Ep 51: A snake out of water with Emily Tesh

Emily’s choice: Briar’s Book/ The Healing in the Vine by Tamora Pierce

Ali’s choice: A Snake falls to Earth by Darcy Little Badger

EasterCon- the annual British fan-run Science Fiction and Fantasy convention

Emily was on a panel celebrating the centenary of Anne McCaffrey

Tamora Pierce’s books have been challenged and removed from libraries. Attempts at censoring reading are rising in the UK. If you want to read to support authors, please bear in mind that LGBTQ+ authors and authors of colour are more likely to be under threat of having their books removed from libraries and schools. See the list of books removed from Lowry Academy in Manchester where a librarian has lost her job and is unlikely to work with young people again. For more information on the effects of book banning on authors, listen to this episode of Our Opinions Are Correct with Maggie Tokuda-Hall.

Food in SFF- Dr Fiona Moore cooks recipes from SFF cook books so we don’t have to. She found this recipe for cherry tarts inspired by Alanna: The First Adventure.

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones has been nominated for several awards. Stephen Graham Jones is also a Native American (Blackfeet) author who writes mostly in horror. I also really enjoyed Monoquill Blackgoose’s To Shape a Dragon’s Breath.

Darren Chetty’s ‘You can’t say that! Stories are supposed to be about white people!’ from Nikesh Shukla (Ed) The Good Immigrant. This book was published by Unbound, which has collapsed.

The amazing Petronella Breinburg, who was born in Suriname, not the Caribbean.

You didn't hear it from me, but Emily's website is https://emilytesh.net/ and you can follow her on Bluesky @emilytesh.net.

You should definitely listen to Eight Days of Diana Wynne Jones, though.

Thank you as always for listening, sharing and engaging!
