Updated Upcoming Fiction Releases

Well, just a quick note to let you know that I've updated the Upcoming Fiction Releases page with next Tuesday's books.

There are quite a few Sci-Fi/Fantasy releases in paperback for the 28th. Maybe there will be one you've been waiting on. :-)

Have a great week everyone. I hope to catch up on my "site of the week" next week after my CASA report is finished and I have a bit more time to scour the internets for fun and informative resources for my fellow writers.

Upcoming Fiction Releases

It has been ages since I've posted my site of the week. My apologies.

I have excuses. Bad ones, but unfortunately true ones. The LSAT draws near and I am in full panic mode once again. When I'm not studying, I'm working on my CASA case. Which, as it turns out, is one of the rarities and is coming to a close very quickly. That means that I'm scrambling like a mad woman to get my report finished for the court by next Wednesday. I am still managing to squeeze in a bit of writing because if I didn't, I'd lose what tiny shreds of my sanity I have remaining. :-)

So, in lieu of my site of the week, I've (finally) updated the upcoming fiction releases page. You'll find fiction hitting book stores on September 21st and a few more. So, until I have time to track down some more fun and informative sites for you to peruse, I hope that knowing which books are coming out soon will be a sufficient offering. :-)

Site of the Week - The Science Channel

So, as I was taking a break from my LSAT practice test (hey, a girl needs to eat), I stumbled upon a show I'd seen advertised - Sci Fi Science. It's on the Science Channel and is hosted by Dr. Michio Kaku one of the most prominent physicists in the world. (He's also the author of Physics of the Impossible, if you want to delve deeper into your science research.)


I decided to take a few moments and share this resource with all of you Sci Fi writers out there. I know, as a reader, I want a story that takes me into another place/time/world, but I also want to believe it could really happen - no matter how slim the reality may be. Sci Fi Science shows you how some of our favorite imaginings can really come to be. Remember, the submarine began as the creation of Jules Verne's mind!


Unfortunately, you can't watch complete episodes of Sci Fi Science online, but you can view short clips and there are links to articles on subjects like - Is creating an invisibility cloak possible? (More so than you might think, actually.)


The Science Channel's main page contains links to dozens more shows, articles, and there are even some games. :-) Personally, I could spend hours there but don't have the time now. However, I encourage you to go in my stead. Go forth and explore my fellow writers. Feed your imaginations and don't forget to feed your stomachs on occasion too. ;-P

Embrace nature's beauty. It feeds the soul.
