News
- Sci-Fi & Scary now has a TeeSpring store. Support the site by checking it out, please.
- We have open call-outs for science-fiction minded writers (interested in doing reviews or articles) to join us.
- We are working on getting the podcast up and running. As of right now, they will be short (30-45) minute monthly ‘casts. However, there will be a separate ‘cast for story-telling bringing back old science fiction works (primarily by women) that have fallen into the public domain as Lily works up the guts to volunteer for Librivox.
Lilyn G is the founder of Sci-Fi & Scary, and leader of the Coolthulhu Crew. She does book and film reviews for both genres the site focuses on. Her tastes run towards creature features, hard science fiction, and lots and lots of action. She also has a soft spot for middle-grade fiction that rears its head frequently.
Though no longer involved with Ladies of Horror Fiction due to other responsibilities and a too-full plate, she was one of the original 4 co-founders.
Feel free to chat her up on Twitter as long as you aren’t hitting her up to review your book.
I’ve missed so many great posts! Sorry about that. Working two jobs and I”m struggling to find time to visit as much as I used to. I’ll find a rhythm!
I can’t imagine doing two jobs. Just doing one and dealing with kid and animals can be exhausting!
