Book Review | Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Children of Time was January’s Book of the Month for the Space Opera Group on Goodreads. It sounded really interesting, and since I’d finished my own series for the time being, I hoped to read some scifi for a change
Book Launch! Curved Space to Corsair – Viridian System 2
Curved Space for Corsair is out at last! Yes, today the second book in my Viridian System series launches on all ereader platforms. There are some details, and excerpt, and a bit about me (in case you’d like to share

SpaceTime Reading Challenge Sign-up #spacetimereads
SpaceTime Launch! Searching for a Science Fiction Reading Challenge? I have been for years. I find some with lists of classic or ‘new classic’ books to read, but I’ve either done those or rejected them for good reasons! The answer?

Young Explorers Adventure Guide is an annual collection of science fiction stories for children. I asked for the ARC from NetGalley because science fiction for middle grade readers seems to be in short supply. Judging from the number of authors
FridayFlash Fiction | Winter Sleep
The title ‘Winter sleep’ came from a promotional leaflet of some sort on my desk. I gave it to Rebecca as a prompt when she gave me ‘the Evil Locket‘ which I reprised last week. Inspired by memories of my
Book Review | Equus – anthology edited by Rhonda Parrish
Equus was a book I received from LibraryThing, as part of their first reads initiative. It is nothing to do with Equus the play. But it is Latin for ‘horse’. Equus Ed. by Rhonda Parrish There’s always something magical about
