Halcyone Space Writing News

We're a little more than a month away from the release of A STAR IN THE VOID, the novel that will close out the Halcyone Space series. (!)  My cover artist, Chris Howard, was playing around with the central images from all 5 of his covers and created this incredible postcard.

While I am always happy to sign physical books, it's not quite posible with ebooks. That's where the postcards come in. If you would like a signed postcard, please just reply or send a new email to lisa@ljcohen.net. Include your 'snail mail' address and your name and I'll get one out to you right away!

If you are (or know) a book reviewer and/or book blogger, please let me know and I will be happy to send you an e-ARC of the novel ahead of its publication in July. 


Science Fiction Book Bundle

I am pleased to have ITHAKA RISING as part of this bundle of science fiction novels written by members of SFWA (The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America).

https://storybundle.com/scifi

This massive curated bundle has 18 different authors and twenty books. It features New York Times Bestselling authors Michael Cooper, Mike Shepard, and Felix R. Savage, USA Today Bestselling Author Kevin McLaughlin, International Bestselling Authors Glynn Stewart, Craig Martelle, Jennifer Foehner Wells, Terry Mixon, Amy DuBoff, and much more.

You can buy the 6 main books for just $5, of if you're interested in even more scifi goodness, pay just $15 minimum to get all 20 books (that's an additional 14 bonus books)

That's less than a dollar a novel, so even if you've already read ITHAKA RISING, there's a ton of other great stuff here.

(And you can opt to have some of your payment support a charity/non-profit cause.)

This bundle is available for a limited time - through May 21st, so go take a look and please spread the word.

   

LJ Recommends

 

I read widely, across genres and when I've found something I've enjoyed, I'll nag you about . . . I mean share it with you.

YMMV* because what we enjoy is almost always personal.

THE RAMSHEAD ALGORITHM AND OTHER STORIES

by KJ Kabza

I first met KJ in a workshop we both participated in about ten years ago. From the first story of KJ's that I read, I knew I was seeing something special. 

I've been watching KJ's career over the years and was thrilled when I saw this collection was being published. Yes, I'm a fan. This is what I wrote for my blurb: 

"Kabza's stories take us to realms where the mundane becomes magical and the weird perfectly ordinary. His writing pushes the lyricism of Bradbury into edgy and odd places to create powerful work that is wholly original, delightfully strange, and emotionally resonant."

I highly recommend this collection of short stories.

     

Upcoming Appearances

I'll be appearing at Readercon 29, July 12 - 15, 2018 in Quincy, MA. I don't yet have my panel schedule, but you can probably find me at the Broad Universe table in the bookstore there!

I'll have paperback copies of A STAR IN THE VOID and all the Halcyone Space books to sign.
