Writing a Science Fiction Novel

Send us Fan Mail

What makes science fiction so powerful? And why do these stories stay with us long after we’ve finished them?

In Episode 103, we explore the minds that helped shape the genre. From early works like New Atlantis and Somnium to the groundbreaking stories of H. G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Philip K. Dick, this episode dives into the ideas, predictions, and strange realities that define science fiction.

Then, for the first time, I share my own journey into the genre—what inspired me, how the story developed, and what it took to bring my first novel to life.

Featuring a live reading from Drawn to the Stars: Book One — The Exchange.

Two planets. Two wars. One connection that could decide everything.
