A Change of Place

My newest fantasy novel from DAW Books is out!!!
Welcome back to Marrowdell, a magical valley of
family and pie, dragons and, yes, house toads. All seems well.
The toad queen has other ideas. She’s waited a long time for just the right moment, this spring’s equinox, when everything will be ready for her to make her move against the edge.

2024 is a wrap!

My thanks to all who came out to meet me during my tour for the new book. I’m happily hunkering down now to write the next!

Canadian, biologist, award-winning and now CSFFA Hall of Fame author/editor, Julie E. Czerneda has shared her curiosity about living things and optimism about life through her science fiction and fantasy, published by DAW Books, NY. With her partner Roger Czerneda, she lives in a small town outside Ottawa, Ontario, in a grand century home with plenty of room for her books and his photographs. When not walking along the river or wilding their yard, they’ll be off to canoe Algonquin Park, their happy place.
Julie is represented by Sara Megibow of Megibow Literary Agency.

My First Collection

We celebrated my 25th anniversary in fiction and DAW with a collection of my short stories for you. I’ve added notes to each and, bonus? There’s an all-new Night’s Edge novella! Cover and interior design by Roger H. Czerneda.

My Latest SF

To Each This World
To Each This World

I went big in my latest science fiction standalone (my new aliens included) to explore what I find most intimate and precious about us. Community. Curiosity and imagination. Above all, the drive to understand what isn’t us at all.

Back to Marrowdell!
