Towers Fall by Karina Sumner-Smith Sci-Fi Month: Guest Post by Karina Sumner-Smith

For the second year in a row, Karina Sumner-Smith is visiting for Sci-Fi Month! She has written a number of science fiction, fantasy, and horror short stories, and her Towers trilogy is set in the same world as her Nebula-nominated short story “An End to All Things.” Though the first book in this trilogy, her debut novel Radiant, was released last year, the trilogy has already been completed—the final book, Towers Fall, was just released earlier this month!

Cagebird by Karin Lowachee Sci-Fi Month: Review of Cagebird by Karin Lowachee

I have a Sci-Fi Month confession to make: I didn’t think I liked science fiction for a long time. I once thought it was a dry and dull genre, full of flat characters who owed their existence to the need for someone to deliver tech-heavy exposition.

This Gulf of Time and Stars by Julie Czerneda Sci-Fi Month: Review of This Gulf of Time and Stars by Julie E. Czerneda

This Gulf of Time and Stars by Julie Czerneda This Gulf of Time and Stars Blog Tour: Julie Czerneda Interview & Giveaway!

Today I’m delighted to be part of the blog tour for This Gulf of Time and Stars by Julie Czerneda! This soon-to-be released (November 3!) science fiction novel is the first book in the Reunification trilogy, which follows events in the Trade Pact trilogy. Although it technically ties into a larger series, it can be read by itself—I haven’t read either that trilogy or the prequel trilogy, Stratification, and I enjoyed reading This Gulf of Time and Stars. It completely […]
