There’s a wealth of talent out there – so who will be the SF and fantasy authors of tomorrow?
The Guardian’s recent quest to catalogue the 1000 Novels Everyone Must Read scoured the vast galaxy of tales told under the banner of “science fiction and fantasy”, and boiled them down to a few dozen of the many invented worlds the genre has to offer. From the fey fantasy of Susanna Clarke to the hard-boiled cyberpunk of William Gibson, from pulp adventure to high literature, the list provides enough great reading to keep most of us happy for half a lifetime at least.

One of my favourite stories of last years was Summer in Paris, Light from the Sky by Ken Scholes in Clarkesworld magazine. I loved the stopry so much that I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of Schole’s first novel, which has recently been released in hardback in the States. We may have to wait sometime for a British edition so I don’t know when I will get to review the full thing (hint hint any editors from Tor who might read this…send me an ARC!!) but there is a tasty extract over on Bookspotcentral. Go have a read. I have a feeling Scholes will be someone to watch for anyone who likes great storytelling.

Read this.
If that opening paragraph doesn’t grab you then nothing will.
Summer In Paris, Light From the Sky is a beutiful short story from Ken Scholes. I’d never heard of Ken before, but I’ll certainly loo out for more of his writing now.
I’ve been reading a lot of short fiction online recently. The standard of writing appearing in webzines is getting better everyday. The times they are a changin’ in publishing land, thats for sure.
