About SciFi Mind

nebula SciFiMind

Something is struggling to be born in this damaged and inspiring world, and I believe science fiction and its speculative cousins are helping us figure out what it is.

@LindaNagata is a writer I discovered last year, and have not looked back. Whether it’s SF or fantasy, she is a go to author on my short list. Check out her upcoming “Needle,” the third in the Inverted Frontier series. #writingcommmunity https://twitter.com/LindaNagata/status/1525939289866981376

Linda Nagata@LindaNagata

So—amidst all the grimness of the world—I have a new book coming out. NEEDLE is the third volume of my far-future series, Inverted Frontier. It’ll be out on July 12, with gorgeous cover art by the amazing Sarah Anne Langton (@xHelloSarahx).
1/5

About the Author

A late-comer to the worlds of science fiction, John Folk-Williams circled around it, first by blogging (primarily through Storied Mind) about inner struggles and the mind’s way of distorting reality. Then he turned directly to SFF as an amazing medium for re-envisioning the mind and the worlds it creates. He started this blog as a way to experiment with writing science fiction and to learn from its many masterful practitioners.
