Under Stars

KJ Kabza is back with a second, bigger round of short fiction that's "Incredible" (Tangent), "Fascinating" (SFRevu), and "Worthy of Edgar Allan Poe" (SFcrowsnest). Featuring his freshest work from the top science fiction and fantasy venues of today, including F&SF, Nature, Daily Science Fiction, and more, UNDER STARS showcases wonders from worlds both here and beyond—enchanted hedge mazes, abandoned cities, programmable cyberneurons, alien overlords, 1,000-foot-high tides, secret dreams, and humanity's omnipotent future.

Over 80 of KJ Kabza's fantasy and science fiction stories have appeared in four different languages in online venues, print anthologies, print magazines, ebooks, podcasts, and subscription email lists, in such places as Tor.com, Strange Horizons, Nature, Motherboard, F&SF, and many, many more.
KJ goes by his middle name, Jack, in his "regular people life" outside of writing circles. "I started selling fiction before I transitioned, and I wanted to have a gender-neutral byline," he explains. The byline stuck a little too well in that area of his life, but he accepts this with graceful resignation.
KJ lives in sunny Tucson, Arizona, which is lovely for most of the year but rather like death in an oven for a few unfortunate months in the middle. He is not great at hiking, running, and weightlifting, but he enjoys all of these activities and does them regularly anyway. He shares a home with one husband, zero pets, and a number of trees that he is determined to sustain.
