Rose du désert, my YA SF novel, is finalist at the 2025 Trillium Awards! The intrigue is set on the same world and starts some time after the events in Le Secret de Paloma. It features an autistic spectrum heroine with a pessimistic temper, an attitude illustrated on the cover.
The awards will be given soon,on June 18th in the Toronto Reference Library, at the Bram and Bluma Appel Salon.
Whether my book places or not, it is a wondrous occasion to meet fine Ontario Writers like in 2013 (article on my French blog). Meeting Gil Adamson, author of The Outlander (2007), Ridgerunner (2020) and other books, was my favorite award!
Meanwhile…
Another Gardeners’ Universe story is coming in the July-August 2025 issue of Asimov’s. It will be my seventh publication in this magazine.
The July/August 2025 issue will hit the newsstands on June 8, 2025, with my novelette In the gardener’s Services, set in my SF universe. That story will explore the past of one of my favorite characters in the YA series La Quête de Chaaas.
You can also subscribe to Asimov’s Science Fiction in print or in various digital formats.
