If you want to come along to watch Dr. Amy H. Sturgis talk live to SF writer David Brin – drop me an email starshipsofa@gmail.com or let me know in the comments below.

Dr. Harry Turtledove, master of alternate history fiction, gave a rare public lecture January 16 at McPherson College in McPherson, Kansas, on the topic of “What If? What Alternate History Fiction Tells Us About Our Past, Present and Future.”

StarShipSofa’s own assistant editor, Adam Pracht, secured Harry’s lecture for the college, where he works in his full-time job, and he is providing the full audio of the lecture here as special bonus content for Sofanauts. You can learn more about McPherson College at www.mcpherson.edu.

This week content comes in the form of a video interview with Ack-Ack Macaque and Hive Monkey writer Gareth L. Powell. The interview comes in a choice of video or audio only. Look out in the coming weeks for a short story by Gareth – only available in Sofanuts!

One of the benefits of being a Sofanauts member is access to exclusive events. The first such event will be taking place on February 9, 2014 at 6:00 pm GMT, a live interview with David Brin, hosted by Amy H. Sturgis.

If you want to come along or would like your questions answered… then leave your questions/comments below. You must let me know below in the comments if you intend to come along on the day so I can book you into the webinar.

Greetings from the Captain!

Can I just say a massive thank you for joining the Sofanauts Premium Members club. It means a lot – it truly does. We are in for some grand times ahead and I have lots planned: video and audio interviews, panel discussions, stories, eStories, great cover art, freebies and so much more. This will be your first port of call once you board the ship.

This is the club house where we’ll chat and mingle, share stories and jokes. It will also be the place where you’ll hear first about all the ‘news’ and ‘content’ I’ll be making available. Just use the comments box below and join in… the water’s fine. I recommend joining the Sofanaut newsletter as well, just in case you miss something important. Josh has put that on the site… so nip on over there and sign up.

It’s my intention to always keep popping content in here and arranging ‘one off’ specials. Don’t worry if you can not make any of the live events… they will always be available after the event in the Members-Only Download Area. This will be the place to go to grab all that fantastic extra content. Get your Kindles and eReaders powered up – we’ve got some great stories coming your way. Speaking of which… why not pop over there after you have read this and grab all of StarShipSofa books and goodies or try one of our very own Dr. Amy H. Sturgis lectures!

I’ve also got lots of little freebies to give away over the coming months so look out for any news relating to freebies.

So… that’s it for introductions. You’ll find we are very formal around here. That is all…

Just a reminder… look out for our first live video interview with SF author David Brin – coming soon.
