Aurora Award Ceremony August 9th!
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

Anniversary 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.
Standalone Science Fiction
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.
Award Nominee!
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.)
Happy 2026!
Summertime and the living is wonderful. I’m splitting my time between finishing my new novel (secret!) and enjoying the outdoors. Canoeing, picnic, swimming, gardening. Yup, it’s great and I hope you’re enjoying too! (Or keeping cozy if in the southern half of the planet.)
I’m honoured and excited to have A Shift of Time on the Aurora Award ballot for Best Novel of 2025. It’s the boost every writer needs and I’m very grateful to my readers for the nomination. Fingers crossed!! Here’s the link to catch the live (virtual) ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMO5oUJ4zjE August 9th, 5 pm Eastern.
