Veronica Reviews George Clooney’s THE MIDNIGHT SKY #SciFi Dystopian Film
NOTE: This post first appeared on the AMAZING STORIES Magazine blog…
Somber.
That’s the word which comes to my mind as I was watching George’s Clooney’s “The Midnight Sky” and as I sit here reviewing the film.
Sure there are a few light hearted moments here and there – a food fight with frozen peas comes to mind and good natured banter between the crew of a spaceship – but the overall tone is dark. That’s not a meant as a criticism, however, because the subject matter is heavy and dystopian and ...

Veronica Reviews Gerard Butler’s #SciFi Movie ‘Greenland’
Note: This post first appeared on the AMAZING STORIES Magazine blog…
I love dystopian science fiction in books, movies and TV shows so I was happy to watch “Greenland,” the new Gerard Butler action adventure film. Briefly, Clarke, a comet “from another solar system” is on its way to Earth when it breaks apart and at first is expected only to be a spectacular light show as fragments enter the atmosphere and burn up. Oh wait, maybe a few bigger pieces will hit the ground. No, on third thought, may...

Veronica Scott’s Personal Picks for Memorable SciFi/Fantasy/Paranormal Romance Covers for 2020
One of the fun things I get to do every week is look at all the new book covers in my favorite genres. Once a year I attempt to distill down to a purely personal post on a small percentage of covers which stood out in my mind as particularly memorable.
There are two parts to the creation of this post – first, when I started thinking about the most memorable science fiction romance covers I’d seen in 2020, I took my pen in hand and wrote down the ten which came immediately to mind. It’s an arbitr...

Why I Wrote JAMOKAN – New Badari Warriors #SciFi Romance Novel
VS Note: This post first appeared on Pauline Baird Jones’s blog…
This year was a challenge as far as writing. With all that was going on with the pandemic, lockdowns, social distancing, not seeing the grandkids, political stuff – wow, the Muse didn’t want to write. I thought I’d just do a short novella about Jamokan, the third Badari Alpha, and at least put out something.
Turned out Jamokan is a much more complex guy than I anticipated and the book ended up being 85K words and taking two extra m...
