Vanessa MacLaren-Wray

Vanessa MacLaren-Wray writes speculative fiction exploring the challenges of communication and attachment in a diverse, complex universe. As a mechanical engineer, she has worked on shifting the energy economy to renewables and storage. She also likes to build odd little robots who make tea and play music.

Although denying any knowledge of alien technologies or extrasolar civilizations, when asked to write what she knows, Vanessa gravitates towards wormhole-based transit systems and cultural matrices only partly occupied by human beings.

Vanessa is the author of All That Was Asked and Parrish Blue. You can find out more about her works and world at cometarytales.com.

    “MacLaren-Wray’s imagination is brilliant, bringing her world to life with vivid imagery and fierce characters. And her strong knowledge of engineering and physics, along with her attention to mechanical detail, pull the reader into a vortex of adrenaline-fueled, realistic action. It’s thrilling!”

    “As the story unfolds, you’ll find universal themes: community, empathy, and kindness; along with privilege, prejudice, and power — you never know what’s coming.”
