I'm very taken with Proud Pink Sky by @redfern . And, Refern, I'm wondering if it would not only be what you call Ambitopia, but also what my friend Cameron Roberson calls #solarpunk noir.
I haven't yet finished the novel--about 75% in. No spoilers!!!

I'll be on 3 panels at Philcon this weekend. Two adjacent to #climate fiction and #solarpunk , which are my jam. If you're in the Philly (US) area, join us.
ps After 2 Witchcamps and Quasar this Fall, I'm looking forward to a few months without events! This is last one of the season for me.

I love bringing #solarpunk to #Witches.
This weekend I'm teaching at Worldwide Witchcamp (an online camp in the #activist Reclaiming Tradition). Some knew of solarpunk. Most didn't. We have folx from Turtle Island and so-called Australia in the class.
Last week I was at an in-person Witchcamp in Texas (Turtle Island) offering the same delicious work.
Reclaiming Trad is so solarpunk anyway, I'm just making the connections.

Since THE WORKING was recently selected by @sarenaulibarri as one of the five "best" (worth reading) #solarpunk books, thought I'd remind everyone that the novel contains tools for #resilience & agency, and I donate all royalties to #climate #justice organizations.

@fivebooks I'm delighted that @sarenaulibarri includes THE WORKING among the 5 best #solarpunk books. βοΈ π
>>> It's next to @pluralistic 's The Lost Cause = triple delighted!
I also loved @r_emrys A Half-Built Garden and look forward to reading Implanted by Lauren Teffeau and Neon Riders by @AEMarling

I just published some short fiction about a future shaped by AI and what it meant for creativity.
It explores a world where AI perfects artistic generation and the unexpected consequences for human artists and expression.

Some #witches use the term #necromancy broadly: communicating with Ancestors. Thus, the coven in my #solarpunk contemporary #fantasy THE WORKING are necromancers (as are Witches in general).
Hope you'll read it--as a reviewer said, the story is a blueprint for creating the futures we desire!

A reminder for today (and tomorrow and...)
My novel The Working contains tools for resilience & agency.
And ways to fight oligarchies and those who harm.
I wrote it as an offering towards changing the world. (+ I'm continuing to donate all royalties to #justice and #climate orgs)

I was {{tickled}} to find this podcast dropped yesterday. I hope you'll listen.
We talked about so much! #solarpunk #fantasy #magic #Witchcraft and hosts Alan and Diane gave such wonderful praise for my novel, The Working!
Listening to this gave me a much-needed lift. Enjoy!
-
Wanted to lift this offering again as so many of us are struggling (I'm no exception):
An antidote for now. Tools to help you feel your agency and power, and to feel connected with others. Tools to help you ground.
All this in my novel, The Working.
Plus, I'll continue donating all royalties thru June to #climate justice groups.

#PennedPossibilities 551: MC POV: If you could have one talent or ability that you donβt naturally have, what would it be?
Genius talents for physics and math would be nice. Maybe I could get home from this alternate timeline I'm stranded in.
Failing that, could you hook me up with the genes that give women electric shock powers here? It's... um... tough for dudes in this universe.

OK, Mastodon, we're doing this, #novelmber is a go!
Because I'm a dirty cheater, I already started on the manuscript (so far, 39209 words). I made a little identity card for the #WIP. Going to be #SciFi, going to be a bit rough at places, but I think it's going to be a good read when it's done (and edited). Does it sound like something any of you would like to read when it's done? Keep around. I may post some snippets and updates if this crazy month allows me to.

Good morning, Mastodon.

@JordanBlaze The people in my group all write in different genres, but we read in all of them. I personally would have a tough time reading or appreciating the nuances of say, horror, for instance.
So I'd start with compatible people, compatible genres. My group is international, but small. We meet via Zoom (Though finding a time was challenging)
