If there was one book I could erase from my mind and read again for the first time it would be the Unbroken by CL Clark

I'll never forget the wonder of reading it the first time and experiencing the joy of feeling truly represented in a fantasy setting

As a break from my three fantasy WIPs i'm writing a scifi story and it is a very interesting experience to go from explaning magic systems to explaining why the main character's ship has narrow tunnels connecting its rooms instead of hallways.

One of my current WIPs is set in a cassette tape scifi setting where comedically evil corporations rule.
The main character is a freelance cargo hauler who ends up exploring scarily outdated space station beyond corporate ruled sectors.
