You have created massively complicated and intricate societies. I was entranced by the characters and blown away by the action. What a delight your books were to read. Thank you for sharing your imagination with the rest of us!" - Barbara Coupe "Well-written, the story will appear to the reader of science fiction as well as students of history, colonialism, and race relations. A gripping tale of the shock and misunderstandings arising when two very different cultures clash." — Ronald Hore, CM Magazine (June 10, 2009) Many people spend their spare time reading books, so why should the Armed Forces be any different? Recently, EDGE received this picture of a Soldier in Iraq reading Forbidden Cargo while taking some much needed time to himself. (June 1, 2009) "I love Barbara Hambly's work as a writer, and this book was worth it just for her story. As a collection it gave me my Holmes fix, and I will definitely read it again. And probably several more times after that. I'd say it was a good, solid B+ or A- level Holmes read." — Winter, Calcutta (Kolkata) News "One of the things I really enjoyed about the book: the illustrations by Phil Cornell which accompany each story. For many of them, it's not obvious what the illustration means at the beginning of the story, but at the end, you go back and look and say, aha! If only I had interpreted this correctly, I would have seen it coming!" — R. Kelly Wagner, Calcutta (Kolkata) News "This group seems well mixed, with a variety of approaches and themes. I have mostly commented on those stories that appealed to me. There was, however, one perfectly marvelous tale by Kim Newman called "The Red Planet League" that deserves special attention. It is told by "...your humble narrator - Colonel Sebastian `Basher' Moran ..." and it is worth the reading if only for the delicious villainies of `Basher.' Of the eleven tales included, all are worth reading and several will stand up to re-reading." — Philip K. Jones, Calcutta (Kolkata) News (May 20, 2009) Author Lynda Williams recently visited Terrace BC to present her notions of creativity in Science Fiction at their Sci-fi Creatives Evening. Ev Bishop, an attendee, reported this about Lynda's presentation: Lynda is a hilarious, candid speaker, and I think any writer would benefit and be inspired by her enthusiasm for her own and other people’s creative works. Absolute XPress is currently publishing material outside of the main Saga written by both her and others who share the same enthusiasm as she does. Check out her Legacy Series here. This Spring, EDGE is currently releasing the fifth book in the main Saga entitled "Far Arena". Check it out here. (May 13, 2009) "Pretenders brings the level of secrecy inherent in the ORU to its peak, with characters new and familiar faced with some of the brightest and ugliest moments in the series. There's a careful balance of perspectives that offer new insight as well as give a global picture to the rich, wide span of influences in the Gelack Empire. The secrets tug and twist around and between characters, with climactic results. Bridging the gap beautifully and concisely to Throne Price, I'd recommend this book to any fan of the series. " — Hal J. Friesen , Amazon.com "Seriously, if anyone wants to read something fun, intruiging, and captivating, ANY of the books from this series would rock.This one has more politics than the first two, and is sadly given teh job of explaining everything from Throne Price too much for it to stand on it's own as well as the others. There is a quick fix for that though. Read them all. You won't regret it." — Amazon.com "In this well-written and detailed story, the author uses many original words and phrases to make the tale come alive. If readers enjoys fast-moving complicated plots, swordplay, relationships, and a setting involving different worlds and space opera, they should be well satisfied." — Ronald Hore, CM Magazine (April 22, 2009) "It begins as pure gonzo science fiction but quickly develops into a compelling hard-science-fiction suspense novel. In Spider Webb, Bedford creates a likable and interesting character, the kind of down-and-almost-out protagonist that cannot help but draw reader sympathy. Bedford also does a good job creating a believable near future where widely available time machines have created complex problems that are not quite kept in check by government agencies trying to avoid serious changes both intentional and inadvertent. An offhanded mention that time travel technology appears to have been invented in the future and sent back to this time explains the situation nicely, and also opens up numerous foreseeable sequels. The local Western Australia ambiance provides a unique perspective that is quite consistent with the gonzo aspects of the story. Bedford has created a science-fiction novel that is sure to please most SF fans. K.A. Bedford deserves to develop increased recognition among American science-fiction readers." — D. Douglas Fratz, SciFi.com (April 8, 2009) "Time Machines Repaires While-U-Wait reads like a good, old 1950s story by Fredric Brown or William Tenn story. I´m a huge fan of those master writers, so I enjoyed reading this homage to a long lost (but never forgotten) past." — Fabio Fernandes, Fantasy Book Critic (April 2, 2009) Fast Forward: Contemporary Science Fiction recently reviewed Gaslight Grimoire edited by J. R. Campbell & Charles Prepolec. They stated: "All the authors in Gaslight Grimoire have shown they are fans of Doyle's work, bringing careful details of Holmesian scholarship to their stories. They have also taken new paths, exploring some unusual and intriguing ideas, with the result being imaginative and entertaining. This is a good book for any Holmes fan, but it is also diverting work for those who enjoy the fantastic."

Sawyer, Canadian Science Ficion Author and more recently TV Personality. Take a listen today!
