gonna turn off the phone now and pretend like this is the only thing happening for the rest of the day 💖
"The Wildcraft Drones weaves the many realities of a world where the soil, technology, wild creatures, and wild people collaborate on communicating through and past the bounds of language. When evolution is the only constant, these stories insist on centering the protection of those on the margins of power concentration. A reminder that if we do not see ourselves as part of the collective, we lose the tools to save ourselves." — Shingai Njeri Kagunda, Ignyte award-winning author of & This Is How To Stay Alive
We are excited to share this beautiful blurb from Shingai Njeri Kagunda, Ignyte winning author of & This Is How To Stay Alive. Thank you Shingai!
The Wildcraft Drones have now infiltrated the printer and are befriending it and convincing it to join the rewilding revolution. We wish them success <3
Just found this review by @marissalingen.bsky.social , thank you so much!
"we really do need stories about doing the best we can with what we’ve got"
I agree! And yes, setting can (and I think should!) be a character :)

Thank you so much @renanbernardo.com ! One of my favorite solarpunk authors
"The Wildcraft Drones is a brilliant glimpse into a future we desire. T. K. Rex's prose is magnificent and her characters feel real all the time. The stories in this collection are varied and encompass a wide spectrum of climate fiction and solarpunk, but what they hold in common is a lingering feeling of hope and resistance. You can read this collection just for fun, but you will be getting much more than fun: a sense of climate justice and of shared humanity. Some wealthy people seem to be reading dystopias as rulebooks of how to run the world. Instead, I'd say for people to read The Wildcraft Drones as a rulebook of how to live in community and find a healthy path to our future." Renan Bernard, Nebula finalist author of Disgraced Return of the Kap's Needle
Renan Bernardo gifted these lovely words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. "Wealthy people seem to be reading dystopias as rulebooks ... Instead, I'd say for people to read The Wildcraft Drones as a rulebook of how to live in community and find a healthy path to our future." Thanks, Renan!
A WEIRD FISHES game??! Yes please!
Brief Ecology reviewed WHAT A FISH LOOKS LIKE in this month's ecofiction review! "Beker queers the format as much as the characters here, and the result is a love story that skips across time and space."
I've had so many compliments about the cover art of my book. The artist is Julia Louise Pereira: julialouisepereira.com It's very inspired by one of my favorite movies, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
The Wildcraft Drones drops May 21 @stelliform.press
Screenshot from Otherwise Awards page showing my book, What A Fish Looks Like on the Honor list, with a tiny description of the book beginning: A delightfully metafictional book of (recast) fairytales set in a deteriorating landscape punctuated by impending doom. Full text at Otherwisewiseaward.org.
What A Fish Looks Like out of @stelliform.press is an @otherwiseaward.org honor list!!! Along with some really incredible books. I feel so very honored to be on this list!

I had a blast chatting with folks about my 🐚🪶🛶Taínofuturism book SORDIDEZ & how science fiction storytelling can blueprint better futures for Puerto Ricans. 🇵🇷👊🏼 My hero Vero Díaz is a transmasc reporter turned indigenous revolutionary in a near-future Borikén dealing with climate change. #booksky
“Thoughtful and funny, tender and bracing, these stories (and comics!) weave together into a potent vision of the crises we face and the strange and beautiful futures we might build on the other side. An essential text for any solarpunk’s bookshelf!” Andrew Dana Hudson, author of Our Shared Storm: A Novel of Five Climate Futures and Absence
We're grateful today to Andrew Dana Hudson for these generous words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. “Thoughtful and funny, tender and bracing ... An essential text for any solarpunk’s bookshelf!”
What are you grateful for this first Monday of spring?
"Drawing from a deep well of empathy for each hapless, stumbling character in this collection, Rex has created a possible future for us that feels so vividly realized it at times felt as though I were witnessing actual memories from lives fully lived." Thank you Mia! 🙏
Thanks for checking out some Stelliform books!
I'm also happy to be tagged because I learned through your post about Xenobe Purvis' THE HOUNDING which looks like just the thing I want to read right now. Witchy historical fiction with greyhounds on the cover, yes please!
That's the plan, but the books are delayed. Unfortunately I don't have an updated timeline.
I meant every word I said.
T.K.'s book comes out in May. Pre-orders are love, as you know.
Thank you for this wonderful blurb @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social !
"T.K. Rex’s gentle prose is dense with sly humor, sharp metaphor, and an abiding love for the natural world. These stories challenge us by showing us the logical conclusion of late-stage capitalism – spiraling natural disasters, a mushrooming police state – but they also show the endless promise of resistance and hope, of love and lust, of rewilding and regrowth. These characters – both human and adorable drone – will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading (and re-reading) this visionary book."
Shoutout to Cynthia Gómez for these wonderful words about THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. "These stories challenge us by showing us the logical conclusion of late-stage capitalism – spiraling natural disasters, a mushrooming police state – but they also show the endless promise of resistance and hope."
Highly recommend @neonhemlock.bsky.social @stelliform.press Small Beer, @swanriverpress.bsky.social @blackshuckbooks.bsky.social

“They gave me hope and made me laugh” is all I’ve ever wanted to hear from my readers, and hearing it from Kim Stanley Robinson is such an honor. Thanks Stan!!
I do want to say that my criteria for picking these books was to start from my 100 Trans Books I Love list and choose only books that had 0-1 responses so far, and I have A LOT OF FEELINGS about various books not included on this list.
(see the rest of the books ⬇️)
“Creating together a good Anthropocene is going to take persistence, resilience, wit, tolerance, love, and technology. These exciting stories combine all these values, and give us a much-needed vision of how things could turn out well, despite the many dangers we are facing. They gave me hope and made me laugh— what a great mix!” — Kim Stanley Robinson, author of The Ministry for the Future
Huge thanks to Kim Stanley Robinson for these generous words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. “These exciting stories...give us a much-needed vision of how things could turn out well, despite the many dangers we are facing. They gave me hope and made me laugh— what a great mix!”
My publisher emailed me this today, it’s a review?? Of a book?!? That I wrote ?!?!?!! 😳🫣😮

Promo collage for the Happy Endings reading series. There’s a potato sprouting, someone dancing in ragged clothes, the rear end of a dog, some glitchy textures, a moist mushroom, a child crawling around, and the cutout block text “Happy Endings”. Oh and bones. And fur. It’s all faded together so it has a unified atmospheric look.
I’ll be at the Make-Out Room in San Francisco with Happy Endings this Tuesday, 7:15pm, reading from my forthcoming collection The Wildcraft Drones (out May 21 from @stelliform.press ). The theme is “going feral” 🌿
How about ammolite? 😂
