I’m a Bay Area science fiction author and feminist essayist. My debut novel, The Book of the Unnamed Midwife, won the Philip K. Dick Award and was listed as a recommended work by the James A. Tiptree Award Committee. The book was also included in the 100 Best Books of the Year list by Publisher’s Weekly, and the same list issued by Amazon. I have published essays and short fiction with McSweeney’s, The Establishment, Everyday Feminism, Tor.com, LitHub, Motherboard, Compelling Science Fiction, and many other outlets. I’m part of the writer’s room for The Mess, an East Bay sketch comedy group. My second novel, The Book of Etta, will be released by 47North just before the JoCo Cruise, and I'd like to do a reading from my new book for my fellow floating nerds.
