About Elowen Tidebloom
Elowen Tidebloom writes science fiction rooted in ecology and systems theory. Symbiont Bloom is set on the volcanic islands of Lumengrove, where the boundary between living and built environments is intentionally blurred — dawn arrives through living leaf-glass, and the island's ecological pulse directly governs the community's daily rhythm. When that pulse skips, a family must unravel a systems puzzle that turns out to be social as much as biological. Tidebloom's fiction is deeply concerned with interdependency: between organisms, between people, between cultures and their environments. The worldbuilding is functional and immersive, never pausing for exposition. For readers who appreciate science fiction that uses alien ecologies to defamiliarize their own world, Tidebloom is a compelling new voice.
