Author Archives: Kelly Cipera

Kelly holds bachelors degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice and has just started working on her Masters in CJ, but her true love is books. A bibliophile from a young age she has always had an affinity for the genres of science fiction and fantasy. Her all time favorite books include Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein and The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. She does have a special place in her heart for historic fiction and biographies. If you don't want to spend half a day hearing her rant, don't bring up Robert Jordan or Stephen King.

Kelly's love for science fiction and fantasy goes beyond just books. She is also a fan of television shows like Stargates SG-1, Atlantis and Universe, Doctor Who and Torchwood, as well as shows like Bones and Law and Order. Her two favorite movies of all time are The Fifth Element and Lawrence of Arabia, Blade Runner comes in a close close third.

When not reading, watching tv/movies, or writing for Fandomania she works a full time desk job, practices yoga and enjoys spending time with her husband Dan, who is her kind of geek. She can be reached by the email below:

Sometimes wearing a costume can come with a risk: the over-zealous fan. Chris covered one aspect of this last month, but objectification isn’t the only peril of cosplay, so I’ve put a guide together to help you, the fan, make sure you’re not “that guy” when approaching a cosplayer in person.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a rare book that I keep thinking about after reading. I find that there is a lot more to it than a bunch of high school kids trying to find their identity, their voice, or acceptance from their peers — it has a really good message that I think could really be spread around a little.

The Sigh Comic Review

The Sigh, which reads like a fairy tale, is a story appropriate for all ages. The art, typical to Satrapi, is perhaps not super sophisticated, but is really an addition to the story telling rather than the meat of the story telling.

In this first of three installments, we are introduced to Samuil Petrovitch, a smartass Russian physics genius with a shady past who accidentally puts himself in the middle of two warring crime syndicates in a post-nuclear Armageddon London. That could be the coolest sentence I’ve ever gotten to write and this book was one of the coolest I have read in a long time.
