For about two years, I put together the new and forthcoming books pages for the SF Site, a task I inherited when SF Site founder John O'Neill moved on to other projects (such as starting up Black Gate fantasy magazine). About three months ago I stopped doing those pages. Many of you have noticed. Several have written to voice concerns. Hey, it's good to know I've been missed. But I needed the break.
I found that although I enjoyed putting together the New and Forthcoming Books pages, it was taking far too much of my time to do something that I considered to be...well, fairly vacuous content. These lists were never meant to be comprehensive; they were only listings of books that had been sent to SF Site for review. As much as anything else, it was done as a courtesy to the authors and publishers who sent the books. We can't possibly review every book we receive, but I figured at least we'd mention the book on the Site.
And so it is, with reservations, and with apologies to the authors and publishers of books we received during my hiatus, that I now succumb to popular pressure and revive the practice of listing new arrivals at the SF Site -- although the lisit has been pared down to the bare minimum. You'll see it's an integrated list, with new & forthcoming books all jumbled in together. And a list is pretty much all it is. I hope you find something new and interesting to read here, but please don't ever stop looking for new works, old favourites and authors who are new to you -- whether they've been dead for centuries or only just now published for the first time. (Books are listed alphabetically by author. Only books received are noted.) | |
