  My Alien Penfriend (Faiz Kermani): Brief Review and Author Interview
posted by Markus on Monday January 08, @10:33AM ( Printer Friendly Version. | Email this article )
Childrens Faiz Kermani sends us a brief review of his book 'My Alien Penfriend' by Midwest Book Review, and points us to an interview with the author (see full article):
Written by London resident Faiz Kermani, My Alien Penfriend is a novel for young adult readers about two children living on opposite sides of the galaxy - one earthling, one extraterrestrial - who communicate and forge a strong friendship. Their interest in one another's planets becomes shadowed by a terrible force that puts them in danger, yet together they discover the true meaning of friendship. My Alien Penfriend is written in the unusual format of letters between the two, with the occasional newspaper article from both worlds thrown in. A handful of black-and-white illustrations add their own touch of whimsy and wonder to this delightful story.

Interview with Wil McCarthy

News Rocky Rawstern writes "Interview with Author Wil McCarthy - June 2003
By Rocky Rawstern, Editor Nanotechnology Now

I recently had the distinct pleasure to interview one of my favorite authors, Wil McCarthy. Upon completing three of his latest books - two sci-fi and one work of non-fiction - I realized that many readers would probably enjoy his ponderings as much as I.

The questions for this interview stem from my own interest in programmable matter, and the awe-inspiring possibilities raised by Wil in his book HACKING MATTER.
