Your review team invitation & free sci-fi books
Greetings from sunny Taiwan! Spring has arrived on the beautiful isle (Taiwan's former name was Formosa - Portuguese for beautiful isle). It's the best time of year here and I'm looking forward to seeing the spring blooms in trees and cascading from apartment...
Just a Quickie & Some Science Fiction Bargains
I'm writing to you early this week in place of your usual Tuesday ship's bulletin, and it's just a quick note. The reason is, next week I'm going to be cleaning my mailing list. New passengers and crew will be arriving soon and I need to make room. So apologies for...
Scandal and Intrigue
Your ship's bulletin is packed with scandal and intrigue this week. Well, as far as scandal and intrigue are possible in the world of science fiction and fantasy writing. Let's address the scandal first. You might have come across fantasy writer Terry Goodkind's...
Star Mage Exile: Do You Want to Know More?
Our starship's shuttle landed Taiwan just a few days ago. The crew had a great time in Australia and New Zealand. It's also good to come home after a holiday too, though, don't you think? I posted pics of the highlight of our trip here. Our friends took us on a day...
Science Fantasy Free Books
It feels very strange to be writing to you from a hotel room in Christchurch, New Zealand. We arrived around midday after what was for me a surreal bus journey from Greymouth on the West Coast, across Arthur's Pass. The journey was surreal because I'd taken a travel...
Space Fantasy Freebie and Your Opinion Needed
February is knocking on my door and I just had to put the heater on (a rare event here in Taiwan). It looks like it's time for a ship's bulletin. One of the greatest pleasures of indie publishing is being able to publish your writing whenever, wherever and however you...
Sci-Fi & Fantasy Freebies
I thought I would use Jas Harrington as the header for my Starship JJ Green's ship's bulletin this week. I love the covers that the artist, Heather Hamilton Senter, created for my Shadows of the Void bundles. I felt she captured Jas' strength and integrity perfectly...
You Made My Day
It's been a long, tiring week aboard the Starship JJ Green. I've set myself a gruelling schedule for the first half of this year and boy am I feeling it now. But I received an amazing boost a few days ago. I was feeling overwhelmed and discouraged when I checked my...
Help Write a Sci-Fi Book Description
Things are hotting up as the new year swings in. I wish I could say the same for the weather! If you're currently suffering in an area with subzero temperatures and heavy snow, stay warm and stay safe. Here in Taiwan the winter monsoon has started. It rained for three...
Cover reveal: Daughter of Discord
I've been working hard on the first full novel in Star Mage Saga this week, which was why I was especially pleased to receive the cover from my artist today. Working with such a talented designer is a huge inspiration. Daughter of Discord comes out in February. ...
Competition Winners and a Sci-Fi Freebie
Happy New Year! I tend to be in bed by the time midnight rolls around on the 31st of December, but I hope your New Year celebrations went well if you had them. I have lots to tell you but let's get the most important announcements out of the way first - competition...
Story Gift & Reader Competitions
I hope you're having a great break and enjoying the long holiday weekend. I had a lovely time visiting a friend for Christmas dinner yesterday. Organising all the traditional foods is sometimes a little challenging here in Taiwan, but together we usually manage. I...
