Book 4 of my Night’s Edge series sees the turn-born of the Verge endangered while forces of dark magic meddle in Ansnor. Will Jenn and Bannan, with the help of their friends, prevail?
(Well, yes, but trust me, you won’t see the “how” coming…oh, and there are tiny Highland cows. Honest.)

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
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.
Happy 2026!
Spring is here! (Northern Hemisphere) It’s time for all my biologist/naturalist instincts to kick into high gear–which includes a great deal of dashing outside going “you’re back!” to various living things.
It’s not bad for writing. Overall, I’m atingle with inspiration and, to be honest, there’s enough days of mud/rain/chilly ahead to make it easy to stay inside and write…while dreaming I’ll soon be writing OUTSIDE!
