Couple brief updates. It's been a busy month.
I dd a guest post over on the World Weaver Press blog about Coober Pedy, the real-life inspiration for my Glass and Gardens story.
And I just realized I have stories in SIX anthologies coming out in the second half of the year! What! I'm not sure I've announced them all here, but here they are. I'll put up more details on my stories when they get closer.
Brave New Girls: Tales of Heroines Who Hack
Love & Bubbles
Battling in All Her Finery: Tales of Women Who Rule
Unidentified Funny Objects 7
We Shall Be Monsters
From a Cat's View

Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers is Published!
Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers, featuring my story Riot of the Wind and Sun, is published!
Solarpunk is a type of optimistic science fiction that imagines a future founded on renewable energies. The seventeen stories in this volume are not dull utopias—they grapple with real issues such as the future and ethics of our food sources, the connection between technology and nature, and the interpersonal conflicts that arise no matter how peaceful the world is. In these pages you’ll find a guerilla art installation in Milan, a murder mystery set in a weather manipulation facility, and a world where you are judged by the glow of your solar nanite implants. From an opal mine in Australia to the seed vault at Svalbard, from a wheat farm in Kansas to a crocodile ranch in Malaysia, these are stories of adaptation, ingenuity, and optimism for the future of our world and others. For readers who are tired of dystopias and apocalypses, these visions of a brighter future will be a breath of fresh air.
I'm always honored to be included in an anthology, but it's especially exciting because solarpunk is such a new genre. We're building it as we go, and my little Australian opal mines are forever going to be a part of the genre's infancy.

T-Minus Less Than Two Weeks!
Anachronism comes out in less than two weeks. It feels like it's happening so fast and so slowly at the same time. I submitted the first version of the manuscript two years ago!
I didn't talk about my acceptance much at first because some part of my brain didn't want to get its hopes up in case it fell through for some reason? But it's happening and everyone at Kristell/Grimbold has been amazing.
Since my character Petra is the president in the future, we made these campaign posters to promote the book. (And my editor made the second one into pins!)
And this is my villain, Zachary Davenport, a time traveling assassin with moderately attractive eyebrows and plans for chaos. He's absolutely evil and I love him. He's a blast to write for and I hope everyone will love to hate him. (And maybe feel a little nervous around sunflowers?)
You can pre-order the ebook here (dead tree version coming soon): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38824805-anachronism and add it on Goodreads: https://www.amazon.com/Anachronism-Jennifer-Lee-Rossman-ebook/dp/B07B53G3JJ/
(Also, Glass and Gardens got a great review at Publisher's Weekly: https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-9987022-7-8)

Reviews!
Today I'm sharing links to some recent reviews of my work.
First is a review of Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers, featuring my story Riot of the Wind and Sun.
The reviewer was less than enthused by the book (which is available for preorder in ebook here and paperback here), but they describe my story as "pleasant, if undramatic" and I want that on a t-shirt. It sums up my life so well.

Then there's this review of Earth Music (free to read at Syntax & Salt), which is very positive.

Finally, a review of Do-overs and the other stories on the GlitterShip podcast this month. I'm so happy people are enjoying this story in particular because it's one of my absolute favorites.

It's still so bizarre that people I don't know are actually reading and reviewing my work, but I love it.

Two Anthology Announcements!
Good morning, everyone!
I am pleased to have not one but TWO announcements today!
First, the ten authors whose stories will be in Love & Bubbles have been announced on Jaylee James's blog: http://jayleejames.com/love-bubbles/
I feel very protective and maternal towards these authors. They are my babies now and I will do anything for them.
And I may be fangirling about getting to work with one or two of them.
Depending on how the Kickstarter goes, we could add up to seven more authors to this list.
And second, I'm going to be in another World Weaver Press anthology!
Glass Gardens: Solarpunk Summers is edited by Sarena Ulibarri, and will feature hopeful stories set in an ecologically-minded future.
My story is Riot of the Wind and Sun, which is set in the same futuristic Australian town as Always, Always, my story in When You're Strange.
Always is super dark while Riot is bright and happy and set about a hundred years later. They both take place in my futuristic Coober Pedy, and while there are continuity issues that prevent me from truly calling them prequel and sequel, I like to think they could exist in the same world. Like Tress and Voltaire's struggles in Always somehow led to the opportunity and hope of Kirra in Riot.
Lots of projects! Looks like I'll be busy this year.
