My Secrets out! … Blasted across the cosmos! I’m revealing all. WHY I create Kids Sci-fi and HOW I started writing JOSH AND THE IT!
Amanda Greenslade, webmaster of Specusphere Sci-fi webzine requested I Guest Blog a punchy article that connects with the Australian fantasy, sci-fi and horror industries. Specusphere publish feature articles, interviews, reviews, and fiction pieces.
I decided to write WHY I Write Kids Sci-fi and explain HOW sci-fi became firmly entrenched in my psyche. Here’s a snippet …
“When I write kids sci-fi, I escape into a fantastical world of adventure where I can break the laws of the universe and beyond, where anything is possible. Where SUPER SPACE KIDS defeat the most evil of aliens using invented technology, saving the galaxy from destruction. I’m only restricted by my imagination.”
Find out what SCI-FI books, movies and TV shows influenced my writing …
And my latest review of the SUPER SPACE KIDS series is now plastered across the Specusphere and blogosphere.
Fast-moving and entertaining. Original. The aliens are suitably gruesome and the comic-book fight works nicely. I keep seeing this as a graphic novel or animated series! … Sally Odgers (Editor) 2011

Then settle back here … What you do think?
Congrats Karen, in getting your sci-fi article published so quickly.
Like the sound of your super space kids series. Fabulous review.
Thanks Pete. I was pretty chuffed with the request to Guest Blog for Specusphere.
I had almost forgot about Sally’s review … discovered it again and made me smile :))
Nice plug for your writing. I loved Lost in Space too.
Thank Graham, I put a few ideas up to Specusphere and they were very interested in the personal angle with Kids Sci-fi.
I LOVED Lost in Space so much when I was a kid … I gulped my dinner down so I could watch it. LOL
KT – eats sci fi (and space aliens) for breakfast! 🙂
Hi Steph, Love your quirky humour and your fabulous support too. Your girls will LOVE the Super Space Kids.
Great stuff Karen. I loved all those shows too. And movies.
And I still watch Lost in Space.

Thanks Anthony for coming back, I’m so glad you can “see” my Blog now. Lost in Space had so many imaginative plot lines. Now wonder I was hooked:))
Cant wait to see it in print 🙂
Thanks Linda, I have an exciting update on JOSH AND THE IT. I’ll be blogging about it in six hours time. Please stay tuned 🙂
