Earlier this month when I posted my personal Best Of list of short stories for the year, I stated that I would like to see any of those works nominated for awards. This is very true. Later on I’ll also make a post about other folks or works I think deserving of nominations, including novels [...]
Hugo Award nominations were announced yesterday and this shiny book got a nod in the Best Related Work Category: That’s right! Chicks Dig Time Lords is a Hugo nominated work! I am so incredibly happy, yay! And, if I am allowed to say: well deserved! Lynne and Tara put together a really solid lineup and [...]
Though I am not fond of WorldCon, I do wish I could be there tonight to party with the Hugo winners. Many people I know and love to pieces won tonight: BEST NOVELLA: “The Erdmann Nexus” by Nancy Kress (Asimov’s Oct/Nov 2008) BEST SHORT STORY: “Exhalation” by Ted Chiang (Eclipse Two, also: audio version) BEST [...]

I complained at the time that she dismissed the issue of money far too easily, and I still feel that way. $50 to become a non-attending member of WorldCon grants you voting rights, but who pays [...]

I have not been to WorldCon in a number of years and that isn’t likely to change soon. I’ll have [...]
Tumblr – Come see the inside of my fandom brain
Twitter – Intermittent rambling, links, and what I just ate
Facebook – A nexus of me, yet strangely impersonal
Google+ – Another nexus of me for Google Geeks
Delicious – A wild collection of links, mostly of fiction
GoodReads – The books I’m reading and the ones I’m in
Flickr - Photographic evidence of a few of my exploits
LiveJournal – A mirror of this blog, nothing more
I'm a writer, most often committing acts of genre (fantasy, science fiction, and other stretches of the imagination). You can find my short stories in many and various magazines and anthologies and podcasts. In addition to being a writer I also engage in activism and fandom -- often both at once.
