With "Intersecting Eternity," author Margaret A. Babcock is presenting a follow-up to her 2021 science fiction space opera novel "Eden.2." Though as she explains in our new interview, "Eternity" is less a sequel and more like a chronologically distant relative.

Like all good biographies, this is so far as entertaining as it is informative.

Like many science fiction authors, Bethany Jacobs cites, well, other sci-fi authors when talking about her new sci-fi space opera / space fantasy novel "On Vicious Worlds." But in this new interview, she credits a certain cult classic fantasy TV show as well.

Meh. Thought this rather benign story was getting weirder, and thus more interesting, but I was wrong.  Ah well.

Freaky good in a rather “It” / first season “Stranger Things,”/ “Village Of The Damned” kind of way.

At her best when she's being rough, and this excellent collection was rough more often than not.

Author D.C. Gomez isn't the first to put their own spin on a fairy tale. But she is the first to turn Little Red Riding Hood into, as she explains in this exclusive interview about her novel "Cursed By Fur, "...an assassin / serial killer with a vendetta against werewolves."

Genre can be a tricky thing. Take author Caitlin Starling, who, in this interview about her novel "Last To Leave The Room," says it has some sci-fi flavor but, "it's straight up horror to me."

While superhero novels are often inspired by the usual suspects (Superman, Spider-Man), in my new interview with author Ty Drago, he says the hero of his superheroic science fiction novel "Checkmate" is inspired by one who predates them all.

This was a really engaging take on the Arthurian legends. Now for the companion / concluding novella.

@TrueBloodNet Yes, someone else said he reposts lies and calls them out. But other people have made similar complaints and I don't know why they still follow the people they do. My life is way less stressful without that bullshit.

So, this illustrates a confusion I have about and social media in general, and how I use it. Why is he following so many liars? And why is he still following them when he knows they're liars? I don't follow people if they're full of shit, and if I realize they're full of shit, I stop following them (and have). I don't get it.

No matter who records there (Led Zeppelin, Taylor Swift, Stevie Wonder...), Electric Lady Studios will always be the house that Jimi built. Here's the link to my review of the "Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision," which includes the titular documentary as well as 38 unreleased tracks Jimi recorded there.

While she's best know for the sci-fi stories of "Sholan Alliance" series, in this exclusive interview, she says she's presenting her fantasy side in her first short story collection, "The Pharaoh's Cat," because she, "...wanted to show I could do more and with another genre."
