Tehnuka (she/they) is a writer and volcanologist from Aotearoa New Zealand. She uses words to make sense of the world, and, when it doesn’t make sense, to make up new worlds. Her published writing includes both realistic and speculative short stories and poetry.

Tehnuka likes to find herself up volcanoes, down caves, and in unexpected places; everyone else, however, can find her as @tehnuka on Twitter or swimming in the submissions pile at Apparition Lit.
