I’m J.K. Ullrich,  a writer of speculative fiction
including the award-winning young adult novel Blue Karma and the Syzygy novella series

I write fiction for now–stories rooted in today’s complex issues that explore just beyond tomorrow’s horizon. As we move into an era where science fiction comes true every day, near-future worlds seem all too plausible. They might only be fiction for now.

The books page features information about my published work. My blog is a geeky vortex of book reviews, cultural criticism, creative writing advice, and dispatches from the front lines of independent authorship. You can also find me on Twitter and Goodreads.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you’ll join me on this journey into the post-science fiction age, where fiction might not stay imaginary for long.
