CSFF Day 3 – “We Want the Best”

by Marcus on January 24, 2007

The blog tour is over. I know some of you readers tolerate these times when I indulge here. I just love fantasy and science fiction. In fact, to celebrate, I’m starting to read my new issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction tonight. (You can read six AWESOME stories for free online, right now.) One thing I think every aspiring CSFF writer should do is read good fantasy and science fiction. That magazine is a good place to start.

Tina Kulesa summed it up best. She wrote, “As a whole we don’t want to be preached at and we don’t want lip service paid to our favorite genre. We want the best. And Wayne Thomas Batson shows us that it’s all possible.”

I was also encouraged by Wayne’s admission that this first set of books was a thirteen year project. Whew! I thought I was slow here in year six or seven, but I’m not slow. I’m just impatient.

Thanks, Wayne for being the kind of person you are. And thanks to everyone on the tour:

I must admit I’m kind of a non-fiction person. (Well, some might wonder if my life is fiction!)

Anyway, I’m happy to see you posting on what is dear to your heart, even if I have nothing to contribute. (Except maybe snacks… don’t worry, this will make sense once you hop over to Seedlings, which I know you always will at some point.)

Wayne, it was our pleasure. Really!

L.L., that’s a sweet thing to say. I appreciate it.
