Blue Bedlam Science Fiction Presents: FLUENCY

On March 24, 2015 I got an excited message from a friend:

"Fluency is on BoingBoing!"

What…? I said, and went off to look!

 Jason Weisberger, the publisher of BoingBoing.net said this about Fluency:

Jennifer Foehner Wells' highly recommended Fluency is a phenomenal story of first contact!

Decades ago NASA discovered a drifting UFO. After months crammed together in a small spaceship Dr. Jane Holloway, and the rest of the crew, are unprepared to find something alive. Suddenly simply surviving seems impossible, and the alien may be Jane's best ally.

Great descriptions of technology, well written characters and believable relationships, and great plot twists and turns keep this book moving fast. I'm absolutely looking forward to this story continuing!

On the same day, a tweet showed up in my mentions from Brianna Wu, an independent video game developer and cofounder of Giant Spacekat. Brianna has a huge Twitter following and that led to lots of new people reading Fluency and lots of Twitter mentions in the following days.

Whew! These were exciting, but the internet wasn't done with me yet…

The 2015 eLit awards, an industry-wide, unaffiliated awards program open to all members of the electronic publishing industry, were announced in April 2015. This global awards program is committed to illuminating and honoring the very best of English language digital publishing entertainment. 

Fluency found itself at the top of the heap in that competition, taking the GOLD in the Fantasy/Science fiction category. Yay!

Indie Reader read and reviewed Fluency in January of 2015 and gave it 5 out of 5 stars!

"What might be the most impressive part of FLUENCY is the attention paid to each character, making them not one-note stock characters (there are no Red Shirts here!) but interesting, complicated individuals."

IR Verdict: FLUENCY is a great read for sci-fi fans and general readers alike. A smart concept, natural dialog and great character development make this a page-turner.
