Join me online for this free panel discussion. I write climate fiction from the inside out—not as a distant political warning, but as a deeply human reckoning. Climate fiction compels us because it's the one genre where the stakes are already real—we don't have to suspend disbelief, we just have to pay attention. When the Trees All Burned doesn't ask what if the world ends? —it asks who are you when it does? Set against a catastrophe decades in the making (rising oceans, destabilized tectonic plates, a planet pushed past its tipping point), the story follows the 200 people chosen to survive inside a survival dome while 99.998% of humanity doesn't. I'm interested in the intersection of environmental collapse and moral complicity—the question of who gets saved and why, and the uncomfortable truth that resilience looks a lot like grief before it looks like hope. I'll be bringing the messy, literary, human side of the reckoning to this panel: the part that happens after the scientists stop talking.
