Sylvia Spruck Wrigley was born in Germany and spent her childhood in Los Angeles. She emigrated to Scotland where she guided German tourists around the Trossachs and searched for the supernatural. She now lives in Tallinn where she writes about plane crashes and Estonian air maidens, which have more in common than most people might imagine. Her fiction was nominated for a Nebula in 2014 and her short stories have been translated into over a dozen languages. Her first novella, Domnall and the Borrowed Child, was published in 2015 by Tor.com and is available now at all good book stores. You can find out more about her at http://intrigue.co.uk/

Science Fiction penal colonies
I grew up in the American West and so the idea of the frontier and encountering the residents (and painfully misunderstanding them) is very familiar to me. When I look at exploration on Earth, it’s been about solving a problem: a need for land, a way to distract problem people, a place to ship undesirables.
