Hey all,
Nebula, Locust, Hugo and Alex Award winning author Martha Wells Skyped with our
kids during our summer reading discussion event last week. We'd read the first
in her Murderbot series, All Systems Red. It was wonderful! She'd mentioned
afterward, that she'd never Skyped with readers before and that she'd love to
do it again sometime. I asked, and she said it was ok to pass her contact
information here. You can reach Ms. Wells via email at
marthawells@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:marthawells@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
She was wonderfully patient and provided fabulous answers to many excellent
questions.
Did I mention that she did this for free?!
All Systems Red is a novella that you can finish in about 3.5 hours. It is an
adult novella appropriate for older teens. I dare you to read this book and not
immediately diving into the rest of the series, 3 additional novellas. If you
already know and love Murderbot, good news: A full length novel, Network ;
Effect, is due out March 2019!
Enjoy!
Read on!
