I need a new book to read and I’m not sure what to get. I like historical romance novels that are set in Ireland or Scotland. I also like paranormal or sci fi type romance as well. What do you recommend?
I have already read the Twilight series
My favorite authors are Connie Mason and Bobbi Smith

I have found through careful research and discussion that science fiction isn’t appreciated enough anymore. It’s usually too weird, nerdy or uninteresting. But is there a way to bring it back to its glory days and make us proud of sci-fi…

What separates good science fiction from bad science fiction? What is bad science fiction?

Abhyudaya asked:


I recently read an article by Mr. Jayant Narlikar (famous Indian astrophysicist) where the author gave an overview of the writings of H G Wells, Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury and said that bad science fiction is the one which creates irrational fear of science among readers and takes irresponsibly big liberties.

While, good sci-fi paves the path for new scientific explorations.

I guess, you have to take certain liberties with science fiction and you have to write about fancy stuff like anti-gravity, faster-than-light spaceships etc.

My question is, how do you draw the line?
And what exactly should a good science fiction writer do?

Any suggested readings?
