Congratulations on the first anniversary of the site! How did a year pass so quickly? The site has become my go-to place for my daily fix of sf/fantasy reviews, op ed, and free (thanks!) fiction. Keep up the terrific work, and best wishes for a second, even-more-successful year to come.

I love JJP's work, and I have to say that the cover picture is one of my absolute favourites.

Happy Moon Landing Day!

What a wonderful book! I definitely choose new authors based on the cover so artists are really important to getting books off shelves.
