2026 AURORA AWARDS NOMINEE
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.
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!
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.
I’m also 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!!
