Sim Kern”s quiet horror novella Depart, Depart! (2020) made the Honor List for the Otherwise Award, and the first installment of their YA sci-fi trilogy, Seeds for the Swarm, is forthcoming November 1st, 2022 from Stelliform Press. As a journalist, they report on petrochemical polluters and roast space billionaires. They are one of the hosts of the Climate Fiction Book Club on You Tube and Instagram, and they tweet @sim_kern. Sim wrote this book and lives on land of the Karankawa and Atakapa-Ishak Nations. White supremacist settlers enacted a terrible genocide to steal this land, which they have since polluted and blighted so catastrophically that less than 0.01% of this coastal prairie ecosystem remains. Sim encourages other white settlers to reckon with our complicity in the ongoing genocide of Native people, pay reparations to local tribes and organizations, and support organizing efforts around #Landback.
