Welcome and enjoy. I'll start 4 topics and check them out every other day. The discussion runs from November 28 to December 18, while A PLACE BEYOND MAN is on Giveaway.
Someone has remarked that science fiction can cover a host of topics or crossover to various other genres, like mystery, YA and romance. What would you like to see more of?


Shomeret | 2 comments My favorite type of science fiction deals with in depth exploration of alien cultures. I can never get enough of SF like that. That's one of the reasons why I loved A Place Beyond Man: The Archives of Varok.

My favorite type of crossover is alternate history which is essentially a crossover of SF and historical fiction.

Mysteries taking place in alternate timelines would be my vote for something I'd like to see more of.

Thanks, Shomeret. I love reading about worlds that explore creative ways of dealing with common problems, especially different ways of relating, of finding humor in the dilemmas common to all life. The first contact between ellls and varoks deals with communication problems and misassumptions THE UNHEARD SONG. Planning to make it available next year.

Thanks to friend Jill Kemerer on Twitter, I've found a new adjective to apply to my science fiction--inspirational, as well as fun, and provocative. The sequels coming out (somehow) next year probably deserve the adjective more than APBM, which is more like an environmental diatribe in places. What do you think? Don't miss the giveaway--until Dec. 20.
