"Oh, Russia" by Simon Brown

A sad, gentle tale of loss, change, and human connection in the time of global warming. Simon has been selling speculative fiction stories for over 25 years. His short stories have appeared in markets in Australia, the US, Poland, the UK and Japan; the best of these have been collected into Cannibals of the Fine Light and Troy, both produced by Ticonderoga Publications. His eight novels have been published in Australia, the US and Russia. He currently lives with his wife and two children in Phuket, Thailand, but considers the south coast of NSW to be his true home.
