October 23, 2013 by 2 Comments
Today’s the day. Head over to http://www.reddit.com/r/sciencefiction/comments/1p22fs/im_tim_ward_ama/ and ask me anything, from podcasting, the publishing industry, being an aspiring author, writing book reviews, moving to South Korea to teach English, why redheads are the most beautiful, etc. For those who haven’t visited reddit before, it is a very fun and informative community. I recommend registering (free) […]
Book Review: ALIF THE UNSEEN by G. Willow Wilson
October 23, 2013 by Leave a Comment
If there is a better book than Alif The Unseen by G. Willow Wilson that showcases the nebulous nature of genre definitions and the trend towards the mélange of tropes so prevalent these days in genre fiction, then I can’t think of it. Mixing fantasy, mythology, cyberpunk and techno-thriller devices, Wilson has sculpted a world […]

Welcome to a new series at Adventures in SciFi Publishing. My goal for this is to make it easier for you, the reader, to find each week’s release of “all” the science fiction and fantasy books (and all sub-genres in between–yeah, I’m talking to you Amish Vampires in Space lovers).

Book Review: THE MACHINE by James Smythe
October 4, 2013 by Leave a Comment
My first experience reading James Smythe was discovering his novel, The Explorer, a book which became my Top 3 read of 2012. It hooked me from the first sentence and gave me a story that was never boring, creating strong empathy for the main character’s plight in a fast-paced adventure through time and space, literally. […]

That human detritus makes a surprising recovery regardless of whatever dystopian wasteland they inhabit. In Three, by Jay Posey, it’s the world before its fall that draws the reader in […]

I like post-apocalyptic movies with quality story and action, and she just wants the girl to get the guy in the end. Other titles we’ve reviewed: TV […]
