Discussing and Signing his novel Edward Maret: A Novel for the Future

Stony Brook Associate Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology, Robert I. Katz has authored or co-authored over forty scientific publications and is principle editor of the book Therapeutic Agents Used in Anesthesia. Katz's novel Edward Maret: A Novel for the Future has received numerous favorable reviews, including Science Fiction Chronicle's, which called the book "sophisticated and well-written". Robert Tollins, author of Unhealthy Boundaries, called Edward Maret "a gripping, fast-paced sci-fi mystery".

Borrowed Tides Paul Levinson
Discussing and Signing his novel Borrowed Tides

Paul Levinson's seven non-fiction books include Digital Mc Luhan: A Guide to the Milennium, which won the Lewis Mumford Award for Outstanding Scholarship. His debut novel, The Silk Code won the Locus Award for Best First Novel and was a runner-up in Barnes & Nobles's "Explorations" contest. Levinson's second novel Borrowed Tides, which was a selection for the Science Fiction Book Club, was dubbed "an ingenious narrative that loops back on itself like a Moebius strip" by Publisher's Weekly.
