I received a congratulations DM earlier today informing me ‘In the Storm, A Fire has been longlisted for the 2020 BSFA Award for Short Fiction.

Cowritten with Andrew Dana Hudson. It’s a story that contrasts Solarpunk’s vision of beautiful, dirty, solidaritistic, environmentalism/climate survival with ecofascist unsolutions.

Its packed full of ideas about cyberpunk interfaces, generational politics, high-tech policing, religious schisms, snapchat demagogues. Permaculture retrosuburbia, communities of resistance forced to play power politics with fash gangs in order to survive.


Published late in 2020. The anthology: ‘And Lately, The Sun: Speculative fictions for a climate-thrashed world‘ is still newly out in the world. I know several reading groups are working their way though the collection at the moment.

Kindle Store:
US KINDLE STORE: And Lately, The Sun
UK KINDLE STORE: And Lately, The Sun

Smashwords Store currently 40% off (use code XB95Y)

Voting for the shortlist is open for BSFA members, and will close on the 5th of February 2021.

If you are thejaymo.net reader, and BSFA member. Please keep ‘In the Storm, A Fire‘ in mind when voting starts.

Thanks!
