You can tell a lot about a book by its first chapter. That’s because writers often use it for expressly that purpose. They have to sum up the tone, the characters, and the world, usually with only about twenty pages to work with. It’s no small feat, and that’s why I am so excited about…

And so, here it is, our first Guest Review by reader-turned-associate of the site, Marlo Clingman. –The Editor Jamin Winans, Double Edge Films, 127 minutes. Not only will my review…
There is a part of me that is curious to know how the sci-fi publishing community is currently marketing books that have to do with pandemics right now.

Before we begin, take a look at this. A long time ago on a ranch far, far away, George Lucas created a phenomenon. The saga, simply titled Star Wars, captured the imaginations of audiences all over the world. Its complex characters, the journeys they undertook to maturity, the losses they suffered on the way and the victories…
First aired September 1st, 2014. Now that all the major players are back inside the dome they’re working on a plan to get everyone out fast because the temperature is getting colder, despite the fact that it’s July. “Barbie” (played by Mike Vogel) comes up with a (not-that-great) plan to get everyone out past his…
