SFSNNJ Themes for 2020

January - Lost & Found:
The lost, the mysterious,
the missing, the hiding....this month we take a look at
Lost & Found. Abandoned colonies - think Roanoke -
forgotten worlds, lost worlds and all of the mysteries
they hold.

February - China: From Ancient Imperial
China to Modern Middle Kingdom
: ancient,
imperial China through today's modern middle
kingdom. The grand, mysterious dynasties of China.

March - Third Times A Charm!: third time's a
charm! Freshman and sophomore efforts can lead to
a great third. Some pretty awesome trilogies are to
be found. We look at those #3 in a series offerings.

April - Paranormal Physicians: we take a look at
the doctors whose patients are missing something...a
heartbeat. Even the undead and supernatural need a
doctor.

May - Eight (Limbs) is Enough!: we investigate
stories featuring spiders, octopii, and other creatures
with 8 limbs.

June - The Myth-ing Link: Mythology in Genre
Fiction: Greeks, Romans, Norse, old stuff, new stuff,
the possibilities are all over the place. Myths in genre.

July - Collecting A Debt: Gotta pay your bills...or
face the consequences. Sometimes a good deal turns
out to have hidden debts. Make sure you read the
contract before you sign.

August - Bizarre Invasions: Space Invasions!
Nosy neighbor invasions! Invasions of the bizarre and
weird! Preppers get ready!

September - We're Taking On Water! S.O.S.
Sinking ships, under water goings on - think finding a
prehistoric 'thought to be extinct' creature wreaking
havoc - under water labs, sunken ships...
all things under water.

October - Halloween
All things creepy, crawly and Halloween

November - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!
Girls having fun - whether it's good fun, bad fun -
doesn't matter. Girls are owning fun.
