Coming on Monday

Our SF anthology, “The Dodo Dragon and other stories” will be on sale as an eBook from Monday 23rd April – Shakespeare’s birthday.

Nine quirky stories to entertain you from an off-beat imagination of Sheila Crosby.

“If you like tongue in cheek retro sci-fi, often filled with bad puns, much in the vein of those 50s & 60s anthologies, with a twist of Ellison, Sheckley or Silverberg, then you’ll find stuff in here you’ll like…had me laughing out loud on several occasions.” Matt Kelland


“Almost all the stories are witty and amusing. Many of them with surprise endings, a talent that Sheila often uses in her stories. Some of the stories are set in the Canary Islands where Sheila lives and provides with a setting that isn’t seen in too many stories. 

Scream Quietly was my favorite story in the book. That story is told in letters from an anguished mother who faces an unusual predicament, one of the stories with a surprise twist at the end.”  Hank Quense

A breathtaking Window on the Universe

Cover for A Breathtaking Window on the Universe

The cover for A Breathtaking Window on the Universe

Here’s the cover design for “A breathtaking Window on the Universe: A guide to the Roque de Los Muchachos observatory”. I think it’s well up to Eco-geek‘s usual high standards.

The book should be on sale in the late summer or autumn of 2012.  It explains why the observatory is on La Palma and how a telescope and its instruments work, and gives details of each telescope, plus many anecdotes and over 60 photos.

 

You can read more about the island of La Palma and its remarkable skies at Star Island.
