- Harry J. Connolly: Home pageI’ve been told that the best home page a writer can show is the one that displays their books (along with synopsis, blurbs, links to sample chapters and buy links); rather than force people to click through a couple of links to buy a book, they can do so right at the front. So [...] […]
- Keri Arthur: UK & Ireland day 4Day four was a bloody long day. We journeyed from our hotel in Mullion to our eventual destination in Broadway (Cotswolds) and we were travelling for just over 12 hours (including stops). In fact, we made our Broadway hotel with 2 minutes left on the driver’s clock—the tour buses here shut the engine down once [...] […]

Every day (unless I screw up, which I probably will) I’ll give away a book or themed set of books to someone who asks for it. To enter, [...] […]

As a result, I’m several days behind, but I will try to catch up. On to the tales of day 3…. A full day of touring, some mayhem and misdirection, [...] […]

If it’s possible for a piece of fiction to produce chills in these overheated days of summer, Sean McMullen’s “The Precedent” will do it. McMullen sees us as a tipping-point generation when it comes to global warming, and his story is a classic example of “If this goes on….”
With this outrageous new novel, China Miéville has written one of the strangest, funniest, and flat-out scariest books you will read this—or any other—year. The London that comes to life in Kraken is a weird metropolis awash in secret currents of myth and magic, where criminals, police, cultists, and wizards are locked in a war [...]

Recrossing the Styx, a short story by Ian R. MacLeod from the May/June 2010 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
There is an interesting article on Salon.com about the coming “revolution” in publishing.
“When their former dictator, Augusto Pinochet, died four years ago, thousands of Chileans poured into the streets to celebrate — but that’s small potatoes compared to the crowds lining up to dance on the grave of traditional book publishing. The industry, we’re forever [...]

From time to time Suvudu will invite established and bestselling SF/fantasy authors to chat online about topics of interest to writers, and then we’ll post the transcripts of each discussion, plus related material, here on the Suvudu Library.
Our first Master Class is a discussion on how to research. Our guests are Elizabeth Moon, author of the Nebula Award-winning The Speed of Dark as well as numerous science fiction series and, most recently, a return to her epic fantasy roots with Oath of Fealty. Joining her is Jack Campbell, author of the New York Times bestselling Lost Fleet series and many other novels.
