I appreciate your interest and hope you enjoy ZERO TIME as much as I loved researching and writing it. <br />That's great that your dad and aunt were both sci fi fans! I stumbled onto Jules Verne pretty early, then Michael Crichton. One of my early problems as a sci-fi reader was not having anyone to suggest good books. Thank goodness for the internet! <br />I recently got back into reading romance novels, and SFR in particular, after I met some fun writers like Heidi Ruby Miller at the Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday blog. With new snippets every Saturday, it's a great way to find new sci-fi writers (and many are SFR). One I'm looking forward to reading is Cary Caffrey's THE GIRLS FROM ALCYONE--it's waiting impatiently on my iPad.T.W.

Of course, my reading tastes are pretty eclectic! I've always been a sci-fi fan, but have taken long spells when I didn't read it at all. I started writing science fiction in the mid-90s after taking a world-building class taught by George Alec Effinger. And I had the opportunity to attend Clarion, one of the top sci fi/fantasy writing workshops. I also took a weekend class with Orson Scott Card. If you want to try sci fi, his book ENDERS GAME might be a fun one to start with, or Heidi Ruby Miller's sci fi romance AMBASADORA. You'd probably love Pauline Baird Jones' books (e.g. KICKING ASHE, STEAMROLLED)...check the Broad Pod link in my post for some more ideas. Nice meeting you, Renee!T.W.

My dad and my aunt were such avid science fiction readers and advocates that it rubbed off on me. Of course, romance reading was something I picked up on my own. But imagining other worlds and their interactions is a favorite hobby of mine. So combining the two is gold for me. I'm looking forward to reading your Zero Time.<br /><br />Thanks Sarah for hosting!<br />MelissaMelissa Starkhttp://www.melissastark.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160870124913720433.post-4531604992757997322012-03-20T15:31:10.803-07:002012-03-20T15:31:10.803-07:00Great to meet you, TW Fendley!

Course, I suppose Wolfskin by Juliet Marillier is considered historical fantasy if I remember correctly. And I loved it. It's one of my all time favorite Viking books.<br /><br />Never read a science fiction book though. How did you get into writing science fiction? Were you influenced in some way? By someone or something? I'm just curious....<br /><br />Thanks Sarah for featuring TW! It was nice to get to know her.Renee Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911632561277496224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160870124913720433.post-66107915228482182012-03-20T05:11:41.174-07:002012-03-20T05:11:41.174-07:00Hi,Sarah -- Thanks so much for having me as a gues...Hi,Sarah -- Thanks so much for having me as a guest and for being a Party Host!T.W.
