Science Fiction Trilogy Featured in LibraryBub Selection for December

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "Science fiction fans are always looking for the next big thing," author Jason Sanford explains; "for new stories with worlds and universes we never knew existed; for cutting edge ideas and places and characters unlike anything we've seen or read or contemplated." He has noticed a trend in relation to science fiction of the survival of print books; "even in a digital world people love their print books." In the Power Rising trilogy by Cathy Parker, the plot not only brings readers closer to alien culture, but gives them a greater awareness of the nature around them. With increasing attention to climate and environment, science fiction is building a green consciousness among readers. Parker's urban fantasy features Alaskan whales. As one review on Goodreads put it, "ecologically poignant… the whale theme throughout the book felt so sweet and wholesome and like a big metaphor for many things happening in our world today."

LibraryBub, an industry first, was established in 2015. Dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. Author Sandra Cisneros recalls the importance of the library when she was growing up. "Besides books, the library introduced me to something I didn't know I needed as a child — big doses of quiet. My house was filled with the frenzy of nine people... I could not believe a building existed where talking was outlawed! In my home, if you didn't shout, you didn't get heard... but here was a house of books, quiet as sunlight, a place where I could read and think and nurture my imagination." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.
