SF/F Links: More Early May Stuff
Well, I have many more links. Not much more needs be said. Here goes: From a Sci-Fi Standpoint has an interesting post about why science fiction shouldn’t be seen as an avenue to teach us science. I don’t know if I entirely agree, but it’s still interesting. This is by far one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. It’s called Greater America News and it’s essentially a fake news site set in the future. It’s not completed, unfortunately, but it has a whole bunch of videos highlighting terrorist attacks on a space elevator, and a whole load of other things. You should check it out. Tis awesome and genius. Want to see where popular science fiction and fantasy writers work? Well, go no further than here. Identity Theory has an article on how to read rejection letters. I completely agree. Interested in some interactive maps of war? Well, this site has some in-depth maps showing the various steps during some of the biggest wars in history. Might be worth a look. And now for some book giveaways: Booking Mama has a set of Patrick Carman’s Atherton Series to give away. Suzanne McLeod is giving away a copy of The Cold Kiss of Death. Reviewer X is giving away Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink. You can also find a neat publishing story by Ms. Zink here. And here is the cover for Cindy Pon’s Silver Phoenix:To add, here is a pretty cool book trailer for the same book as above: You can find more about Silver Phoenix and the giveaway going on here. Prizes include an Amazon gift card! And I think that’s all for this!
