@timeshighered.bsky.social wrote a lovely article about my work using #storytelling in #highereducation. It got some bitter comments about having to entertain to get students to turn up. They have a point but I do what I must to get bums on seats! www.timeshighereducation.com/news/fiction...

Why I Don't Like Climate Fiction

Larisa A. White @larisa-a-white.bsky.social · 28d

Great piece, and a motivating sales pitch in one. I concur with your perspective on climate fiction, and am glad to see someone is focused on building agency in readers, rather than despair.

Denise Baden @dabaden.bsky.social · 28d

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers

5 more days of the discounted offer on Amazon
for The Philosopher and the Assassin. I got a nice review from Wren James of the Climate Fiction Writers League:
“A sharp, witty take on the climate crisis – from someone who knows what they’re talking about.”

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.

E-bikes support fewer car trips.

They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.
