Hi. I’m Steven R. Southard, writer of science fiction stories, and some tales in other genres. Read my new short story collection, The Seastead Chronicles, where characters grapple with the difficulties of living on and under Earth’s oceans. My short stories appear in over a dozen anthologies, including Tamarind literary magazine, Spring Into Scifi (2025), and The Science Fiction Tarot. I co-edited the anthologies 20,000 Leagues Remembered and Extraordinary Visions, Stories Inspired by Jules Verne.
