The Upper Valley Comic Expo is proud to present another episode of Sci-Fi Saturday Night. Talkcast 441 – Just Like Watching Greg Louganis on the High Board And, yes the podcast titles are becoming more obscure. In this case it is very appropriate. We get to talk with Kathrin Hutson about her new series of books set in a near dystopian future. The first book in her Blue Helix Series is called Sleepwater Beat. This book is killer in every sense of the word, from the characters to the plot and world building based on a perfectly plausible future Kathrin gives a solid performance at virtually every level. The “worst” part of the interview was her engaging nature and willingness to go anywhere the conversation took us. A fun Book. A fun guest. A guest we cannot wait to have back for book two in the series. Chaos? Hell yes! scifisaturdaynight.com/?p=9631

Good Thursday morning. Today we have another Sci-Fi Saturday Night interview. Enjoy. Talkcast 440- A little Handwavium with Richard Paolinelli In this episode we get to, once again, touch base with multi-talented friend of the show Richard Paolinelli. As is usual when Richard comes on, whatever main topic we were planning to discuss becomes part of an auditory omelet, whereby we know where we want to end up but actually have no idea what’s inside until we’re done. Never one to disappoint, the topics ranged from the output from his new NEWSLETTER, his “1K Weekly Serial Series” and trust me when I tell you that the pre-show discussion was just fantastic (Kriana thinks we should do a show just sing snippets from the pre-show talk and it’s not a bad idea at all). But really (yes, I know, Never ever ever start a sentence with but…) the reason Richard was coming on was to talks about a new amazing series of novellas he is currently working on with his grandson, Gibson Buffa called The Timeless. The first two books in the series are out and the plan is to have a six book arc to be finished this summer. So, what are these books about; Sci Fi, Fantasy, classic historical retelling, future history, young adult, not young adult, a new twist on the retelling of 1001 Arabian Nights? Yes and much more. And (I know, never start a sentence with and) if I forgot to mention fun, my bad. This is indeed a fun series to read. Please enjoy this interview, however, one slight clarification. During the interview Richard did NOT say having shingles was “fun”. scifisaturdaynight.com/?p=9621

Good Monday morning. Starting this week the UVC is going to provide links to Sci-Fi Saturday Night’s weekly Podcasts. If you are not familiar with Sci-Fi Saturday Night they do wonderful interviews with locally talented Authors, Artists, and Artisans. Please check out their show, and enjoy. (Sci-Fi Saturday Night can contain adult language, listener discretion is advised) Talkcast439 – Of Comics and Innocent Aliens Abroad scifisaturdaynight.com/?p=9614 Dr. Bruce Olav Solheim www.bruceolavsolheim.com/home.html Some interviews just happen all by themselves. No matter how much you plan and research, the conversation does what the hell it pleases and meanders wherever it wants. Thus was this episode with Bruce Olav Solheim; Radio Talk Show Host, Playwright, History Professor, member of MUFON, author of 8+ books on a wide range of subjects… and then there is his new comic endeavor, Snarc. Snarc is the beginning of the misadventures of an Alien and his sentient talking staff as they crisscross America, witnessing the foibles of the human condition. Snarc show firsthand how humanity deals, or doesn’t, with such topical subjects as PTSD and the crisis of returning servicemen, life on the streets in a wealthy country, mainstream informational ignorance, immigration, Area 51 and the plight of the Native Americans, just to name a few. As oddly and compellingly informational as the comic is, so is Bruce. In the conversation we had with him, it became clear that we were just scratching the captivating multi-levels of complexity that turned out this story from a life of such diversity. Have fun trying to figure it out, we did.

The Upper Valley Comic Expo is excited to introduce our very own Artist Karen Gosselin Karen Gosselin is a talented freelance illustrator and author whom has been in the business for longer than she’ll admit to. Her journey started in the early 2000’s when she did some inside artwork for a friend’s gaming module. Later, she had a blast creating the cover, and inside artwork, for a children’s poetry book, “Roby School”. Did she stop? No. Karen attended numerous New England Comic Conventions within the Artist Alley community throughout the 2000s. She was contacted by FASA’s art director to work on inside artwork for “1878: Big Trouble in Little Soho”, and “1878: London or The Haunted City”. Karen also worked on covers for Matt Herring’s “Monkey See-Sea Monkey”, the future “My Peculiar Family II” and William Alexander’s “Reichkinder, a Professor Ridgeway Thriller”. As an author, she published her first short story, “Eggsestential Circumstances” for the “My Peculiar Family” anthology. Currently, she is working with Upper Valley Comic Expo, designing killer art for their site, logo, and FB page. Visit her at her Facebook page, www.facebook.com/KarenGosselinArtandIllustration42/ to see more artwork and upcoming projects.

Hello everyone in the UVC Expo FB page. Normally at this time of year comic book fans begin to look forward to Free Comic book day. This year Free Comic book day is not going to happen. Most of the comic industry is pencil down, Diamond distribution is laying off and has slowed down/stopped shipping. But we should not despair, instead we should support NH comic book stores. This pandemic is adversely effecting small business comic shops. In turn comic stores are changing to safely provide products (comics, games, graphic novels, all the great things that make them unique) at their stores. Many stores are now providing Curbside, Mail order, or Limited delivery to customers. We at the UVC Expo are providing a list of stores, addresses, contact information and services that they provide. As we approach May 2nd let’s show our support to these small businesses by ordering some comics. In this pandemic let’s make May 2nd Resilience Day, be the day we say hell no to losing our local comic stores.

Upper Valley Comic Expo is excited to welcome Author Ceara Comeau to the UVC Expo. Please check out Ceara’s work on her website www.cearacomeau.com. Ceara Comeau hails from New Hampshire and has been writing for fifteen years. Her writing career began with self-publishing collections of short stories which later turned into full length novels. Up until her early twenties, she has published six books. It was at this time that the young author dove into the world of science fantasy, beginning a new adventure. It was then that she decided to take a series she worked hard on developing years ago and rewrite it. It first started out as an eight book novella series, then to a trilogy, and then it turned into one book, “Memories of Chronosalis”. This book invites the reader to get a glimpse at one of the solar systems in the universe that she’s creating. It also received the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award. Following this, she wrote, “A Scientist’s Remorse” which is a history of the characters introduced in “Memories of Chronosalis”. “The Knight of Two Realms” is the first book of her trilogy, “Heroes of Avalon”. It is the launching point that introduces the main villains of the Chronosalis Universe.
