All month-long I have been exploring science fiction and fantasy through the conjoined bookish blogosphere event Sci-Fi Experience! I haven’t had the pleasure of knitting together my posts until this last week of January, but I have been wholly enthused with the subject nonetheless! Including seeking out new authors to explore, writing up a ‘classic science fiction’ section for my tCC master reading list, and seeing which books I can tackle extending into February as much as through the months leading forward! Science fiction has always been a centerpiece in my life since that fateful moment at the age of seventeen when I discovered how much my heart was captivated by the genre itself! Nibblings of acknowledging this fact were quite evident as young as seven, but I suppose it took ten years to see the obvious!? Laughs. Sometimes we overlook things that are right in front of our nose!
All week-long, I will be celebrating by bringing forward book reviews for the following Seventh Star Press titles:
Writers Workshop on Science Fiction and Fantasy edited by Michael Knost
The Brotherhood of the Dwarves by D.A. Adams
Crown of Vengeance (Book One of Fires of Eden series) by Stephen Zimmer
At the very same time I have a few special extra surprises in store for my readers and visitors alike! I am kicking off the celebration of this wicked sweet Indie Press by spotlighting a Guest Post by author D.A. Adams. He delves into his inspiration and motivations in writing stories centered around dwarves! The answer might surprise you! It warmed my heart when I read his explanation! As I thought I might be one of the few who appreciate the hearty dwarves! I’ll explain a bit more in what I am referring too when the post goes live, following this announcement!
