Meet the Protagonist

Meet Zion. 🌌 A gladiator fighting to survive in an algorithm-driven dystopia, Zion is not your typical hero. When he discovers he holds the key to unlocking the world-changing Infinite Algorithm, he must decide: save humanity or become consumed by the same system that enslaved it.

What do you think Zion’s biggest challenge will be—the rogue AI that governs his world or the ghosts of his past?

Two copies of a book, one standing and one laying on its side. Orange, shiny hardbacks with concentric circles across the cover and the sides of the pages. Title in white: Solarpunk: Short Stories from Many Futures, Edited by Francesco Verso. Below the title, a circle containing a bee.Picture of a book page held open. Text: The Spiral Ranch, Sarena Ulibarri. Two cows were missing from the Spiral Ranch. Piper tapped the Pasture 7 control screen and activated the LASSO app to check the headcount against her wrist unit. The app confirmed: two fewer than yesterday. She swiped over to the com and dialed Pasture 3.  
“Hey, Jayce.”
His voice came through the speaker a moment later. “Yes’m.” 
“You have any extra cows over there?”
“Uh, no ma’am.”
“Any missing?”
“Don’t reckon so. Why, what’s up?”
Piper pushed her hat back from her sweaty brow and scratched her head. “No reason.”
They’d rotated the herd up from Pasture 6 three days before, and all the cattle had been accounted for then. Piper hefted herself up onto the wall—an inward-bowing lip that let in fresh air and sunlight but kept the cattle

About 7 months ago, I approached Premee Mohamed to see if she would write a climate fiction story for Grist, which would be published outside of the #Imagine2200 contest.

She sent in this delightful piece about a young woman getting separated from her nomadic city during a storm. It was a joy for me to edit this story, and now everyone can read it!

I have a new story out in military spec fic magazine Bullet Points. The Sound of War is about hidden scars, what we’ll risk to hang onto who we are, & two soldiers fighting aliens in a barren land.

It’s a little bit Starship Troopers, if that’s your bag – monstrous opponents, the grind of soldiering, & the hint that maybe the folks who sent you to die don’t have your best interests at heart.
