Author @timweedwriter.bsky.social was the final speaker at today's #mancoslitfest, discussing the joy and despair in post apocalyptic climate fiction like his latest novel, THE AFTERLIFE PROJECT. It details the quest of scientists trying to save the world via time travel - and it's a love story too.

The amazing author Pam Houston and the equally luminous poet Byron Aspaas read beautiful excerpts from their works at #mancoslitfest! Pam read from her forthcoming book on animal essays and the heart of Africa, while Bryon shared his story of becoming a Diné professor. #writingcommunity
