from DAW Books!
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.
More Marrowdell!
Jenn Nalynn. The truthseer, Bannan Larmensu. House toads galore and, of course, the return of Wisp, a most-opinionated dragon. Those you (and I) loved from A Turn of Light are back, with more wonder, wild magic, and surprises!
News! I’ll be at the South Keys Indigo with Kate Heartfield, Marko Arizanovic, Kevin Hearne, and James Lackie April 6th noon-3 pm. YES there will be TOAD SWAG!
My March
I’m going over galleys, the final “these are the book pages” step for A Shift of Time. It looks wonderful, reads well (thanks to my DAW editor, Madeline Goldberg) and I’m very proud. The book gets in your hands July 22, 2025!!
Meanwhile, my spring and summer involve writing my next novel of Night’s Edge. And gardening. Camping prep, oh yes, because despite the snow cover, the birds are returning. Love this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere!
