Interested in the comment about the dangers of writing 'literary SF'. I actually write fantasy, but the same principle applies. I like to think of my new book, Randolph's Challenge Book One-The Pendulum Swings as 'literary fantasy'. I don't subscribe to the idea that SF and fantasy readers are not keen 'literary' enthusiasts. I know all the old arguments that are rolled out about the second rate nature of SF and fantasy in the world of literature (many of which are justified by some of the low grade stuff that is published in these genres). But when you get a quality offering of SF or fantasy I don't thnk you will find a better read in any genre. If you can get quality writing plus adventure, romance, humour, crime, ..... and you can finish the list, all in one book, why go anywhere else? If you don't believe me, read my book!!
