Kirkus reviews THEย GATEPOST It's always touch-and-go when it comes to the big trade publications that specialize in forthcoming books. Will they review the book, and if so, will the review be positive? It's quite important too, because these publications are influential with librarians and booksellers, and can be leading indicators regarding the potential success of new books out in the marketplace.

THE AFTERLIFE PROJECT out in the world: a new review & a climate fictionย roundtable So pleased to see that this book continues to have momentum out in the world! Very much appreciate this brilliantly written new book review from All Our Yesterdays, an innovative site keeping track of the recent and not-so-recent history of climate landmarks, climate action, and the sordid and continuing history of denialism on this planet. You can access the entire review here. Here's a quick excerpt: "The lush narration within The Afterlife Project conjures smells, sounds, textures, and visuals of a planet that should be, of soil that we should long to kneel upon, of animals that deserve to live unfettered by the whims of humans.

Oaxaca Writers Workshop: applications nowย open Iโ€™m thrilled to announce that I'll be leading a new writers' workshop and craft masterclass in Oaxaca, November 14-21, 2026! If you're writing in any genre, consider giving yourself the gift of a week-long generative workshop and craft masterclass in this very spectacular corner of the world. In addition to the writing focus weโ€™ll be doing plenty off-the-beaten track exploration of the areaโ€™s amazing artistic, archaeological, natural, and gustatory riches, and weโ€™ll have parallel activities during the daily writing workshop for non-writer friends and significant others, such as hands-on cooking and/or Spanish classes.

Thank you!

Facing the end of the illusion that humans are not part of nature; that we havenโ€™t from our very emergence as a species been embedded in the life of this beautiful 4.5 billion year-old planet. This would be a timely and necessary paradigm shift.
