It is sad to hear that one of the greatest science fiction writers has passed away. Ray Bradbury was a great influence on me and my early writings. I read The Martian Chronicles when I was a teenager and immediately knew that I wanted to create worlds and stories of my own. I have, but with a much different flavor than he so secretly mixed.
Bradbury had a wonderfully unique way of phrasing his sentences with depth and wonder. The stories he told were visual as you read. That's how he became a stellar author.
RIP, Ray Bradbury. We lost a great man today, but your work lives on.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteApologies for the off-topic comment, but I couldn't find a contact email for you.
A while ago I put out an ebook of my writing, called The New Death and others. It's a collection of short pieces, mostly dark fantasy.
I was wondering if you'd be interested in doing a review on your blog.
If so, please email me: news@apolitical.info. Let me know what file format is easiest for you, and I'll send you a free copy.
You can download a sample from the ebook's page on Smashwords:

I'm also happy to do interviews, guest posts, or giveaways. Just let me know what you'd prefer.
Yours,
James.
