I have not read one word of Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s written fiction beyond her book titles, so no bogus reviews or recommendations from me.

But I can make an introduction.

I learned of Moreno-Garcia from reading Andrea Gomez’s compelling and thoughtful piece on Tor.com that teased just enough details about the author’s books to make me do some homework. As a fan of speculative fiction I got excited about the author and read more about her background and the scope of her work.

I created a data visualization of the author’s work – inspired by the book cover of her latest novel – in order to figure out where to start reading. I hope the interactive data graphic gives others exposure to this author and lets them try out new genre reads.

One thing that is a little discouraging is that Goodreads had some of the author’s shorter works linked to Amazon that led to a broken web page. If the written fiction of women and minorities are to be discovered and their fanbases are to grow, issues like these need to be addressed. My library didn’t even have any ebook holdings I could borrow, but good ol’ physical copies are waiting for me at my branch.
