Happy New year

Hello all, after a short time away I am back in this the new year.

Very pleased to see the Mayan's had just lost interest in doing their calendar past 2012.

Do read the first two chapters for my book.

I will also be uploading some new poetry shortly

Science Fiction Vs Future Fiction

Science Fiction has been the familiar and somewhat inappropriate term for many of the books classified as such for the book publishing business. Editors and Publishers alike love their labels, but does the Label Science Fiction do justice to the quality or content of a book about the future.

A more appropriate term for books that are not solely based on a theory of a new science theory should be 'Future Fiction'. This Label would better describe some works that are a human story just based on the future.

There is significant snobbery with regard Science Fiction, in may ways editors and publishers completely ignore the genre completely as if it were a plague. But in reality they are missing out on some brilliantly written books with excellent characters and interesting plot lines that would put some popular 'Fiction' books to shame.

So do you think there should be a rename of 'Science Fiction' to 'Future Fiction' or perhaps a whole new genre for those books not solely based on a new science but based on brilliant characters and plots set in the future.

You decide, share and debate.

I think yes and its long, long overdue!

Readers Comments on Joanna's Dawn Science Fiction

A selection of feedback from readers:

Amazing Science fiction great opening chapter which makes you read more..... and I hate Sci fi books! Great story line with drama and suspence...... Its great to get into a story which grabs attention and interest..... Great imagination and detail some would say not necessary but really helps you relate to characters & reality.......

Story line is great to keep reader interested.... would buy despite not into sci fi storylines......

.....................................

Excellent pace, great hook on the first page. Great story, stands out from most books on thsi site as actually being a good story and not a piece of vanity writing.

Well done, I would buy

.....................................

All action, fast paced sci-fi thriller, moves like a bullet train along a trajectory or dead and mangled bodies, most of them caused by the heroine. This is clearly blockbuster stuff, Joanna Bond for the space age.

.....................................

Certainly the gore of the first chapter was enough to capture attention. There is a lot of good to be said about this writing and the author moves the plot along well.

Dear Jonathan, I love Joanna & her diligence, as you portrayed her in your pitch & all the action she is to face, sounds totally exciting. :) You put me right there with you as I read all of the way through chapter 10, to feel what you were feeling & to be in the action like, "water crashed through the darkness" :) - great word usage. :) "so don't show the shining knight with me, sister" :) - I love it. :) "whispering into his collar" :) - all I can say it "what a great write!!" :) I'll write in my mind that Joanna will find her true love & live happily ever after :) - I really love her attitude & I love happy endings. :)
