SUMMARY:Exploring a Future\, Changing the Past (Sci-fi/Fantasy)
DESCRIPTION:*All events are FREE\, but we do ask that you please register so that we can monitor attendance and venue capacity.* \nScience Fiction and fantasy explore new worlds; some are light years away or hundreds of years in the future\, some are new perspectives on our shared past. They can be intimate stories of a single person or sprawling narratives of an entire culture. Three writers talk about what drew them to the genre and what continues to thrill them. With MONICA BYRNE\, T FROHOCK\,and CADWELL TURNBULL.Hosted by JL HERNDON. \nMONICA BYRNE is a novelist\, playwright\, and screenwriter who resides in North Carolina. Her first novel\, The Girl in the Road\, received the 2015 Otherwise Award\, and her second novel\, The Actual Star\, was published in September 2021. \nT FROHOCK has turned a love of history and dark fantasy into tales of deliciously creepy fiction. She is the author of Miserere: An Autumn Tale\, and the Los Nefilim series from Harper Voyager. Her works\, Where Oblivion Lives and Carved from Stone and Dream\, were both short-listed for the Manly Wade Wellman award in 2020 and 2021 respectively. A native North Carolinian\, T. has long been accused of telling stories\, which is a southern colloquialism for lying. \nCADWELL TURNBULL is the author of The Lesson and No Gods\, No Monsters. His short fiction has appeared in The Verge\, Lightspeed\, Nightmare\, Asimov’s Science Fiction and several anthologies\, including The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2018 and The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2019.

The novel was also shortlisted for the VCU Cabell Award and longlisted for the Massachusetts Book Award. His latest novel No Gods\, No Monsters was longlisted for the Pen Open Book Award. Turnbull lives in Raleigh and teaches at North Carolina State University. \n\nJL HERNDON (he/him) is an author of speculative fiction and poetry. All his characters are Black unless otherwise noted.

KM SZPARA’s new novel\, First\, Become Ashes\, follows Lark\, raised since childhood to fight and kill monsters before the FBI arrives to tell him it’s all fake. As the best of speculative fiction does\, these novels force their protagonists to question what’s real in their lives and shine a light for readers on our society’s darker realities.
