2012 Year in Review
The authors and hosts of Contact-Infinite Futures all have SF or SFR books from Carina Press. So, I thought I’d use my last post of the year to list our books published in 2012. I’m honored to be among this interesting, intelligent, fun and creative group of authors. – J.L. Hilton Cathy Pegau Caught in […]
Goofy heroes and kind heroines
The other night, my 12-year-old daughter asked me, “Who do you think would play Duin if they made a movie of your books?” She’s read versions of Stellarnet Rebel and Stellarnet Prince, in which I’ve removed the adult scenes and sexual references. Duin is her favorite character in the Stellarnet Series. She says he is […]

Is science innovation driven by science fiction?
Arizona State University recently opened its new Center for Science and the Imagination to bring together scientists and science fiction authors. From the NYTimes: Its first projects include a collaboration with the chip maker Intel, which has created a Tomorrow Project to generate “science-based” conversations about the future. The center will collaborate with (cyberpunk author […]
Warp drive on its way to a reality near you
In Stellarnet Rebel, I refer to physicists inventing “particle engines” to “shift” space. I had to come up with some easy way for my heroine Genny O’Riordan to move from Earth to Asteria Colony — located on a planet orbiting one of the suns of the Alpha Centauri system. In a brief and (supposedly) painless blink, […]
Dances with tropes
I have to avoid the site TV TROPES at all costs, unless I’m willing to lose two or three hours of my day. For me, it’s worse than Wikipedia, Dictionary.com and The Onion all put together. Once I land there, I just can’t tear myself away. For the uninitiated, here’s a description from the site’s main […]
Cover art: Stellarnet Prince by J.L. Hilton
I finally received the cover for my next book, Stellarnet Prince, which is coming out in November. Not that the art was late or anything, I was just impatient to see it! I’m so excited about this next installment in the Stellarnet Series. I think I’m starting to feel like a “real” author now that […]
Top 10 favorite sci-fi moments
I’m not about to attempt a ranking of the best sci-fi moments of all time. If you want some of that, there’s Ultimate Top Ten Sci-Fi Moments, 20 Great “All Seems Lost” Moments in Sci-Fi/Fantasy or Classic Sci-fi Moments Recreated in Lego, among others. Or you could check out Top 10 Dumb Moments in Sci-Fi […]
An excerpt of my next cyberpunk romantic thriller
Stellarnet Prince, book two of my Stellarnet Series, will be released in November by Carina Press. Here’s the blurb from the book’s website. Her alien lovers call her J’ni, the sacred flower of their world. The Glin call her Truth Teller, one of the magical human travelers from beyond the sky ocean. But humanity calls […]
Storyteller and jewelsmith
I’ll be at ConCarolinas throughout the weekend of June 1-3, in the dealer room wearing my other hat for JLH Jewelry. (And promoting my books, as always, but I won’t be on any author panels.) I design and create science fiction themed jewelry, so I thought I’d share a little bit of what I do […]
