While Elaine Gallagher's novella "Unexploded Remnants" is like if Lara Croft explored a Star Wars-like galaxy, in our new interview she says this sSci-fi space opera story is actually more of a "planetary romance."

In my new interview with author Alexander Boldizar about his sci-fi thriller "The Man Who Saw Seconds" — in which a guy can see 5 seconds into the future — he mentions being inspired and influenced by a lucid dream, Philip K. Dick, and a bear.

In my new interview with Ananda Lima about her short story collection "Craft: Stories I Wrote For The Devil," I forgot to ask which stories she thought Satan would enjoy most. But I asked everything else you'd need to know about this book.

When Premee Mohamed released "The Annual Migration Of Clouds," she thought this cli-fi sci-fi novella was a stand-alone story. But let this be a lesson to you, kids: If you ask nicely, good things sometimes happen. Which is why, in this Q&A, she and I talk about the first of two "Cloud" sequels, "We Speak Through The Mountain."

Despite what the name implies, "Monster Jam Showdown" isn't a game in which sentient and evil jellies face off. No matter, this monster truck racing / trick doing game still looks like it might be fun. Here's the link to my preview.
