Lovely new review for Clash of Eagles: "Each detail... was carefully researched, put together in the best way possible, and it works wonderfully." Characters: Smale went all in with making each and every one of them real." Thanks, SFFInsiders! www.sffinsiders.com/home/review-...
This book perfectly encapsulates what the Roman Empire could have looked like if it had never fallen, and how it would turn out should they want to expand

Last night ! If you're a fan of thrilling and innovative SF, please consider pledging to the ZNB Kickstarter... Not gonna lie, we have a big hill to climb, but Never Say Never. Lots of great writers and editors have poured their hearts and souls into this indie press. I'd love to see this succeed!

Here you go: the recording from our fast-paced discussion of "For All Mankind", in all its depth and breadth, is now available for your streaming pleasure. We covered a lot of ground in that hour, I'm just sayin'. @randee.bsky.social@authorduderuss.bsky.social
ICYMI, here's the link to the video podcast panel I hosted w SFF authors Alan Smale @alansmale.bsky.social (also a retired astrophysicist), JL Gribble, and @randee.bsky.social as we broke down the alternate history sci-fi series FOR ALL MANKIND seasons 1-4! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbNY...
Host and author Russ Colchamiro led an hour-long discussion with SFF authors JL Gribble, Randee Dawn and former astrophysicist Alan Smale about the alternate history/sci-fi thriller series FOR ALL MANKIND season 1-4. They discussed the resonance of real history, going big or going home, national ego politics, subversive storylines, the focus on the LGBTQ+ communities and women's rise to power and influence, the connections to Star Trek and The Expanse, becoming Martians out of a galactic tantrum, making deals with the Devil, the impact that a few rogue players have the outcome of an entire planet, and how the series morphed from a science-heavy alt history of the US and Russian space programs into a pulpier, less-grounded sci-fi thriller.
I mean, I would, but you’re sleeping right now and I don’t want to disturb you.
Coming up at 8pm! Join us while we discuss the past and future in space that we might have had, and all the ins and outs of this popular Apple TV drama!
