Soft-serve Sci-Fi
Over the course of my lifetime, science fiction has gone from a niche-market storyform aimed at geeks and propeller-heads to a cultural juggernaut consumed by the masses. So you would think that, as a one-time card-carrying member of the Junior Space Ranger’s Adventure Club, I would be delighted by the scifi-rich world I now find myself living in.
But I’m not.
Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing a...

| Feels like a high school production of Cinderella, starring the Weasley family, that can't decide whether it's a comedy or a thriller. Plenty of individual bits to like, but they never quite came together for me. | |

| Well written, but frustrating. I love a good underdog, struggling to achieve justice in a cruel world. But the one thing I can't tolerate is when that underdog continually undermines himself through stupidity. That stupidity can take many forms: glar ...more | |

| I don't think this was aimed at me. Given the title and hints in the blurb, I expected a multiverse time travel story. And it did indeed seem to be going that way. A physicist husband working on "causality violation" and a "let's never speak of this" ...more | |

| This feels very much like a first novel. Too much telling instead of showing, melodramatic, and entirely lacking in nuance. I've enjoyed much of Nix's later stuff, but I bailed on this one before reaching chapter two. | |

| A solid story from start to finish, but not much in the human dimension. The descriptions of the maneuvering and ordinance strategies were excellent, but overall, I was left a bit unfulfilled. This is much more a "how the battle was fought" than a "w ...more | |

| The first time I read this I was more enamored than the second. It's an interesting premise and it certainly has enough twists to keep it interesting during the read, but it fails my "remembering it later" test. I read it for the first time only 2 or ...more | |

| Not terrible, but underwhelming. Thin characters. The world behind the story was more interesting than the story itself, and the crime being unraveled felt pretty contrived. | |

Did you change your website name? I tried going to it, and it failed to do so. :<
Welcome aboard, Lucinda. Yes, working in special effects was a lot of fun, but exhausting, too. I'm glad I did it, but I'm glad I do other things now, too. :-)
Dear Jefferson Smith, I would like to thank you for the unexpected but most humbling friendship request here on Goodreads, which is a fanatastic site where one is able to converse with so many likeminded people both readers and authors. I am a huge fan of the fantasy genre amongst others, and i do hope that in the future i have the oportunity of reading your book 'Strange Places: finding Tayna' which caught my eye instantly with its striking cover and origional plot.
Thank you once again and do feel free to discuss anything about books, writing, ideas and thoughts.
Lucinda x
(oh, and wow at working in special effects! That must have been increadible).
I'll friend you on Facebook. I deleted my twitter though.
Jennifer wrote: "Hey, so when do you think you're next section to the Tayna series will come out?"Thanks for asking, Jennifer. My publisher tells me the release is scheduled for December, although we're talking about releasing some sneak peeks before that. If you want to stay abreast of any announcements, friend me on FB or follow me on Twitter (@Jefficus). (There's also a cool contest going on right now, which you can learn about at those same coordinates.)
