    Stand On Ganymede- Now Available on Amazon

    By Marc W. Polite

    Greetings, everyone. My latest book, Stand On Ganymede is now available on Amazon. This is my sixth book, and my first children’s book.

    Stand On Ganymede tells the story of Aaron, a boy visiting his grandfather on a Saturday afternoon. With his father away on a Martian settlement, Aaron struggles with his sense of self.
    What will Aaron learn from his grandfather, a retired exo-geologist?

    Alison S Hamilton is the illustrator for this work. She has also done the illustrations for You Are Enough by Ofusu Jones-Quartey, and Be Like Me from A to Z: Break Barriers and Achieve Your Dreams by Diversity Decoded. 

  • Marc Polite Listed As Author On Internet Speculative Fiction Database

    Greetings, my readers. As some of you may have noticed, I have been leaning into my affinity for science fiction. Not just from the vantage point of a fan of the genre, but now as a creator. The forthcoming “Stand On Ganymede” will be my first foray into my favorite genre.

    Recently, I learned that I have been listed as an author of speculative fiction. As a blogger, I am compelled to check my internet traffic, and where it is coming from. I got a ping from a source that I did not initially recognize. So, when I followed the source, I saw that it came from a site called The Internet Speculative Fiction Database.

    After verifying its legitimacy, I noticed that it referred to an essay of mine featured in a book published in 2017. I am pleasantly surprised to be listed as a speculative fiction author before my first science fiction book even drops. I don’t know who listed me, but whoever you are, thank you.

    You may find the link here if you are interested in seeing it.
