Addicted to SF and Fantasy

Nancy Fulda · 07-02-2011, 06:09 AM

Hi all,

Maria Schneider pointed me towards this place. I'm a science fiction and fantasy author -- grew up reading the stuff and couldn't break the habit as an adult, so I turned it into a job to make it 'respectable'

I've published in magazine's like Asimov's Science Fiction and won a couple of awards. Working on a novel now. I'm hoping these forums will help me connect with more SF and Fantasy readers and give me a better feel for what kinds of books people want.

Good to have your company, Nancy. No shortage of SF pals here at MR. Luck with the books and happy Kindling. Best wishes. Neil

Hi Nancy and welcome to MobileRead

Welcome to Mobileread.

"what kinds of books people want."

Well, books we enjoy reading, of course!

Lizzie in Ma · 07-02-2011, 08:33 AM

Welcome! This place has become one of my "every morning" hang outs, though I don't post much. SF and Fantasy are my favorite genres!

Nancy Fulda · 07-02-2011, 11:41 AM

Thanks for the warm welcome, everybody! I already feel right at home

>>Well, books we enjoy reading, of course!

Ah, if only it were so easy.... I've noticed there's a bit of a disconnect between writers and readers. I was astonished by reader responses to my SF collection, for example. "Blue Ink" was far and away the readers' favorite... and for years I've been thinking it was rather weak. In fact, I almost didn't put it in the anthology at all. Strange world we live in.

By the way... silly question, but how do I set notifications so that I get an email whenever someone new posts in a particular thread?

There's a check box in the Additional Options section in the Advanced Reply option .... Also you can subscribe through Thread Tools, see top blue bar in forum ....

Nancy Fulda · 07-02-2011, 12:12 PM

Ah, I found it. Many thanks!

I never said it was easy.

I did like your "Pastry Run" and "In the Halls of the Sky-Palace" in Jim Baen's Universe

I thought your name sounded familiar!

Don't forget to post in the shameless self-promotions thread, although I'm afraid I won't be buying any ebooks for at least the next two weeks.

But I'm allowed freebies, so thanks very much for The Man Who Murdered Himself

Nancy Fulda · 07-02-2011, 12:47 PM

You're very welcome.

Oh! If you like freebies, you should also check out That Undiscovered Country at Baen.com.

(They've only got it available in html, but imo that's okay for a short story. Anything longer and I start itching for my kindle...)

Hello and welcome to MR!

Late, but indeed Nancy, welcome to MR! I look forward to reading some of your work.

Her short stories (which are all I've read so far) are excellent. When I'm buying ebooks again, her stuff will be near the top of my list, although I do prefer collections to individual short stories for convenience in handling (it's easier to do things with one file than a dozen).
