Greetings again dear sentients!

This week I want to talk to you guys about books. Obviously I want to slip in a quick reminder to go review The Life Engineered on Amazon and Goodreads and also to pre-order A God in the Shed (my next book on Inkshares should it fund), but I mostly want to point you to the books of three friends and acquaintances that I think you should look at.

Since you’re into Science Fiction, obviously, I want to first point you to my friend A.C. Baldwin’s currently funding project; The Traveller’s Cup. A.C. (Amanda) is a skilled and hard working writer with a vivid imagination framed by a solid logical outlook. A perfect combination for a Science Fiction author and it shows in her work.

Another Science Fiction project that deserves your attention, especially if you’re into having your mind blown by outlandish ideas that challenge how you see the future, is Pilot X by Tom Merritt. Tom tackles the often misused trope of Time Travel in this broadly imaginative and well thought out book about civilization living with time travel as a matter of fact. True to form, it is a very analytical and in depth exploration of the themes and their impact on society.

Finally, a few people have compared The Life Engineered to a murder mystery of sorts. However, if you want a true murder mystery I highly recommend Christopher Huang’s Murder at the Veteran’s Club. Christopher is an incredibly talented writer that has a classic voice to his prose fitting of the time period and themes of his book.

Check out these three books and please, browse around the Inkshares catalogue. There’s a lot of great work in there and the selection is growing daily.

Cheers,

JF
