ICYMI: T.K. Rex joins Paul Semel to discuss building the interconnected world of THE WILDCRAFT DRONES, assembling a first collection, and the ideas behind its solarpunk cli-fi futures. paulsemel.com/exclus...

Promotional graphic for an interview with T.K. Rex about THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. The top half shows a screenshot of a headline reading “Exclusive Interview: THE WILDCRAFT DRONES Author T.K. Rex,” published by Paul Semel on June 4, 2026. The lower half features the book cover of THE WILDCRAFT DRONES, depicting a glowing red nautilus drone floating through a dark forest. Beside the cover is a large quotation from T.K. Rex: "One thing a lot of readers have mentioned so far is that The Wildcraft Drones was a much more immersive read than most collections because of the overarching narrative, and they’ve actually read the whole thing in one or two sittings. So I would say if you don’t usually read short story collections, you might still really like this one, because in some ways it’s more like a novel.” A banner across the bottom reads: Read more at www.paulsemel.com.

A wonderful little interview dropped yesterday from the British Columbia Review. If you loved Rebecca Campbell's ARBOREALITY and THE OTHER SHORE, you'll love this insight into her writing and its connection to the Cowichan Valley, BC. Watch the video here: youtu.be/72xiymP8M4c

Just wanted to share bits of THE WETWORKS MIRACLE'S many 5-star reviews. I couldn't fit them all on this graphic. If you're a horror reviewer, don't sleep on this book! and please help us get the word out - it's an incredible first book by a brand new Latino author. www.netgalley.com/ca...

Five-Star reviews for Caleb Sierra's THE WETWORKS MIRACLE.
“This was… strange, disorienting, horrifying. Incredibly vivid imagery that forced me to make faces at my ereader at times (which is very good!).”
“This book has wildly inventive world building and unique characters ...it is so unique in a sea of repetition.”
“The twist ending, wow!”
“This book takes the reclamation of nature in the wake of catastrophe and gives it heart and soul, quite literally, in this multi-pov mind-bending tale set in a fantastically complex, yet clear world.”
“This book was a very fast read, but it was several days before I could get my wits together enough to write the review.”
“The Wetworks Miracle is a gorgeous blend of eco and body horror, sentient plant matter, and heresy of a religion already bastardized through some convoluted game of interstellar telephone. We've hit on so many of my favorite tropes, I feel like I've been given a gift.”

We are excited to share this beautiful blurb from Shingai Njeri Kagunda, Ignyte winning author of & This Is How To Stay Alive. Thank you Shingai! The Wildcraft Drones have now infiltrated the printer and are befriending it and convincing it to join the rewilding revolution. We wish them success <3

"The Wildcraft Drones weaves the many realities of a world where the soil, technology, wild creatures, and wild people collaborate on communicating through and past the bounds of language. When evolution is the only constant, these stories insist on centering the protection of those on the margins of power concentration. A reminder that if we do not see ourselves as part of the collective, we lose the tools to save ourselves." — Shingai Njeri Kagunda, Ignyte award-winning author of & This Is How To Stay Alive

Renan Bernardo gifted these lovely words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. "Wealthy people seem to be reading dystopias as rulebooks ... Instead, I'd say for people to read The Wildcraft Drones as a rulebook of how to live in community and find a healthy path to our future." Thanks, Renan!

"The Wildcraft Drones is a brilliant glimpse into a future we desire. T. K. Rex's prose is magnificent and her characters feel real all the time. The stories in this collection are varied and encompass a wide spectrum of climate fiction and solarpunk, but what they hold in common is a lingering feeling of hope and resistance. You can read this collection just for fun, but you will be getting much more than fun: a sense of climate justice and of shared humanity. Some wealthy people seem to be reading dystopias as rulebooks of how to run the world. Instead, I'd say for people to read The Wildcraft Drones as a rulebook of how to live in community and find a healthy path to our future." Renan Bernard, Nebula finalist author of Disgraced Return of the Kap's Needle

We're grateful today to Andrew Dana Hudson for these generous words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. “Thoughtful and funny, tender and bracing ... An essential text for any solarpunk’s bookshelf!” What are you grateful for this first Monday of spring?

“Thoughtful and funny, tender and bracing, these stories (and comics!) weave together into a potent vision of the crises we face and the strange and beautiful futures we might build on the other side. An essential text for any solarpunk’s bookshelf!” Andrew Dana Hudson, author of Our Shared Storm: A Novel of Five Climate Futures and Absence

Shoutout to Cynthia Gómez for these wonderful words about THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. "These stories challenge us by showing us the logical conclusion of late-stage capitalism – spiraling natural disasters, a mushrooming police state – but they also show the endless promise of resistance and hope."

"T.K. Rex’s gentle prose is dense with sly humor, sharp metaphor, and an abiding love for the natural world. These stories challenge us by showing us the logical conclusion of late-stage capitalism – spiraling natural disasters, a mushrooming police state – but they also show the endless promise of resistance and hope, of love and lust, of rewilding and regrowth. These characters – both human and adorable drone – will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading (and re-reading) this visionary book."
