Why I’m Doing This
Giving my stuff away – like GSBCW – is hard work and fosters community through shared experiences. Here, individuals from diverse backgrounds can connect without financial barriers, reaffirming our shared humanity and creating meaningful bonds through the simple act of reading together amidst a backdrop of social and economic uncertainties.
My stories are ‘power-ups for people playing life on hard mode.’ I want EVERY weird, nerdy kid to feel they have an ally, to feel accepted and that their dreams are accessible. I do that at scale by telling stories. I can’t save the world – so, I tell stories as a kind gesture in a cruel time. STEM-based scifi helps the weird, nerdy kids know that IT’S COOL TO BE A WEIRD NERD. Weird nerds are cool – The world needs weird nerds.
My storytelling philosophy is pretty simple: Science fiction should contain some ACTUAL science – where tinkering, hacking, curiosity and discovery intersect with social-emotional connection. I’ve created a space for silent reading, a virtual setting that feels cozy, and home-like. For a brief period – we can feel like we belong.
You Are Not Alone
Read in silence – enjoy the companionship. Moxie will be participating as my Author Cat – she’ll be reading Cat-Alogs! Her favorite are Mizzen and Meow, and Purr Collection.
