Many of my #solarpunk friends should be interested in this! It delves into the complex relationships between cities and nature, the ways that collective action can help us adapt to climate change, and the “big messy community conversations” we need to have to create policies that actually work.

Tea or Coffee, Stars, & Gravity has received its first review (preorders for the book - aanpress.com/aanorder.htm...) and you can't ask for better than 5 stars. "This anthology has an all-star line-up. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves science fiction with heart, humor, and beauty."

A delicious anthology with four main ingredients: coffee or tea, stars, gravity, and terrific storytelling!

“Lines Between Two Stars” by Ana Sun and “Six Things I Wish I Had Brought from Earth” by Abigail Kemske were both quietly devastating and creative in their heart-break.

I loved Callum and Alexander in Leo Otherland’s “Black Hole Song”. There were several beautiful lines of dialogue that I’m going to bookmark once my hard-copy order comes in.

“Tourist Trash” by Elad Haber has one of the best opening lines I’ve ever read.

I really enjoyed the characters and worldbuilding in “Intergalactic Truck Stop” by Sarena Ulibarri. I looked up the author afterward hoping there was more set in this universe.

There were some really fantastic pieces that played with the structure. For example, there was one story where the POV changed from third to first person to show a lover’s obsessive unraveling. Another story was a list that told a surprisingly rich story.

Overall, every story was exceptional and memorable! This anthology has an all-star line-up. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves science fiction with heart, humor, and beauty.

Teffeau's latest book "Accelerated Growth Environment" featuring two women and a robot in the foreground of a massive artificial habitat full of green growing things with an explosion in the distance. Overlaid on top is the following text: “This gripping eco-mystery is a page turner with a no-nonsense romantic interest, a lovable robot companion, and an extraordinary solarpunk setting.”
