The Dragon Page "Cover to Cover"
Conversations with Authors of Science Fiction and Fantasy
Tamara Thorne
Tamara has released her latest book, Thunder Road. Well known for her horror and ghost stories, Tamara blends her traditional fare with UFOs, cults and serial killers.
Russell Like
Russel has recently released his second novel, A Bowl of Fruit, A Whale in the Woods. This odd sounding book deals with a cast of eclectic characters traveling through paintings to access alternate reality
Robert Newcomb
Robert has released the third book in his ground-breaking high-fantasy series, The Scrolls of the Ancients. You won’t believe the story behind the book.
Adam Connell
Adam is making quite a name for himself in the science fiction world with Counterfeit Kings.
Tananarive Due writes a character driven adventure with an African-American heroine in a literary field of plot driven stories about white male heroes. That alone makes me recommend it. The fact that the book will chew you up, spit you out, and make you beg for more? Gravy.
Andrew Fox
Andrew is a second-time guest, appearing this time to speak about his latest work, Bride of the Fat White Vampire.
James Spix
Sutherlin Alliance is the debut novel from James, a long time fan of many Star Wars novels by Michael Stackpole and Timothy Zahn.
I gotta tell you, most of the time reviewing a book or movie is a piece of cake. I read the last page of a book, or stare at the end credits of a movie, and then I think to myself, “Self, what do you think?
Interview: Terry Pratchett’s fantasy/science fiction series “Discworld” is a global bestseller and fan favorite, and the latest book in the series is A Hat Full of Sky. Terry’s series (easy to jump in anywhere, by the way) should be required reading for all kids and most adults.
Interview: Today, we’re talking with Timothy Zahn about his young adult series, “The Dragonback”, and the first book in this new series, Dragon and Thief.
Gregory Benford
Gregory works in the far-future, hard science fiction realm. His latest work is Beyond Inifinty, dealing with the evolution of the human race one billion years in the future.
Gene and Grayson Steinberg
This father and son writing team wrote the novel Attack of the Rockoids, exploring the love between an alien and a human.
Interviews with Michael Stackpole, Robert E. Ferrell, and Janeen O’Kerry
An alien race, following their religious doctrines, shatter their latest peace treaty with the Sol Empire by launching an unprovoked attack against a deep space outpost. This time, however, the war between humans and aliens takes on a far more sinister overtone as the admiral of the Imperial Fleet proclaims himself “The Bringer of The Apocolypse” or The Dark Wing, a Military SF epic from Walter H. Hunt and Tor Books.
Robert J. Sawyer’s Far-Seer tells the story of Afsan, an apprentice astrologer who takes his first pilgrimage: a long and dangerous ocean voyage to find the face of god. Hungry and thirsty for knowledge, Afsan is blessed on this voyage. The ship’s captain owns a far-seer; a new invention made of lenses and tubes that enables its user to see far off objects in great detail.
Interview: David Drake’s new book, The Far Side of the Stars, is a “space opera” and is filled with action and adventure as well as telling a great story. But don’t pigeon-hole him into this sub-genre of sci fi.
Interview: Donato Giancola was the artist guest of honor at LepreCon.
Interview: The new book from Eric Van Lustbader is Mistress of the Pearl. It’s the third book Eric’s epic science fiction series, “The Pearl Saga”.
Interview: In Steven Barnes’ Zulu Heart, we find an alternate history where Africa, rather than Europe, colonized the world. It’s a whole new take on things!
Thomas Harlan
Tom deals with an alternate history which brings about an alternate future in his book, House of Reeds.
Wesley Lowe
The Griffin’s Gauntlet covers one of the classic themes of fantasy, where a normal girl finds herself questing in a magical world, encountering fantastical creatures in her journey to defeat the evil king.
Marcos Donnelly
Marcos has just released his new novel, Letters from the Flesh, an interesting alternate past/present (yes, that’s an odd way to say it…) science fiction novel released under the new imprint, Robert J. Sawyer Books.
Robert J. Sawyer
Speaking of Robert J. Sawyer Books, Rob himself joins us to talk about his new imprint, Red Deer Press.
Robert J. Sawyer is one of the Dragon Page’s best friends. Besides the fact that he writes ridiculously good science fiction, he has been generous with his time and has given us several great interviews and plugs. Which is why I’m trying to rehydrate my parched lips as I type. I’m giving the first title from his new line of books a thumbs down.
