QUEER SCI FI Reviews Prolepsis

Prolepsis Review

“The story is period perfect. I’d forgotten all about CompuServe forums and message boards. It brought back so many memories for me… The whole thing has such a light touch that when a sad revelation is made, it gets you right where it hurts. There are moments of sadness spread throughout a story of such quiet joy and hope. Just like life – good times and bad times hand in hand. Read it, shed that tear, smile that smile and thank all the Seans out there for getting us to where we are today.” Full Story at Queer Sci Fi

Get It On Amazon The Review Solomon’s Paradox is short – just thirty-three pages – but damn does it pack an emotional punch. McClymer calls it “Mom Sci-Fi,” but I think that sells the story short. Sure, the protagonist is a mother, but this is social sci-fi at its best, taking a fascinating idea and extrapolating it in the most personal terms. The … Read more
