Emily A Weedon is proud to announce her forthcoming debut novel with Cormorant Books - a propulsively plotted speculative fiction which asks timely questions about power, gender and women's rights. Autokrator lands in bookstores, April 13, 2024

"What happens when you strip women of all their rights? Autokrator offers a chilling insight into a brutal but not completely unfamiliar world, where the patriarchy runs amok to devastating consequences. Weedon skillfully builds a dystopian universe, inviting the reader to live out the lives of two “unmales” who battle the orthodoxy, one for power and the other for love. Their continued survival, despite the terrifying horrors occurring all around them, raises many questions, most notably: Will we ever find our way back to a more just society? In a post Roe v Wade environment, where reproduction trumps individual rights, it’s hard not to read this sweeping saga with terror." Leah Eichler, Esoterica
