Life is all but a vast array of Colours

I wanted my followers to get to see the cover of my selfpublished short ebook that includes 2 poems. You may think why bother publishing just 2 poems, but it really is dedicated to my stepmum who unfortunately died of Pancreatic cancer a few years ago. I never got the chance to say goodbye to her properly [...]

Library Book Addict!

I’ve just popped into town to post a book to author Keris Stainton and whilst i was stuck in the Post Office queue, i thought to myself ‘I think i’ll go have a gander in the library whilst i’m here.’ You see, really, usually that isn’t a bad thought for someone to have whilst they [...]

Sci Fi eBook Competition

OK, so it is the seventh and final day of Sci Fi Week on my blog and there could have been so much more things I could have talked about. I could have talked about Jurassic Park, which has elements of Sci Fi in it and the possible return of the franchise. I could have [...]

Farscape Fanatic

For Day Six of Sci Fi on my blog it would have been really easy for me to carry on from yesterday’s post about Star Wars; follow the trend and then talk about the other well known franchise on TV. Yes … Star Trek. But No! I’m not. Although I am not a Trekkie  I did [...]

Star Wars … I’m Just Not a Fan

For Day Five of Sci Fi on my blog, it has to be a talk about the well known franchise of Star Wars. I think it would be sacrilegious to any Sci Fi fan if it were missed off the list; and as Disney have just announced that they have bought LucasFilm from creator George [...]

Blue Dust: Forbidden by Katy Krump and Author Interview!

I’m pleased to introduce this book review and Author Interview for Day Four of Sci Week. Blue Dust: Forbidden is the first in a new series of YA Sci Fi books by author Katy Krump, published by Ghostly Publishing and if the first book is anything to go by, then the series I’m certain will [...]

Sci Fi Silver Screen

For day three of Sci Fi week on my blog, I thought I’d talk about Sci Fi on the big screen! Science Fiction films have been around for decades and have unsurprisingly been a hit. And just like the novel counterparts, Sci Fi films have taken a wide range of themes. I think the very [...]

Other Systems by Elizabeth Guizzetti and Author Interview!

Day Two of Sci Fi Week - I’ve sat here for the past five minutes wondering whether or not to post the review of the book first or the Interview first and I just don’t know. Does it really matter? I think it makes more sense to read the review of Other Systems first and then [...]

What is Sci Fi?

Well it is the first day of Sci Fi week on my blog and I thought it appropriate to discuss what the Sci Fi genre actually is. What I have recently come to realise is that the Sci Fi genre actually means different things to different people. If we look at the dictionary definition of [...]

Sci-Fi Week Coming …

I am currently reading two Sci- Fi books at the moment and to celebrate this genre, i will be running a Sci-Fi week on my blog from Monday 29th October – Sunday 4th November. This means i will be posting a new post every day of that week with the subject being Sci-Fi! Sci-Fi is [...]
