A Slice of Mars – Guerric Haché 


 

Mars is a strange place these days. Corporate overlords, capitalism, and even aging are things of the past on a planet increasingly brimming with biodiversity - yet pizzerias are in short supply!

Siblings Hett and San set out to change that. But a roboticist and a bureaucrat can't run a restaurant alone, so they bring on some help - a bioengineer, a communications scientist, and an unlikely grad student from Earth. Together, this gang of geeks will brave the fires of small business.

But work is just a small part of life. People are complicated. Different brains, different wounds, different values, and one questionably tame wildcat will all collide as they try to grow and succeed together. What comes out of the oven, in the end, is anyone's guess.

Biography: Guerric grew up bilingual in a small town in Québec. They now live with two cats on the edge of the Pacific in Vancouver, where they work in video game development and animal care, grow too many indoor rocoto peppers, and write original stories and fanfiction when they’re able. Their long-standing interest in science-fiction and fantasy has always gone hand-in-hand with an excessive desire to write. They're interested in stories that mix genres and settings, explore liminal spaces and people caught between multiple identities, and centre characters struggling to overcome their own flaws and foibles.
