Sci-Fi with a Slant - Blind Gambit by Jon Cronshaw #SciFi #Speculative #BookFair

Though Blind Gambit is a fun sci-fi tale in the vein of Ready Player One, it’s primarily about disability.

As a writer who has only five percent vision left in my good eye, I wanted to write something to capture the experience of living with a disability.

I’ve read a lot of book featuring blind characters (rarely protagonists), and I’ve yet to come across a blind character who feels real.

So, I decided to mash together a love letter to gaming (something I can no longer do), with a story and main character I hope will resonate as true without being preachy, especially to other readers living with disabilities.

Sci-Fi with a Slant - Experimental Magics by Alex Evans @aeltevans #SciFi #Speculative #BookFair

A cross-genre steampunk-fantasy. Magic is cyclical, it appears and disappears through time and is studied like any science in a research lab.

Sci-Fi with a Slant – Galaxy Cruise by Marcus Alexander Hart #SciFi #Speculative #BookFair

Sci-Fi with a Slant - Galaxy Cruise by Marcus Alexander Hart #SciFi #Speculative #BookFair

A strange sci-fi comedy. Not quite space opera, and definitely not military science fiction. But it is funny, in a Futurama meets the Love Boat kind of way. And it has a sweet-clean lesbian romance as its B story.

Sci-Fi with a Slant – Cyber Fighter by William Joseph Hill #SciFi #Speculative #BookFair

Kayelle Allen

Sci-Fi with a Slant - Cyber Fighter by William Joseph Hill #SciFi #Speculative #BookFair

A hero's journey in the vein of Star Wars, without the spaceships...

A kind-of "Marvel-esque" origin story of a new type of superhero...

What if you could instantly get expert fighting skills downloaded directly to your brain?

Matrix meets Die Hard and the action keeps going

Cyber Fighter metaphorically explores the over-reliance of technology to acquire knowledge and skills. The idea that you can download mastery directly to your brain (like an app) without putting in the work, and the weaponization of that technology, creating a new worldwide threat. With how we are all connected digitally over the internet and social media, what if you could take that tech and apply it to real life? The book merges sci-fi elements with the martial arts, using familiar tropes and humor to create a fun adventure. It's part kung-fu movie, with the flavor of a spy thriller with a dash of cyberpunk. Favorite genres blended into a melting pot. This novel is based on a feature film script being developed into a movie.

Sci-Fi with a Slant – The Problem with Uncle Teddy’s Memoir by Ed Charlton #SciFi #Speculative #BookFair

Kayelle Allen

The Problem with Uncle Teddy's Memoir

This is officially an "epistolary novel," made of letters, email, office notes, as well as the manuscript pages of the memoir. It's not usually the way sci-fi stories are told (though the original Dracula was!). The memoir has the point of view of the titular alien, but the interleaving pages concern how two human friends deal with the memoir and the uncomfortable memories it stirs up. Originally written as a standalone novel, The Problem with Uncle Teddy's Memoir became the first volume of The Aleronde Trilogy, simply because the characters wouldn't leave me alone.

Sci-Fi with a Slant - The Parallels by Keyla Damaer @KeylaDamaer #SciFi #Speculative #BookFair

A grim-dark sci-fi thriller with three women main characters. Think Star Trek meets Game of Thrones.

Sci-Fi with a Slant – The Anchor of Time by Tina Capricorn @tinasammich #SciFi #Speculative #BookFair

Kayelle Allen

The Anchor of Time

The Anchor of Time definitely has some fresh takes on old tropes. For one, the 'chosen one' main heroine is a hair stylist, and I for one have not read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi with a time traveling hair stylist. There is a psychic Tardigrade that changes appearances depending on who it has a psychic link with (their appearance is just a projection of what you want to see), and there is also a sentient quantum computer. Combined with dimensional shift in every chapter, as well the end is also the beginning because the story is told in a time loop.

Read Renegade a new #SciFi short story by Celine Glaude @CelineGlaude #SpaceOpera

 

Renegade.

New planets...new problems.

The start of an epic adventure across the galaxy.

All Captain Xiang wants to do is get back to her starship, but she's been ordered to transport supplies to a possible new ally.

When she meets a beautiful stranger, she finds herself on the run and reevaluating everything she has ever known.

Renegade is a prequel to the New Evolutions series. The series is an action-packed sci-fi, full of adventure with a light romance subplot.

Renegade is available on Amazon

About Celine Glaude

Céline Glaude withdraws from reality as often as possible. She believes in magic, dragons, alternate dimensions, and aliens, and she is patiently waiting for the Doctor to take her on adventures in space and time.

She was raised on crawfish, Disney movies, musicals, epic fantasy, Star Trek, and Westerns, so creating stories seems logical to her. As a new author, she specializes in genre-hopping. Be prepared for anything from vampires to dark heroines or even elves and escapades in space.

She is from the deep South and enjoys spending as much time as possible with her family. She loves to read and is usually in the midst of three or more books at any given time. When she is not immersed in all things book-related, Céline dabbles in makeup, gardening and makes one hell of a gumbo.

Tracking Trouble: An LGBT Dark Fantasy by Aldrea Alien @AldreaAlien #WriteLGBTQ #Fantasy

Kayelle Allen

Tracking Trouble: A New LGBT Dark Fantasy (out Jan 31) by Aldrea Alien @AldreaAlien #WriteLGBTQ #Fantasy

For years, Tracker's life has had two facets: Hunting spellsters and entertaining strangers in his bed. Few doubt he's good at both, although only one is considered acceptable amongst the King's Hounds. His trip to Toptower should be just another task in an endless string of routine. Take down any dangerous spellster he finds and send the timid ones to Demarn's tower prison.

It is a role he was born to play. One he has grown weary of.

But there's something off about the spellsters he's encountering. The people he typically finds aren't usually this powerful or anywhere near as lethal to a man immune to magic. It's as if something, or someone, is releasing them with an eye to weaken an already harried kingdom.

To what end, he cannot be certain of. History is littered with the dangers of magic running unchecked.

He must uncover the truth, and quickly.

But with all leads pointing one way, will he be able to uphold the code of the King's Hounds once he finds it?

*This book contains violence, gore and explicit adult themes.*
