About The Frog Pond

The Frog Pond is a monthly newsletter from me, Sarah L. Hawthorn, speculative fiction writer and research rabbit hole follower. Every month you'll receive a deep dive into a niche nature topic, spanning from giant ancient shrimps to subterranean forests to the properties of aluminum.

You'll also receive an update from me at the end about my writing progress, reading progress, and any other important life updates (especially cute photos of my cat, Hazel).
