Happy New Year, everyone! We’ve kept things quiet for a bit so we could all enjoy the holidays. But behind the scenes, things have been rumbling right along. The best news has been that people have loved At First Contact, our latest release. Not one, not two, but three major outlets asked new author Janice…
When The Eighth Key came out last spring, it made an impact. Not only was it a gripping fantasy yarn, but it was a steamy, slow burn male/male romance. One reviewer praised it for “making consent sexy”. Another found it refreshing that gay angst wasn’t featured, just a great gay couple. Our favorite review gushed…
Amazing Stories, started in 1926, is the oldest science fiction publication in existence. So you can bet we were honored when they asked if they could interview two of our authors. You may know that Gideon Marcus and Janice L. Newman, when they aren’t writing novels, maintain the Hugo nominated Galactic Journey — a time…
I’m so excited. My first novel-length work, At First Contact, had been published! It’s been a long time coming, the culmination of more than two years’ work (oh, how the pandemic slowed everything down…). Each tale is its own story, independently created and designed to stand alone. And yet, now that they have been combined…
It was kind of inevitable. Once the worst of the pandemic was over (we’re vaxxed and boosted — go House Pfizer!) we knew we’d be hitting all the local and regional shows. After all, the funnest part of running a press is meeting all of you cool people! Well, that and writing Pinky jokes. We’ve…
All I can say about October is “Wow!” Last year was tough as anything. With the pandemic raging, live shows were out of the question and bookstores were shuttered. Running a press was like one-armed mountain-climbing — it can be done (shout out to Maureen Beck!), but it’s a lot harder. So I guess it…
It’s been a long road, but Sirena, book two in The Kitra Saga, is here at last! Writing is something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s really something I’ve always been doing. I wrote my first real science fiction story when I was 14 for Freshman English, and I’ve written nonfiction professionally since 2015. But…
For many years, the only way to get a book published was to work with a traditional publisher. Traditional publishers were the only ones who had access to printing at a reasonable cost and distribution at a large enough scale to make selling books worthwhile.
Until the internet.
Let me start with the most important news: Only until the end of this month, the e-book version of Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women (1958-1963) is on sale for just $2.99. That’s half price, folks. There. You can stop reading. Oooorrr… you can hear me explain why it’s on sale. And also hear some exciting…
Books take on lives of their own. They spread like a beneficial virus, through word-of-mouth. Once we figured out how to get books in front of readers, all of a sudden, they were free to run wild. And run they did!
