This book is the first book from my imprint, Mareas. It's a literary sci-fi that looks at what it means to be a human experiencing chaos and disaster. I'm writing this as Florida prepares for a major hurricane, as comments online vary wildly between the government has created major weather events, to the government has failed us and climate change is altering how we can live. It makes me appreciate even more what The Unmapping is doing and saying.

Here's what you can expect from The Unmapping:

- A narration style that I describe as "chatty." It wonderfully captures speech and thought patterns in a way that makes it feel like the narrator is truly sitting down to tell you a story.

- A literary leaning contemporary sci-fi.

- Our main character, Esme, who finds that amid large-scale chaos, she also has things to face about herself and her relationship with her fiance, who is missing. Where is he, and why?

- Our other main character, Arjun, who wants to be a hero, to matter to the people around him, and that, at times, is achingly relatable and, at times, acutely disconcerting.

- A cult? In this economy?

- An honest look at who gets impacted most by disaster and how society views them

- A book that is both very human and a little alien that will create a memorable reading experience.
