Drema De\u00f2raich is an award-winning author of character-driven speculative fiction that sometimes asks big questions. While she always has multiple projects in the works, Drema’s current front-burner manuscript is The Way In, Book 1 of The Nexus,<\/em> a trilogy that takes place in The Founder\u2019s Seed Universe, and follows directly after Driven, <\/em>book 3 of the TFS trilogy.<\/p>\n

Drema’s short stories have been published in numerous online journals, as well as a few semi-professional zines. Her two novelettes, \u201cDeer in Headlights\u201d and \u201cJane Doe #7,\u201d are undergoing new cover designs, and will be re-released soon.<\/p>\n

On occasion, Drema blogs about writing, ideas from Life that inspire her, environmental issues, ways to live more sustainably, and whatever else captures her fancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

12\/5-6\/26 \u00a0~ \u00a0Annual Fair Trade Festival (location to be announced).
