Our next story is The Long Good Night of Violet Wild.

And is by Catherine M. Valenti.

Catherine is the New York Times best-selling author of over a dozen works of fiction and poetry, including

The Palumsestest, The Orphans Tale Series, Deathless, and the crowd-funded phenomenon,

the girl who circumnavigated Farland and a ship of her own making.

She is the winner of the André Norton, Tiptree, Mythopoeic, Reesling, Lambda, Locust and Hugo Awards. She has been a finalist for the

Nebula in World Fantasy Awards and she lives on an island off the coast of Maine

with her partner and several alarmingly large beasts.

Her newest adult novel, Radians, will be published by Tor Books in August.
