  • 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.
