INTRODUCE YOURSELF

[Leonard]

I have a new Sci-Fi novel that I am promoting. It is my first published novel and I am very proud of it. Brain Drain is a fun novel that is hard science fiction with well developed characters. It has a solid plot that draws the reader in to the world of alien pirates and AI computers. Check out the intro on Amazon.com and let me know what you think. Cheers. Leonard Gaultois

[Dean]

Hey, my name is Daisukee and I am currently writing a fantasy book called Pheonix, intended to be a series. I enjoy YA and Teen fiction so this is the genre I have begun writing in. I have started to put up the first few chapters of my book for review and general comments at https://www.facebook.com/ShadowSeries...

[C.A.]

Hello all. My name is C.A. Hartway, and I am an artist and author. I enjoy action-packed, heroic Sci-Fi, especially where the protagonist must discover his or her hidden power in order to gain victory. I expect my epic novel, "Day Of Rain: Rise Of The False Prophet" to become a major motion picture soon. In the mean time, I am working on more stories with female heroes.

[Alan]

Hi there... I am an author and editor, and most of what I have published has been sci-fi. I published the final volume of a trilogy September 1 which deals with dimensional and time travel. (Tilt The Gatespace Trilogy.) I also edit short story anthologies -- an annual horror anthology in October, of which two volumes have been published. Two others are planned each year. Glad to "meet" all of you!

[Deneen]

Hi! I'm Deneen Ansley and I'm the author of YE GODS! Child of Light, the first book in a series. You can't read it yet because I'm still getting it ready to publish and BOY OH BOY is editing and proofing HARD WORK! Especially in the middle of moving from state to state. Especially dragging along with lots of primitive dogs and housecats (aren't they necessary props for the "writery" atmosphere?)!

You CAN read teasers and excerpts, like and share the Facebook page. That would be most welcome! It's here:

I'm also the founder of the Shared Words writing group (we've just published our first group work that features LOTS of science fiction, as well as other genre, super-short drabbles). You can find it, and a link to my author page, here:

[R.J.]

Hello,

RJ here, I've been writing since I was eight years old and telling stories for as long as I can remember. I deal mainly with the fantasy and science fiction genres but have dabbled a little in nearly everything.

I've moved into publishing my works, with the first out way back in April and the next coming out this upcoming March. It took me a year to get my feet under me, but I've had a great deal of fun, and it's hard to say no to characters like Av and Aren.

[Frank]

Hi Steve,

I'm a so-called veteran writer, but you know it's the same challenge to produce new books. If you like militaristic science fiction, I've written one that's very cheap on kindle - It's set in the US, which is unusual for me, and called The Doomsday Genie.

Good luck with your writing.

[Darius, God-Mod]

Nice to meet you Frank! Hope you enjoy everything this group has to offer.

I'm Becca Hardy--science fiction writer. My debut novel, The Warren, is Book One in the SEVERXANCE Living Legacy Saga. It's a story about a modern-day Tesla (Quinn Stevens) who gets befriended by an invincible alien (Foster Luck) who's trying to get back to his own universe. Trouble is, Foster has no idea how he even got to Earth. The more time they spend together the more Quinn questions how he and his circle of friends got caught up in Foster's search for answers in the first place. If you're up for science, drugs, and rock and roll check out www.severxance.com

For others, I publish biographies, sci-fi, romance and genealogy. I like to read lots of different books and genres, just to keep in touch with the general trend.

[Leonard]

Hello, I'm Leonard Walker, and I'd like to introduce my debut novel, The Wormhole Effect, published by Synergebooks in November of last year. I've always loved the concept of a time-travel saga and the intrigue possible with paradoxes when characters loop back through time and affect the future. My novel is a love story that explores the relationship of two people thrown together by this paradox and twists itself into a tale of adventure and discovery at the most top secret military base on Earth. I tried to create believable, sympathetic characters to draw the reader into the story and to satisfy the need for the reader to lose himself/herself in the adventure. I also opted for an independent and assertive female protagonist who falls for a man not because she needs a man, but because she and the man need each other. It is an awakening for her as well as the man thrown through time who must deal with enemies seen and unseen who seek to end his life and restore the timeline. I also wanted to take my readers into Area 51 for a guided tour of a base beneath the base known to very few people. I toyed with my military security clearance and disguised only the necessary facts to keep the men in black suits from appearing at my door. I remind my readers that this is a work of fiction, but much of the background science is based on solid fact. If you can read this story with the idea that this could have actually happened, then I have done my job.

Hello everyone! SF/F writer here, with 2 published works and four more coming down the pipe.

Siege of Praetar is the first book in the Tales of a Dying Star series. I (subjectively) think it's pretty great, and so far most people seem to think so. The synopsis:

The red giant Saria is dying.

Praetar, a sand-blown planet, lies occupied. Its people are buried and beaten, forced to toil for the Melisao Empire that prepares to flee their star. Hyken, a Sentinel pilot in orbit around the planet, is faced with a moral dilemma that forces him to choose between his co-pilot and their mission. Mira, a factory worker on Praetar, struggles to make a better life for her daughters--using what little resources at her command. A slumlord named Bruno makes his own arrangements, gathering what meager power he can in the Empire's scramble to flee.

Caught up in the exodus, these people struggle to survive. Are they strangers, or do their decisions affect one-another in unexpected ways?

[Drayton]

Hello,
My name is Drayton Alan I'm an old electronics technician who didn't find out he enjoyed writing science fiction until he turned fifty. Please take a moment and look at the first two novels in my Sci-Fi series "The Founders Gifts" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The story is about a young man who finds an ancient hi tech artifact on a future colony of earth where technology is forbidden.

Just about everyone has enjoyed them thus far and I'd love to get feedback!

Species Survival by Ken Hollar

Free download 04/06/2015- 04/10/2015 on KDP SELECT
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PFX2UO6

Science fiction novel exploring the last great frontier: the human mind.

Hiding in plain sight while on the run they sustain a tide of kindness in an unkind world without making waves that would attract the men and “dogs” hunting them.

Through extensive interviews the government has discovered that very young children have invisible friends that when parents ask to see them are always “in the other room.” These entities, peripheroids, have given children directions about world peace, an eventuality for which the military is not prepared. Desperate to save themselves they blame peripheroids for the alarming increase in autism: a condition, at its worst, where the child is “in another room” in his or her mind and can’t be reached by anyone, even their loving parents.

As they grow almost all children forget these invisible friends. Only two humans are known to have talked to peripheroids after age two. Both have been watched every second of their lives. She knows this. He doesn’t.

When she finds him he discovers that the recurrent dream that has haunted him is really a suppressed memory. Can she help him unlock that memory and the untapped powers of his mind and body fast enough to survive until they find the children they seek who are, literally, the key to long term species survival for mankind?

Hey guys,

I'm a sci-fi/fantasy author, and just released the third book in my Tales of a Dying Star series, Sword of Blue. The synopsis is below:

The Exodus is near.

The supplies have been gathered, the passengers are boarded, and the mighty Olitau--the greatest ship ever built--is complete. But all Admiral Acteon can think about is the dead son before him, killed on a routine patrol above a planet far away. His legacy is surely shattered... until an unexpected visitor presents him with another option. An impossible option.

On the planet's surface stands a boy caught between two rivaling worlds. Without the proper Academy marks Charlie has no hope of becoming a pilot for the Empire. Yet the Children of Saria, the sun-worshiping religious cult, refuse to trust someone raised in the privileged inner city. Until a mission surfaces that only Charlie can complete. Is this his chance to prove his value, or will he remain loyal to the world he grew up in? Does the survival of civilization rest in the decision of one boy?

Hi,
I'm a psychologist and parapsychologist. I published my first sci-fi, The SHIVA Syndrome, on April 6th and have gotten very positive feedback. SHIVA had been endorsed by Dr. Stanley Krippner, an internationally known psychologist and parapsychologist. Midwest Book Review said, "It’s very highly recommended, indeed; especially for thriller and sci-fi readers who have become deluged with too much predictability and who seek cutting-edge action, believable protagonists, and action that is solidly intense throughout."
I'm being urged to write a sequel and prequel, but haven't caught my breath yet.
