August Mae

I write stories about futures worth fighting for.

The Tides of Tomorrow series began as a question I couldn't stop asking: What if the hardest part of saving the world isn't the technology, but learning to trust each other again?

I believe in the power of speculative fiction to rehearse hope. Not the naive kind that pretends everything will be fine, but the stubborn kind: the hope that sees the storm clearly and plants a seed anyway.

My work lives at the intersection of Solarpunk, Climate Fiction, and Hopepunk. These aren't just genres to me; they're orientations toward the future. They ask us to imagine with precision, to build with care, and to never mistake cynicism for wisdom.

When I'm not writing, I'm reading about regenerative agriculture, walking beside rivers, and trying to learn the names of local trees. I believe that paying attention is the first act of hope.

Every story is an act of imagining forward. Thank you for reading along.
