Sierra Branham originally hails from the mountains of Alaska but now calls the lower 48 home. Her short fiction can be found in Small Wonders Magazine and The Dread Machine, and her debut novel, LOVE GALAXY, is romantic and political science fiction (with a touch of murder mystery) forthcoming in 2026 with DAW Books in the US and Transworld in the UK. When not spinning words into stories, she’s often hiking with her goats, skiing, juggling knives, or battling existential crises. Sign up for her newsletter at www.sierrabranham.com.
