Today I’m going to be talking about “Storm Front,” the first book in the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. Butcher wrote “Storm Front” in 1996 as an exercise for a creative writing course when he was only 25. It was published by Roc/Penguin Books in 2000. Since then Butcher has written a total of 17 Dresden Files novels, including the latest, “Battle Ground,” scheduled to be released in September of this year. He has also written a number of short stories in the Dresden Files universe, published in two collections: “Side Jobs” and “Brief Cases.”
Hey everyone! I’m back with another science fiction review. Today I’m talking about “The Three Body Problem” by Liu Cixin. It was first published in 2008 in China, and was translated into English by Ken Liu in 2014. “The Three Body Problem” is the first in the trilogy “Remembrance of Earth’s Past.” It is followed by “The Dark Forest” and “Death’s End,” both of which have been translated into English.

Last Thursday, local author and writing instructor Barbara Josselsohn spoke to us about her latest book, The Lilac House. For a quick summary of her book click here. Twenty community members, including other local authors, joined us from the comfort of their offices, couches, and writing nooks to discuss the book and her process. She also shared her thoughts on publishing on the day that many of us found ourselves asked to stay home due to Covid-19.
