Book cover for Space Trucker Jess by Matthew Kressel. An enormous high tech space station in striking red, blue, and yellow colors, with lots of industrial equipment and machinery, orbits above a planet. There are tiny spaceships in the background to give the sense of the space station's enormous scale. The book title Space Trucker Jess hovers over the space station in the foreground. In the bottom third is the name of the book's author, Matthew Kressel, on a yellow background.
I'm super excited to reveal the cover of my far-future science fiction novel, SPACE TRUCKER JESS, coming this June from Fairwood Press. Art by Paul Chadeisson. More info and full cover spread here: fairwoodpress.com/store/p181/S...

A lot of people here who consider themselves progressive should take some time to decide whether they're going to spend the next four years picking niggling side fights and out-lefting the person one inch to their right, or making common cause against bigotry, cruelty, and authoritarianism.
