SF part II : when dreams come true
Got back home and found an Amazon box containing among other interesting reading and music : Shadows of the Past by Melanie Franciere . Now you may say, well so what’s the amazing story ? Well let me say that things are different when you know the author of something and when you know the not so easy path that sometimes it takes to get your art known to an audience. We met in a newsgroup long time ago, in 1996 and kept in touch since then, we met also in real life in 1999 when i went visiting her in the USA. During all the time she told how difficult is to publish a book and how she wished it, and i can imagine it’s frustrating when you just enjoy writing (and my opinion she’s really good at) and can’t get people to share with you your passion.

She writes science fiction stories, and even if as i was writing, i’m not at all an expert in that genre, (SF is not so popular in Europe and especially in Italy) i found that story intriguing and well written, that was my impression when i first got the chance to read the draft back in 1997 and now that i’m holding the book in my hands i’m just happy for her, so if you’re into SF and want to check it out, just follow the links above.
