Nathan Bransford - The Forums

I am NOT a huge sports fan by any stretch of the imagination, but all this World Cup love going on here piqued my interest. I checked out a game over the weekend and it was pretty fun to watch! But what's with all the buzzing? I kept thinking bees were swarming the house.

I entered, and I only have a few other comments posted. Sorry if this bothers anyone - I am pretty new to this site, and am so swamped with other items of life (kids, work), that by the time I get to read Nathan's blog post there are already so many comments posted that I can't imagine anyone would...

Title: ELEMENTAL Genre: YA Science Fiction I never should have listened to the voice in my head. No halfway intelligent person would have gotten themselves lost in the middle of a pitch black prison ship for, oh, a few hours. I had creeped and crawled through at least a dozen different levels and co...

I think the book should start where the story starts. There's usually something significant that happens to put your MC on the journey he/she will live through during the book, so start there. Someone used Twilight's slow start as an example, but the book started there because Bella's story started ...

Lol, I don't think the guy needed any help. The rich getting richer... Though I guess it's pretty unlikely that such an event would select an obscure or up-and-coming writer. That would be nice, though. Could you imagine waking up one day and finding out that everyone on twitter was going to read y...

If you've read it, please share your thoughts. If you haven't read it, be warned--this is not a review, so there are lots of spoilers.

Stargate SG-1, followed closely by Stargate Atlantis.

For comedy: America's Next Top Model. I just love watching a bunch of petty girls fighting with each other all the time.

I have one kind of interesting story. A few years ago, I was volunteering as a role player during Robin Sage (Special Forces guerrilla warfare training) and our camp in North Carolina was right next to the race track. So, Michael Andretti and two other racers came by to hang out with us for an hour ...

I was not a fan of the Ender Series, by Orson Scott Card. Granted, I read all the books, but that had more to do with my obsessive need to know the ending to something, rather than a real desire to read more.

How cool! Hope you love it as much as I do. I just got my copy yesterday! I am so excited! Anyone who wants to join in the discussion, there's still plenty of time. I've got a link to amazon.com for your purchasing convenience in the blog post. There is NO way you need two weeks to finish this. I'm...

I've never read The Hobbit. I started right with LOTR and didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. However, I will recommend that you also read The Silmarillion when you are finished with the trilogy. It is so good. Edit: Hmmm...this is what happens when I don't read all the comments first. I...

I've decided that I need something new to read and, as I love to discuss what I'm reading with others, I thought I would form a temporary book club on my blog. The book is The Secret Year, by Jennifer R. Hubbard. If you would like to partake in the discussion, visit http://steppingintofantasy.blogsp...

Now that's a snuggle puppy! I love the top picture with him all curled up! Too cute!

How about the best one sentence pitch? Your recent blog post has gotten me interested in seeing what everyone has.

Your book looks really interesting and I love your site! I might just have to buy a copy when it comes out. :)
