Corinne Lewandowski’s bio and more . . .

Stories have always fascinated me. Books, television, radio and games always drawn me in the most with intricate stories. Or even just a good romp like the old Godzilla movies.

I enjoy twist endings in shows like The Twilight Zone. When I write something with a little twist I wonder “What would happen if things when that-a-way instead?” Curiosity also drives my writing in all genres, but especially science fiction. What if my characters lived in a world affected by certain traits, societal changes, geography or hardships? And what would they do when pressed to survive?

In the end it’s about building a world that the characters live in and sharing their experiences. The quirky, the diverse and the unusual can be as much in my stories as much as folks just trying to live and let live. 

I hope you enjoy my stories!

Reviews

Pulp Science Fiction From The Rock (includes my story The Final Invasion)

“This is a highly entertaining anthology. The editors asked for stories faithful to pulp fiction but with modern twists that subvert, or perhaps I should say “transcend” its limitations. The writers delivered. For them as likes old-fashioned SF it is a wonderful bunch of stories. And for them as wants to avoid the same-old, same-old, there is an abundance of original touches. Best of both worlds if you ask me. I had gleeful good fun reading this. Maybe my tastes are bizarre to the point of being uniquely unique, but I doubt it. Strongly suspect many people are going to love this anthology as much as I do, which is my subtle way of saying I recommend this book!”

P.S. “The Rock” of the title is, of course, slang for Newfoundland.”
