    #NowWithAdded… Dystopian

    Originally posted on Fiction Can Be Fun: What I absolutely love about this feature is the responses we receive are so terrifically varied. Even knowing that authors are individual and unique, you never know what to expect… and that aspect delights me. Opening this feature for 2021 is Iain Kelly, whose dystopian work The State…

    GUARDED OPTIMISM

    They emerged from their shelters. Some more guarded than others. The younger ones, of course, were more exuberant. They shook hands, hugged and kissed and breathed in the fresh air.

    A FEW TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES

    #IndieSpotlight: The State Trilogy from Iain Kelly

    Originally posted on Fiction Can Be Fun: #IndieSpotlight is a new feature we’ve added to the FCBF portfolio for 2021. In truth, I can’t believe we’ve not done so earlier as there’s so much fine work from #WritingCommunity being independently published.
