Michèle Laframboise makes a double splash in top SF magazines!

  By , , , , ,

SF Canada member Michèle Laframboise achieved a rare feat this month with simultaneous publications in both Asimov’s and Analog science fiction magazines.

Born in July, Michèle considers the double publication as a fine birthday gift, especially since her name is featured on Asimov’s cover.

Michèle’s two stories are :

Currently on sale in kiosks and specialized bookshops.

Michèle also currently has stories out in OnSpec 119 (Alberta-based) and NeoOpsis 33 (BC-based). She is also regularly featured in the French SF magazines Solaris in Québec and Galaxies in France.

Michèle Laframboise is a long distance runner (she ran the virtual Chilly Half in February) with more than 60 published works.

She enjoys working full time on her passions, writing and drawing comics. She just indie-published Maîtresse des vents, the first YA graphic novel to be published at her own imprint Échofictions.

Her SF is like chocolate… hard and crunchy. Echofictions also offers already-published stories that are no longer available, in both French and English.

Recently, Michèle has put out a collection « 5 Hard and Crunchy SF tales », a collection of cacao-rich science fiction stories.

  By , , , ,

SF Canada member Jane Glatt’s most recent novel, Captains & Conspiracies, is now available!

Published by Tyche Books (ed. Margaret Curelas, SF Canada member),  with a cover by SF Canada member Skyla Dawn Cameron, Captains & Conspiracies is the thrilling conclusion to the Intelligencers Series.

Dagrun Lund and her Intelligencer friends have survived the winter, but spring does not bring safety. Dag must navigate the frozen Pale Sea and the treacherous stone spires of the Teeth to deliver food to Tarklee. Rations are tight in the capital of the Fair Seas Treaty Alliance, a dire situation made worse when food is stolen from the warehouses. The citizens are growing uneasy, and the leaders of Tarklee fear rioting.

In the Sapphire Sea, Calder Rahmson must stop Pinho, the mastermind behind the plot against the Fair Seas Alliance, from taking control of Arressa. With Pinho on the run and the Arressan council once more in charge, peace between the Sapphire Sea and the Fairs Seas Treaty Alliance can be restored.

But Rahm, Calder’s father and a deadly assassin, is pursuing his own agenda that could have far-reaching consequences for the Alliance. Can Pia stop him? Does she even want to?

Jane Glatt is a fantasy novelist who loves creating worlds and causing trouble for the characters who inhabit them. She writes from her home on the shore of Lake Ontario.

Two new collections by Bernadette Gabay Dyer!

  By , , , ,

SF Canada member Bernadette Gabay Dyer has two new collections of short stories and new poems!

Born in Kingston Jamaica, she has lived in Toronto, Canada for many years. She is a poet, a storyteller, an artist, a playwright, and the author of four novels, and, now, two short story collections. Her work has been widely anthologized, and her poetry and short stories have appeared in the University of Miami Journal, as well as in Wasafiri from St Mary’s University in London England.

Elementary in style, but philosophical in subject, she be Miss Lou at song and Aesop at the story telling. To open her books is to be enlightened, and one closes them knowing one has been refreshed and improved.”
