In 2018 I ran my first half marathon on a dare. I struggled but did it - in 3hrs. I've run a lot since but haven't done another 21km. Last Sunday I finally did. And finished in just over 2 hours. It was great to challenge myself and help raise $1.6 million for charity

As part of prep for my forthcoming novel THE FIST OF MEMORY, I'm making a list of science fiction novels by BIPOC/non-Western authors that include either 1) First Contact or 2) a Big Dumb Object (BDO) or 3) A Hivemind. Want to get as many as possible. Recommendations welcome!
