(? - ) US journalist and author, who identifies as a "climate journalist", though her first novel Tilt (2025), which is set in the very Near Future, deals only indirectly with her central pursuits. The great, long-expected Pacific Rim earthquake which shatters Portland, Oregon in this tale is not occasioned by Climate Change, though it of course causes radical alterations in human lives; the protagonist's 24-hour trek through the ruins can be seen as a highly compressed Fantastic Voyage into a dark time to come.
