Kiya and the Morian Treasure by R.S. Mellette #YA #SF #NewRelease

Way back in 2014, I shared a guest post by a debut author who’d been a staff writer on the marvellous TV series, Xena: Warrior Princess. Now he’s my guest again, with his latest series starter in an epic, YA Space Opera, and some words about his background with Xena, and how that led to […]

#BookReview PICARD, THE LAST BEST HOPE by Una McCormack #StarTrek

I’ve been a Star Trek fan since the very beginning. I’ve watched all the series over the decades, and a few weeks ago I took the plunge, re-instated my access to Amazon Prime TV, and started watching Picard. I hate to admit, I was pretty confused at the start, and felt I wasn’t watching Star […]

@BookReviewTours Blog Tour – A STOLEN HEART by @kayelleallen – #scifi #spaceopera

I haven’t posted any blog tours for a while, but I’m currently reading an ARC of this book and I’m thoroughly hooked – the characters leap off the page and it’s very well written, so I thought I’d share it here. ~ Blog Tour ~  A Stolen Heart by Kayelle Allen – 20th to 25th […]

When #science follows science fiction: living robots created #SF

I just found this on my news feed and wanted to share it: another example of science creating what SF authors have speculated about for decades, even if not quite the same in the detail. Scientists claim to have created ‘living robots’ using stem cells from frog embryos. These ‘xenobots’ are able to move around, […]

A Heavenly Toasters’ Relaunch

Originally posted on Nicholas C. Rossis:
The more observant among you may have noticed that I have been quietly experimenting with the cover of A Heaven for Toasters. I removed the kissing couple and used a single man, curious to see if that would make any difference to sales. To my surprise, it did, albeit…

#BookReview – PRINCE OF DREAMS by Pippa DaCosta – Messenger Chronicles #4 #SFF #Paranormal

Continuing to catch up on my reading, I’m also catching up on my reviews. I recently shared my review for book #3 in the Messenger Chronicles: The Nightshade’s Touch, and mentioned that it grabbed me so completely I bought the next one as soon as I got off the aircraft where I’d been reading. Here […]

#BookReview – The Nightshade’s Touch by Pippa DaCosta #SFF #Paranormal

Time to catch up with another review… Fae in space – awesome! A truly masterful mix of fantasy and SF, with a slow-burn reverse harem at its heart. This one is for Book #3 in The Messenger Chronicles by Pippa DaCosta – see my reviews of the previous books: Shoot the Messenger Game of Lies […]

BookBub, #FREE #SFF reads, #WIN a $25 gift card, and my WIP. An eclectic post!

In the lead up to Christmas, and with the exciting news that I have a BOOKBUB feature again over the holiday period (see what it did for me last year), I’ve joined up with a group of fellow SF and fantasy authors to offer free taster books and stories, along with the chance to win […]

#BookReview – GAME OF LIES (Messenger Chronicles #2) by Pippa DaCosta #SFF

I’m writing this review as I get ready to GO ON HOLIDAY!!! Can’t wait, though it does mean I won’t be around to post much for the next few weeks – goodness knows, I’ve earned the break, even though I love both of my jobs. We are heading off to tour the Inner Hebrides, so […]

Blurb A science fiction crime adventure with plenty of humour and romance A souvlaki and some sun. That is all Detective Mika Pensive wanted from her fun weekend away on the Greek islands.
