- This is a big one. This site has the only worthwhile use of
"cookies" I've seen yet - they give your browser a magic cookie to use to
keep track of your "shopping basket" of purchases. They've recently
started a "Build Your Own Bookstore - Amazon.com Associates Program" where
you can put together a web page that recommends books for sale, and take a
commission. Instant bookstore kit, just add web pages. Your SFRG
maintainer has already seen two such instant bookstores show up wanting
to be added to the SFRG. I'll go out on a limb here and predict that more
will turn up, and that other virtual megastores will set up similar
partnership programs...
Gosh, I wrote that first paragraph years ago, about 1996? 1997?
And now everybody knows about
Amazon, they've added to their product lines,
other online-only bookstores have sprung up. Amazon.com quietly discontinued
their deep-discount policy, so you should (as always) shop around before you

Pratchett's] books are, or, how in a few sentences he can create a

twists it and curls it up a bit and in doing so, creates images which
delight, amuse and remain in your mind. Trying to re-create that magic in
bits of sculpture is, let me tell you, not easy. Everything we do is
examined and approved by Terry (and everything is you know, right down to
the last ruddy button). When he laughs and wants to take a piece home,
then we know we've got it right and all those days we spent at Colchester
Zoo observing their Orangoutan were worth it because it means that our
skills as sculptors come close to his skill as a story teller."

Shakespeare discussion area, search engine, other Shakespeare resources on
the Internet, chronological and alphabetical listings of plays, Frequently
asked questions, Bartlett's familiar Shakespearean quotations, and more.
"Shakespeare's plays are often arranged in three categories: tragedy,
comedy, or history. I've included that arrangement here (along with a
fourth column for poetry), based on the arrangement of the electronic Moby
edition, but it is important to realize that the categories are not
Shakespeare's... The arrangement of the plays into the three categories is
a practice begun with the First Folio, which was printed in 1623, seven
years after Shakespeare's death."

- Bradbury, Ray:
Americans in Europe - an Interview with Ray Bradbury (tripod.com)
- "A frequent visitor to Paris, especially to the restaurants and
bookshops in the Latin Quarter, Bradbury claims to have fallen in love
with it all 37 years ago when he first arrived here to work with John
Huston on the screenplay of Moby Dick. Seated sipping coffee in the lobby
of the Hotel Normandy, near the Palais-Royal, Bradbury spoke of hls
fascination with the city, along with other passions such as city
planning, his method of writing, and the future of science fiction."

- Howard, Robert E.
Archive (bigbadbarbarian.com)
- "Robert E. Howard is the grandfather of sword and sorcery fiction.
During the 1930's, Howard almost singlehandedly redefined the genre. His
characters--Conan, Solomon Kane, King Kull, Black Turlough and
others--lived and fought in colorful worlds where all men were mighty, all
women beautiful, and all problems simple. Yet these characters had a
realism to their motivations. Howard's writing style had about it a
relentless grimness. It set sword and sorcery on a path away from the
happily-ever-after, and toward the more dramatic, emotionally charged
stories that are written even to this day. Lovers of fantasy have much to
owe Robert E. Howard."

grow up in a small town in Minnesota. When would they notice she was
missing and come back for her, she wanted to know. After graduating from
Concordia College, only 20 miles away, she decided drastic action was
called for and she joined the Navy to look for them. The Navy, in their
infinite wisdom, sent her to Iceland, one of the few places in this world
with more Lutherans per square foot than Minnesota. After serving in

and television and mesmerized by the U.S. Space Program, immersed in the
imaginative musings of the great SF writers of the Golden Age, I have
taken to spinning off images that share a central, unifying theme: that in
infinite time, in infinite space, anything is possible. That these images
should find their way to the Internet is the culmination of a lifelong
dream...that of giving back to culture something of the sense of awe and
mystery that beguiled this child of the 1950's and continues to do so
today."

Some people will wonder why I haven't included H.G. Wells' War of the

Martians, and I have stuck to works set on or dealing with the planet. I
have tried to include as broad as possible range of books on this theme,
from planetary romances by Edgar Rice Burroughs, to hard science fiction
by Kim Stanley Robinson. With one special exception, I have not included
any juvenile fiction about Mars, nor have I included any media tie-ins or

theoretically possible according to the latest scientific knowledge of
which I am aware. I completed the first draft of the Signposts in
1991-1992, and have subsequently updated and expanded it as appropriate,
up through 1997. These revisions and expansions are ongoing... I'm

much greenery). However, I'm delighted that the Seattle in 2002 bid
committee have seen fit to advertise my fanzine on their t-shirts. Thanks
guys :-)... I should point out, however, that the text that appears here
is pretty much identical to that in the email and paper versions of the
'zine. I do not have much patience with the view, held by many US fanzine
fans, that electronic 'zines are somehow not the real thing, and are in
some way intrinsically different from paper 'zines. As far as I am
concerned, it is the writing that is important, not the method of
delivery."

Homepage (sff.net)
- "I've been a fan of Science Fiction ever since I can remember, and
wanted to be a published writer since I was 8. It took a little while, but
I got there!
...By profession, I'm a teacher so I'm interested in everything. Learning
is an on-going experience for me. My writing has taken me down many an
interesting thoroughfare and alley of research. My main interests are in
paleontology, ancient civilizations, particularly the Minoans and Ancient
Egyptians, and the history of the Old testament times, which I studied at
college. I also play Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, and Quake!
...My three books form part of The Sholan Alliance Series and are
published by DAW Books Inc. The Sholan Alliance is formed of three
races..."

- Jerry Pournelle:
Chronology
of Jerry Pournelle's Future History (chronology.org)
- "Jerry
Pournelle is perhaps the science fiction author most devoted
to history and politics. His Future History began, not as a series of
stories which he later linked together, but as his projections of a
possible future consistent with "valid principles" of sociology and
politics. This led to a "future" which is perhaps more pessimistic than
the classic SF futures of Heinlein, Asimov, and Niven. Yet within this
context he writes of those who triumph past intimidating odds, struggling
for the survival of the human race... My timeline of Pournelle's future
history is both a chronicle of events and a chronicle of sociology. In
particular, Jerry Pournelle's twenty-first century is full of political
twists that no one could believe (unless he or she knew what the twentieth
century had seen, of course)."

Russell - The Forgotten Master (stageleft.com.au)

good friend of mine, Moira Dahlberg, suggested that I might like his work.
I'd never heard of him, unlike Asimov or Clarke, and I'd sometimes found
their work a bit stodgy and dated. Lord knew what this obscure author from
the 1940s would be like, but Moira liked him so I thought I'd give him a
go... I was instantly hooked."

"As one correspondent so aptly stated, this is an ongoing
multi-user dialogue which is creating a fantasy story on the fly.
As a story, 'stats' are inappropriate; rather, the actions, thoughts,
plots and plans of your character(s) are what's needed...
The adventures take place on the world Ifreann, a place not so
different from Earth but with far more magical energy."
