    Post-Apocalyptic! End of the World books

    Forgot to mention the first volume of ARIA is Left Luggage. It's apocalyptic in that infectious amnesia diffuses from the opening of a case from space and within months society breaks down - well, wouldn't you? 5 * reviews including "Endorsed by Mike Resnick ARIA is only for readers desiring a...

    Call for SF Reviewers of award-wining series

    How heavy are you? ;) Obviously if you are Lisa Tuttle (reviewer occasionally for the Times) or Amazon reviewer top scorer then yeay, but I'll be happy for anyone who either blogs or places reviews on review sites like this one, and Amazon, etc.

    Call for SF Reviewers of award-wining series

    Hello there, Meadow. Well, that's an interesting question. I am seeking a reviewer who enjoys medical mysteries, characters that sing from the page, an original high concept, a plot that moves quickly and yet takes time to ponder, for romance here and there, and angst. A reviewer prepared to be...

    What's It Like By You Today?

    Just returned from babysitting duties in Manchester. Weather forecaster was spot on when she quipped: We're going to have the rain belt that keeps on giving. But I couldn't keep the toddlers in the house cos a floor man was hammering & the boys wanted to play with his nails & keep asking 'What...

    What is your all time favourite Crime, Mystery or Thriller?

    Like my writing, my reading tastes in thriller mysteries are rather bizarre. I like humorous thrillers and so absorb gleefully anything by Michael Dibdin, who passed away too young in 2007. Especially enjoy his Aurello Zen detective / Mafia novels based in the Mezzogiorno in Italy - Back to...

    Lot's happened in 12 months & it keeps on giving

    1) NEWS in 2013: Voted best SF of 2012 at P&E Readers Poll. Suppose amnesia was infectious? Thank goodness it isn’t but imagine the ramifications if it was. ARIA: LEFT LUGGAGE is the personal story of people, the breakdown of society and yet hope for the few who escaped. Click on this link to...

    Post-Apocalyptic! End of the World books

    Hi Martin, hope I'm not infringing any rules here but ARIA: Left Luggage is apocalyptic and post apocalyptic with an original concept. It won the Best SF novel of 2012 award at the Preditors & Editors Poll (top out of 86 entries) and there's a youtube vid trailer here Cheers, Geoff

    Looking for a decent fantasy series.

    The Mythago Wood series by Robert Holdstock was read by my SFF book group recently and well received. Particularly intriguing if you are into arboreal spookiness. If you want more than a hint of eroticism with your forest horror then Blood Fugue by Joseph d'Lacey published this year (2012) is a...

    How an original idea developed

    From conception of a unique concept (a rarity for any genre even SF) to marketing was the mission of the Ideas4writers blog editor, Dave Haslett. So with the sham agents, awkward publishers and helpful critiquers, here's the complete confession of how ARIA came about. Guest post: Geoff...

    Everybody's an author now.

    I've written several non-fiction works, 50 shorts and a handful of novels but I'm far too lazy to self-publish them. Let others do the work.

    Shh! Don't look at him. Maybe he'll go away... ;)

    Hello WV, It is amazingly hard to convert a book to audio yourself. I have a humour thriller, Escaping Reality, that a couple of blind friends wanted as audio. It took me and two actors 16 hours to read a scripted version to a microphone. It should have only taken 11 hours but it is humour...
