S B Divya



S.B. Divya is a lover of science, math, fiction, and the Oxford comma. She enjoys subverting expectations and breaking stereotypes whenever she can. In her past, she's used a telescope to find Orion's nebula, scuba dived with manta rays, and climbed to the top of a thousand year old stupa. At present, her jobs include writing, engineering, and being the family calendar keeper. She is a lapsed physics major who holds degrees in Computational Neuroscience and Signal Processing.

Her short fiction has appeared in Daily Science Fiction and Nature. Her first standalone book is Runtime, a novella.

"If The Great British Baking Show and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy had a child, it would be Interstellar MegaChef."

Navigational Entanglements (2024)
Aliette de Bodard
"A unique space adventure with evocative worldbuilding, Navigational Entanglements is a perfect bite-sized science fantasy. In between white-knuckle moments, de Bodard explores the inner lives of her characters and paints a vivid portrait of trauma, anxiety, bonding, and romance. The twisty, fast-paced plot is likely to keep you reading well past your bedtime!"

Station Eternity (2022)
(Midsolar Murders, book 1)
Mur Lafferty
"Mur Lafferty is turning into science fiction's Agatha Christie, with her mastery of ensemble casts and deft characterizations. Station Eternity builds a whole new universe of alien civilizations and wraps it all in an engaging mystery. This fun, fast-paced novel is sure to please fans of both Six Wakes and Solo."
