Sci-fi and Fantasy

Marvel Comics has collected the appearances of the new Ms. Marvel - Kamala Khan - into three brilliant volumes: "No Normal", "Generation Why" and "Crushed"

In "Blood Sky", Traci L Slatton draws you into a dystopian world of destruction and pain and yet portrays the beauty of what still stands. For among the destruction there are still vistas to behold; the power of sunsets and the icy bit and tingle of frost in the air that glitters upon the damage.

"I like the freedom that writing fantasy stories gives me."

My characters are very difficult individuals. From the moment I begin developing them, they take over entirely and, as I have very character-driven stories, they call all the shots.

In "The Appearance of Anne Van Sinderen" Katherine Howe has given us a paranormal mystery and love story of emotive and serendipitous proportions. Her characters are just the right mix of mystery and heart to draw you into their lives.

The Death House is a strong YA dystopian novel about quarantined children: a celebration of hope in the direst of worlds

"Super Mutant Magic Academy": Great artistic depth in a comic about teens with magic and superpowers going through the adventures of the mundane.

"A Legend of the Future" is a strong blend of hard science and psychological fiction by a master of Cuban sci-fi.

'Benjamin Franklin, Huge Pain in my ---' is a zany, funny look at time travel of sorts, as it relates to communication. You will find yourself entranced in the antics of Ike as he seeks advice from his historical mentor.

In 'The Wiccan Witch of the Midwest,' Lerner gives us another fun and dangerous romp with his returning character Samuel Roberts.
