We hope you will join us to hear from bestselling sci-fi author Mary Robinette Kowal!

About the author:

Mary Robinette Kowal is the USA Today Bestselling author of the Lady Astronaut series and the Glamourist Histories. Her novel The Calculating Stars is one of the few works to win the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards in a single year. She is also a recipient of the Astounding Award for Best New Writer and multiple Hugo awards. A professional puppeteer for over twenty years, Kowal’s background in physical performance informs much of her approach to character in prose. She shares this craft expertise as a core cast member of the long-running, Hugo-winning podcast Writing Excuses. Kowal served as the President of SFWA and is an accomplished audiobook narrator. At home, she explores communication through a different lens with her cat, Elsie, who uses Augmentative Interspecies Communication buttons to “talk.” She also has an asteroid named after her.

About the books:

Kowal's latest book, Apprehension is a standalone sci-fi crime novel printed in double with Sam J. Miller's Red Star Hustle.

Her most popular book, The Calculating Stars, won the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards all in one year. As the first novel in the Lady Astronaut Universe, it features an alternate history space race, centering women's contributions to voyaging into the stars. The latest book in the series, The Martian Contingency, was released just over a year ago.
