I'm glad everyone is putting this thread to good use.  I have a new book on Kindle.  The first in a new vampire series - New Kingdom: Creatures of Habit for $.99

The last place Caleb Johnson thought he would end up would be New Kingdom, Nebraska. Released from the Yuma Territorial Prison in the late 1800’s, Caleb finds himself lost in memories of a life he can no longer have and unprepared for the life about to be thrust onto him. When Caleb rescues Morning Dove, an Indian Maiden, who has fell victim to a group of vampires on a blood hunt, he finds himself in a town dominated by Black Riders, witches, ghosts and a werewolf. Faced with creatures from out of nightmares, Caleb allies himself with the supernatural in his attempt to free New Kingdom from the evil that has embedded itself in the small frontier town.

Greetings Charles (and everyone else),

I have the first book of my series, Storm's Wake (linked in signature), that released last December and is now on Amazon.com for Kindle.  I'm currently in the process of getting book two wrapped up and finishing off my trilogy.  I have a few other side projects outlined, but nothing in stone.  I am excited to meet a large group of writers who have different perspectives yet fall under the same genre.  I look forward to speaking with some of you and seeing your works.

As always, be well

Hi Guys,

I'm Greg and I write both sci fi and fantasy - which funnily enough is also what I read. At present I have two sci fi novels out on the kindle thingie, Dragon (No it's a spaceship not a fire breathing headmaster!) and And All The Stars A Grave. Currently I'm working on about twenty more books (I live for multitasking even if it doesn't really work that well), again a mix of sci fi and fantasy.

Nice to meet you all.

Cheers, Greg.

Hi All - been away writing (and publishing). The second novel in my Junior SF series will be out next month, and I've just replaced all the covers on my adult SF series. The new ones shout 'SF Humour' a bit louder than the old ones did.

Goodie! Another SF thread

Do you guys know of any good science fiction book blogs?  Like, ones that focus on space opera, military SF, space adventures, and other good stuff?  Most of the ones I've found that claim to read SF seem more focused on PNR / Urban Fantasy / Dystopian ala Hunger Games, and probably don't hold much interest for the kind of people who would go for my books.

Hi, all.  I'm an SF writer who's been around awhile, but not around here much.  I'm a real happy reader-author.  The hobbles of LCD mass-market production are falling off my loved genre and imaginations are soaring.  Took a d- while!  I think it was '91 or 2 when I read the editorial in Analog... It began in '82.  Corporate entertainment marketing strategy entered the world of books.  Publishers were bleeding red ink.  7th grade reading level, a chapter break every 2500 words, no books not nice to big business, of course, the genre was gutted.  The entire field of social reflection and the warning function of our profession was cut off.  Handcrafted cups sold at Walmart are individual, but they don't hold any great surprises, do they?  No disparagement to the authors who still gave us good work and imaginative stories.  But they couldn't give us that work.  So, I got frustrated and knew exactly when the corporations would move to ebooks and... Yep.  That's the kind of science fiction that just stopped being published by the big publishers '85-86.  EPA sawmill cleanup extensions and Forest Service clear-cut permits were both on the last renewal.  I write superheroes for smart women and those incredible fantasy men change societies, sometimes on the brink of destruction.  In Analog?  Find where the term "dumbing down" comes from.

Hi all, if anyone is still following this thread.  I also write science fiction and fantasy.  But looks like the last post here is old.  Are you guys still out there?

Hi Charles. Nice to meet you. I'm into rock hard sci fi (I actually am a scientist somewhere deep down and have the hours of lab time to prove it) and write my own version of Christian-based fantasy. I'm mostly into experimental fiction forms rather than genre fiction and use the boards to see how other people make a commercial go at this writing thing. All the best with your kindle adventure. I look forward to reading about your successes.

Hi everyone.

I'm here to let you know about my Kindle book called Frank Herbert: The Works.

As the author of the world-famous Dune series, as well as of numerous other science fiction novels, Frank Herbert (1920-1986) has long been regarded as one of the most acclaimed masters of the genre.

This is a comprehensive critical biography of the literary achievements - and sometimes stupendous disappointments - which comprise the literary legacy of this colossal figure who so long dominated the science fiction stage. Yes, Frank Herbert's six Dune books are considered in detail here, but so are all of his other works as well. Everything is taken chronologically and with reference to current events unfolding while Herbert was writing his stories and novels, thus placing his oeuvre in better context than it's been examined before. Answers to innumerable questions which Herbert's legions of fans have been pondering for decades are offered here, along with extensive supporting arguments and documentation. What emerges is a new synthesis and appreciation for the expansive mind of a truly original American writer and artist.

Among the problems tackled in this volume are these: How was Herbert influenced by the 1960s counterculture in San Francisco? How did he assemble the disparate pieces that synergized into Dune? What are some of the technical shortcomings of Dune? How did Herbert begin to model an extended spectrum of consciousness within his other novels, including Destination: Void and The Santaroga Barrier? Was Herbert at heart a scientist or a mystic? What is the connection between the Golden Path which lies at the center of the last half of the Dune series and the modern conservative movement? How might Herbert have written the last volume of his Dune series had he lived?

Hey, thanks for this thread. I am new at this and I enjoy writing science fiction and medieval historical fantasy. My current science fiction attempt is below:

The Battle for the Ringed Planet (military science fiction, space opera, colonization, romance)
Battle weary soldier Torian crash lands on a planet with a dead colony city where everyone mysteriously died. He encounters a lone survivor, a girl who hears voices. There is something special about the colony because suddenly two star fleets converge and land troops. Through battles on land and in space, Torian fights engineered marines, cyborgs, and deadly robots with an uncooperative girl in tow who harbours a deadly secret.

I am currently working on a medieval historical fantasy trilogy with the first two drafts completed. I will be hunting through this thread for some reads. I promise anything I read will be reviewed. Cheers!

Good to find this thread.  I'm author of six science fiction novels published the old-fashioned way (by Tor), and 30 stories, most published in Analog.  I'll be getting all of them published on Kindle in the months ahead.  The Silk Code is the first.
