Joining us in the Art House this month is Marissa Slaven. I featured Marissa in an earlier episode to talk about her young adult climate-themed novel, Code Blue. Now she is back with the squeal, Code Red. She was inspired by her daughter to write this series of eco-fiction thriller, where a teenage girl and her friends battle climate change.
I sat down with Marissa to talk about the new book and to hear her read an excerpt. To learn more about Marissa and her books, visit Stormbird Press. You can also follow her on Twitter.
Next month: Dr. Krista Hiser reflects on Deena Metzger’s novel A Rain of Night Birds for The Ultimate Cli-Fi Book Club.

Artists and Climate Change is a blog that tracks artistic responses from all disciplines to the problem of climate change. It is both a study about what is being done, and a resource for anyone interested in the subject. Art has the power to reframe the conversation about our environmental crisis so it is inclusive, constructive, and conducive to action. Art can, and should, shape our values and behavior so we are better equipped to face the formidable challenge in front of us.
