Still Waters by Siri Paulson

Payut is an itinerant boat peddler and healer, and he's worried. Something is sickening villagers and birds in the web of jungle canals he paddles through. He's determined to find a way to help them. But the sickness is coming from the city, which holds a secret he's been running from for many years...

The Haunting of Heatherbrae Station by Siri Paulson

In a steampunk world where the Victorians spread across the Solar System, Rachel Okembe arrives at a remote space station to take up her new position as a governess to two motherless children. But dark rumours swirl around their father the stationmaster. The station itself is said to be haunted. Rachel needs to find answers, and quickly: just who is in peril--and from what?

About the Author

Siri Paulson (she/her) loves nothing more than mixing up genres to see what will happen. Her other passion is contra (folk) dancing. Her lifelong dreams include publishing novels (one and counting), travelling the world (had a good start until recently), and becoming an astronaut (still waiting...). She lives with her spouse in an old house in Toronto, dubbed the TARDIS because it's bigger on the inside.

Siri's most recent release is a near-future retelling of the Little Mermaid, a novella titled Voice of the Sea. Her queer fantasy novel City of Hope and Ruin, co-written with Kit Campbell, was released in 2016. Her work has also appeared in Abyss & Apex, Daily Science Fiction, and Polar Borealis, in Queer Sci Fi's flash fiction anthologies Clarity (2022), Migration (2019), and Renewal (2017) (https://queerscifi.com), and in the 2017 holiday collection from Mischief Corner Books (https://www.mischiefcornerbooks.com/a-new-year-on-vega-iii.html).
