Hey everyone! This month we have our very own Paul Regnier for our seven questions interview. Paul is a technology junkie and web designer with a fascination for all things futuristic. He has turned his childhood love of storytelling into a professional pursuit. Please join me in welcoming Paul today! 1) What is your favorite part of speculative fiction? There’s no limits to the imagination. For me, it’s the genre of writing that sets creativity free. You can create your own worlds, language, technology, magic, cultures, transportation, and more. 2) Everyone seems to have a “how I got published” story. …
Between the Lines: Leviathans of Jupiter by Ben Bova
There’s a reason Ben Bova has won six Hugo Awards. The man is a phenomenal writer of science-fiction. Not only does he take hard sci-fi concepts and make them accessible, but he populates his stories with memorable characters. Admittedly, I’m late to the party when it comes to appreciating his work. I’ve only read a handful of his books, and even those, only in the past few years. That said, the greatest measure I have for a novel is whether I will find it a home on my bookshelf and read it again, at least once. Leviathans of Jupiter fits …

Jill and John at Salt Lake Comic Con
By Jill Williamson John W. Otte and I had never attended a comic con in our lives—let alone gone as panelists! But we managed to get ourselves on the panelists list for the second Salt Lake Comic Con, which in just two years, quickly became the third biggest con in the nation. I’ve attended a lot of conventions, mostly homeschool or librarian ones, but this felt pretty much the same, booth-wise. We checked in, then lugged our stuff to the booth and set it up. We did this the day the event opened, so it wasn’t long after we …

Spec-Fic Subgenres: Steampunk & Cyberpunk
I read my first steampunk book just a couple months ago. (Armored Hearts, by Pauline Creeden and Melissa Turner Lee if you really want to know.) Since then, the steampunk radar in my head goes off every time I pass a book cover with gears or cool goggles on it. Today we’re digging into steampunk and cyberpunk. While they both have the word punk in them, you’ll find they’re quite different. Steampunk Steampunk has not yet figured out exactly which genre it falls under — science fiction or fantasy. I’ve seen many people placing it under both, and it really comes …
