In honor of Earth Day, I'd like to announce that I In honor of Earth Day, I'd like to announce that I have a story in the climate-focused anthology WITHOUT BRAKES—FINGERS CROSSED, coming September 2024 from RMFW Press.

This multi-genre short story collection imagines how humanity will navigate landscapes of natural disasters and unpredictable obstacles. In every gripping story, love for family, community, and longing for what was previously considered normal gives people strength to blaze new trails and charge forward—with fingers crossed. Featured works include:

- "Beyond Carbon" by Rachel Delaney Craft
- "Attack of the Third Planet" by Collin Irish
- "Sticka" by Natasha Watts (that's me!)
- "The Cistern" by Mark Stevens
- "We’ll Always Have Peaches" by Ryanne Glenn

....and "The Tamarisk Hunter" by international bestselling author and Colorado resident Paolo Bacigalupi, winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards for science fiction. I'm thrilled to be in such amazing company!
