Opinions of a Wolf

I’m thrilled to announce the publication of my scifi short story “The Crooked Tree of Algrüsti” in the anthology This Is Your Bike on Plants: Fantastical Feminist Stories of Bicycling, Gardens, and Growth—edited by Elly Blue and published by Microcosm Press. You can grab a copy on Amazon, directly from the publisher, or at many other bookstores.

About the collection:

The revolution will be green, growing, and non-motorized.

When you plant the seeds of bicycle revolution, you never know what the future will grow. These 12 stories form a splendid garden of potential futures, from the speculative to the surreal—all powered by bicycles, grounded in feminism, and blossoming with creativity.

In these pages you’ll find activist trees, magical flowers, feminist fairy tales, climate parables, photosynthesizing human-bicycle cyborgs, revolutionary elves, dazzling space gardens, green witchcraft, and more to delight your imagination. Lovers of cli-fi, solarpunk, hopepunk, and feminist bicycle science fiction will all find something to love here. You’ll never see the streets, or plants, around you the same way again.

About my story:

Celosia moved to the frigid planet of Algrüsti to escape the omnipresence of plants and their sentient relatives, the Morts. But when her new friend unexpectedly leaves the planet, Celosia is left in charge of an unanticipated botanical garden—and must confront her past in the process.

My story touches on themes of friendship, grief, addiction, and recovery—all with a love for plants and music.

I’m so proud to be part of this collection, and I hope you’ll check it out! Please also visit my Publications Page for more of my work.
