Well this is a delightful first: my short story in Nature, “The Descent of Man,” inspired Kathleen Molyneaux, cell biology PhD, to write a tale about collapsing bee populations. Authorial cross-pollination! You can read her story, “Drone Bee,” at Perihelion Science Fiction.

Stay tuned for my novel expansion of “The Descent of Man”–The Hangman–now in final revisions.
