The Starter List of Science Fantasy
Over at the Mad Genius Club I talk about what Science Fantasy is, as a subgenre of science fiction. Where science and magic exist on the same plane, stories that stretch the imagination are born. If you haven't read any, this is a good place to start. If you love the genre already, then perhaps you will find fresh adventures before you.
Enjoy, and happy reading!

Not really on the list, but the reason that this list, and the post at Mad Genius happened, was a question about my book, Vulcan's Kittens. While I'd started writing it as fantasy, it morphed into science fiction, something that is even more obvious in the second book, God's Wolfling. Not fantasy, but not science fiction either. Crossover, and hard to quantify.
