A one-day #sciencefiction convention in Perth – a chance to talk about #books, #games, #films etc. with an emphasis on #Scottish writers. Guest of honour Francesca Barbini, founder of Luna Press
The Wizard's Scion centers on the life of a great wizard's son as he grows from a teen with barely any control over his magic to a powerful wizard that's master of arcane secrets all his own. Follow his adventures as he grows to maturity, both in magic and in life experience.
Levi mourns the recent loss of his parents, but old enemies of his father refuse to give him the time to grieve.
A deposed price with a time machine seeks the throne of a vast, star-spanning empire, scouring history for allies to strike at Levi's father in the past, when he's vulnerable.
Born of human heart and mind,
The Gods thought man blind:
Science stole man’s heart,
Forcing Gods to depart.
A refuge built, a new home made,
Which man did invade!
The Four Horsemen rise,
For man’s action wasn’t wise!
The Gods may be forgotten,
But a war has man begotten!

For the first book in Anne McCaffrey's now legendary Dragonriders of Pern series, I wanted to create a literal visualization of the title. I selected an aerial point-of-view and tilted the horizon to simulate the dizzying sensation of flight. 1/4
When a plague wipes out most of the world’s male population and civilization crumbles, women struggle to build an agrarian community in the English countryside.
It's true! You can get the brand-new audiobook edition of "Shards" for just $4. That's over seven hours of spine-tingling speculative fiction for way less than a dollar per-hour. Grab it now before I come to my senses and start charging what it's actually worth! 🎧🙂👍
