaczy się, na premierze antologii "Fikcja klimatyczna w Polsce" od Magazyn Biały Kruk na Bazyliszku. I czułem się trochę jakby przeniesiono mnie z powrotem do 2019. Sala - nie ta największa w "Alternatywach", ale wciąż - wypełniona po brzegi ludźmi, których obchodzi problem klimatu i dyskutują, co z nim zrobić, jak o nim mówić i pisać. Bardzo przyjemne doświadczenie, zwłaszcza po przebywaniu przez parę dni u rodziców (to jest ta frakcja polskich "katolików", dla których większym autorytetem zdaje się być Cejrowski niż papież, zwłaszcza ten poprzedni). Tak, wiem, że to bańka, goście i odwiedzający Bazyliszka wydają się być po jednej stronie spektrum politycznego, a tym bardziej, ci, którzy przychodzą na panele i prelekcje o klimacie, ale wciąż.

Antologia jak widać zażarła. Dzień po premierze miałem prelekcję o polskim climate fiction i przy okazji zachęciłem do podejścia na stanowisko Wydawnictwo IX po papierową wersję i od widowni dowiedziałem się, że już się skończyły. Oczywiście wersja pdf dalej wisi na stronie Białego Kruka za darmo, więc zachęcam do ściągnięcia. Wersja papierowa ma się chyba pojawić jeszcze na niektórych konwentach i w sklepie Wydawnictwa IX (na razie nie widzę), więc zachęcam do śledzenia Białego Kruka.

Sama prelekcja wyszła chyba całkiem nieźle, mimo że publiczność była dość niewielka (za to zaangażowana - sporo komentarzy od @Leszek_Karlik
). Po fakcie zorientowałem się, że zupełnie zapomniałem wspomnieć o "Dzieciach jednej pajęczycy" Olgi Niziołek, a także planowanej antologii "Solarpunk" od wydawnictwa Abyssos - co w sytuacji, kiedy polskie climate fiction to 5 książek na krzyż, trochę robi różnicę.

[1/2]
