I'd like to thank Ed, my publisher for taking on a publicist to help sell Shadowpaw's fall line of books, including The Sun Runners and Tales from the Silence. This time around, I've had the privilege to be on a number of podcasts to talk about these books, and hopefully bring them to the attention of more readers.
Earlier, I did a session with Southside Broadcasting, talking to Alex Lewczuk and Jessica Burtis. You can hear that podcast here. They were a pleasure to talk to, and they were very up on the details of the book. We talked about all manner of things, including our mutual love of Doctor Who. Be sure to check them out.
I was also pleased to take part in the Find the Magic Book Podcast with Tricia Copeland, who was a warm and engaging interviewer, happy to talk about my writing process and more. Finally, there is Edward Willett's own Aurora award-winning Worldshapers podcast, who has interviewed some of the biggest names in science fiction. It was an honour to join the lineup with this episode, and it was again a pleasure to share time with Edward and his questions.
I've also been the subject of a very detailed written interview with Paul Semel. Be sure to check out our conversation here, and I'm pleased by the first reviews these books have received.
Whether it's because my publisher has been very focused on publicizing his books to the best of his ability, or whether podcasting has become more prevalent, I feel that there is a decent push for these books and I'm grateful. I have a few other interviews and podcasts to do, so stay tuned. I'll post links as soon as they are available.
Sun Runners and Tales from the Silence Reviews
- Anthony Avina: "Harrowing, insightful, and entertaining author James Bow's Tales from the Silence is a must-read sci-fi and dystopian short story collection. ."
- M.H. Questus: "I'm happy to recommend The Sun Runners to anyone who enjoys solid science fiction. I hesitate to use the term "YA," but only because I don't think you specifically have to be a fan of YA to enjoy the book. It's got enough depth and crunch to satisfy most sci-fi readers, but is light and pacey enough for younger audiences. Two thumbs up, 9 out of 10 stars, can't wait to read the sequel if/when Bow writes one!.
