Interview with John E. Stith
After reading Redshift Rendezvous, which I reviewed a few days ago, I got got the chance to ask the author a few questions. John E. Stith has been writing since the late 70s and had his first novel published in 1984. He has a large body of work, which includes short stories, and has many years of experience navigating the waters of the publishing world. What made you decide to start writing science fiction? Love of reading. The urge didn't hit strongly until I was partway through college, but the desire became stronger every time I finished reading a great book.

Book Review – Redshift Rendezvous by John E. Stith

You got lots of detail without it taking up entire chapters. There were a few spots in the plot that were a bit predictable, but there were more than enough twists to keep it interesting. The twist ...
Quick Update
Things have been very sporadic around here for a while. My life has been in a major upheaval for the past 6 months and I've had to take it day by day trying to regain some normalcy for both my daughter and I. I recently started working a full time job, making regular updates nearly impossible for the time being. I have a huge backlog of emails for an assortment of blog related things, and I ask for everyone's patience while I attempt to slowly catch up. I will be cutting back on the number of product reviews I take on each month until I am able to work out a better way to manage them. ...
