Keith Soares is an independent American speculative fiction author who has a potentially unhealthy obsession with Godzilla, so it’s no coincidence that kaiju have made it into some of his stories.

To have a reader tell you not only that they cared about your characters, but they were truly saddened when a character died...

I have a new fantasy saga called White Fire. For anyone who has read my collection The Fingers of the Colossus, White Fire is the continuation of the tale of Huldrych the almost-mage from the short story "Black Fire." I have a couple other novels planned as well. And, if that wasn't enough, I've begun my first collaborative novel, which is very exciting. Bouncing ideas back and forth is a fun and creative way to develop a story.(less)

Is There a “Little C”?

Tomorrow morning, I’m going in for some minor outpatient surgery, to remove a spot of basal cell carcinoma from the top of my head.

Now, I chose the words of that sentence pretty carefully. “Minor,” “outpatient,” even “carcinoma.” Because, yes, “carcinoma” means “cancer.” The “Big C” as it is sometimes called. But I’m not trying to be dramatic. I am literally having a minor outpatient procedure, w
