Just remember everyone, the isfw website is open to anyone who has published an indie book or short story. This even means that if you have published with a traditional publishing house you can still join the site as long as you have self-published something.

Cool. I'll sign up as soon as I get a chance. is it sf only or all spec fic? (I do write sf, but my series The Unfinished Song is epic fantasy. My only published sf so far is in my anthology Conmergence.)

Sticking my head in the door to say hello.

I published several SF novels in the 80's/90's with the likes of Del Rey and Bantam Spectra.  They're all out of print now (except for a couple of titles in Russia that have somehow reached cult status), so I'm now doing the indie thing and am releasing them myself.  It's nice to be in the company of others doing the same thing.

For others with a back catalog that's being put up, are you finding yourself grateful that science fiction can have a kind of timeless quality to it?  When A Death of Honor was first released, it took place in what could be described as a 'harrowing near future'.  With some decades under it's belt, bringing the collapse of the Soviet Union, I was afraid the book would no longer be relevant.  But people still like to read it in spite of the fact that the Soviets are peripheral bad guys... so now I describe it as a 'harrowing alternate future'.

Is this a great racket or what?

Hey JCF, glad to see a fellow Ohioian here on the boards. Glad to see you independently publishing your books.

I am a science fiction writer as well.  Getting my mojo going has been tough, but I think eBooks will break the wall that the publishers have put in place with print books. Just have to hope my Lunara series is good enough and I think it is.  A good product is half the battle.

Good luck to every new(and old) writer out there.

Are fantasy writers welcome?  I have one urban fantasy published and am working on the second.  I also have several other irons in the fire.

Thank you for starting this thread!

The second book in Talon's Epic Crossroads of the World http://www.amazon.com/Crossroads-World-Talons-Epic-ebook/dp/B0053UOG84/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_2 is now on Kindle.

Hidden in seclusion on the planet Vor'oshaven Jeremiah stumbles across the hidden library of an ancient shipbuilder, Polar. There he discovers the plans to a warship that is the key to his fight against the Citadel. Aided by his newfound friends, the construction of the ship begins. But Jeremiah needs a crew. Traveling to Starworld, he and Leax begin a mission to free a band of rebels from execution, and along the way forge alliances with those who are desperate enough to follow Jeremiah in his battles against the forces of the Citadel. "Crossroads of the World" begins the second chapter in Talon's Epic.

I hope you'll have a look.

Hi there. I'm an author in the strange space where scifi, horror and modern-day thrillers meet. They have beers together. One thing leads to another, and something inappropriate happens. At any rate, happy to meet you all.

Hi, My name is Richard Laughter, I started publishing on kindle about this time last year, I mostly prefer to write short stories but I'm working right now on a novel about a character from one of the stories in After I Die, found here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YWQIII
I've always loved writing and it's great to be published, even if I am still kind of a small fry.
I always felt inspired by Asimov so I had to do an obligatory robot story but I found I rather liked the robot story.
The theme of the stories range all over the place but they happen at the same time more or less.
Incidentally I can't seem to edit my profile and give myself a picture or a signature what's up with that?

Scott, you benefited from an Amazon gift card that a friend gave me. I first heard of Infected when it was a sponsor of the Pseudopod podcast. The price of the Kindle edition was a bit much for me but the gift card arrived and now Infected is on my K3.

I just published my first epic fantasy on kindle.



Lord Ky'debaul devises a plan to restore his lost magic powers by killing a silver dragon, which is the time dragon.
