Speculative Fiction Blog

We're still mired in The House of Plague.

Slow moving ... lots of moaning ... occasional screaming ... yeah, I think I've become a zombie.

Today I bring you yet another fabulous group blog (methinks this is a trend nowadays, where authors who write in a similar vein join together to promote their works, and the genre):

The Spectacle

Authors of middle grade and young adult books discuss writing science fiction, fantasy, and everything else along the spectrum of speculative fiction.

I stumbled on this blog because of a post about Trends in Middle Grade Speculative Fiction, but was sad to not see science fiction mentioned as a possible up-and-comer.

If I ever get my Middle Grade SF novel published, I will be hopping over to join this site!

Errg.  Mrrrph.  Back to the couch ...

p.s. Why can't I live in Phoenix, so I can go (er, send my kids to) the Sci-Fi Science Camp??

  1. Visit Phoenix, don't live there unless you like to bake sauna style... which might actually be good for a cold or two...

  2. @Bane Maybe I'll go sit in the sun for awhile and see if that will chase the virus away. :)

  3. I haven't gotten into the group blogging thing yet, but if I keep following you I won't be able to ignore it much longer. I just joined Twitter yesterday. I'll pop over and follow you there. Oh and there's Goodreads. Another site I'm on. When does this all get to be too much?

  4. @KarenG It's too much when your husband says, "Talking to your imaginary friends again?" Not that that's ever happened to me. That I would admit. :)

    And the Twitterverse is just too much fun. I'm a recent convert.

  7. I want to live in Phoenix just because they don't have freezing cold winters! But the camp things sounds cool too ;-)

  9. @Justine Nine months of winter was one of the reasons we left Colorado. Then again, Chicago isn't much better.

    @Myrna Thanks! They're cool kids over at The Spectacle! :)

  10. From what I've heard from people in the industry, science fiction is definitely on the rise for young people. Good luck with your projects!
