Tales From the Long Night is the setting for my stories, which range from (relatively) near future exploration/colonization, to space opera, to Military Sci Fi, to Post-Apocalyptic.

Pierce has a heck of an imagination, and it shows in the characters and settings for his stories. You will be drawn into these stories. 👍

My personal Substack

My personal Substack

A Substack with my periodic musings on what I'm reading, fatherhood, and my quest to figure out how this writing thing works. I write science fiction and alternate history for the most part, with a little fantasy thrown in on occasion.

Zane is an awesome writer, but I'm biased—mind you—because he and I are in the same writing group, the Alpha Mercs.

Monalisa's Musings

By Monalisa Foster

Thoughts of an unhyphenated American turned scifi writer. Readers can find my works via my website, www.monalisafoster.com, online at all retailers, or in brick-and-mortar stores.

Ms. Monalisa is not only a talented writer, but a great writing teacher, IMHO. One of my first great leaps forward in the writing craft was due to her taking the time to explain "filter words." 🙇‍♂️

Wallbanger is a very creative writer. Seriously, go read his short in Raconteur Press's steampunk anthology "Full Steam Ahead." The method he used to develop buoyancy in an airship is by far the most creative method I've ever heard of. 👏🙂 I recommend subscribing to his Substack to learn what new surprises he has in store for us. 👍
