Where I’m Interviewed for ItBusinessEdge
I’m the star of an interview for ItBusinessEdge. While I’ve been interviewed for a lot of technology articles, and periodically for our local paper, and even been in an interactive futurist blog session for the Washington Post, I’ve never seen a taped interview dumped so literally onto a page. It reads like I talk in a casual conversation at [...]
Sci-fi Favorites at the Symphony
Toni and I went out to the Seattle Symphony last night. They played “sci-fi favorites” with a laser show — I highly recommend it! Its pretty easy to forget that a lot of our science fiction moveis really have fabulous scores.
Google’s Winning Moon Madness
The space enthusiast in me is really pleased with Google this week, as they’ve announced a prize for getting commercial craft developed to land on the moon. In this case, read that as real people instead of big government. They also picked a nice spot — the moon is close enough. They’re [...]
Interview Posted at Educated Earth
There is a new book review and interview about Building Harlequin’s Moon posted over at the Educated Earth site. I really like that book, and so it’s nice to see it get noticed. I’m three novels past that now (1 published), so it’s always a pleasant surprise to see it pop up in [...]
Back from Hawaii
I can’t decide if it’s a writer’s paradise or not. I think I’d get bored if I lived there; we were getting bored after a week and a half. Although I must say that to a girl that grew up in California, a warm ocean was pretty close to the best thing in [...]
Clarion West Season is On!
For any of you in the Seattle area, I recommend stopping by the Clarion West readings (at the SFM) on Tuesday nights. Clarion West is a non-profit organization, and is always grateful for donations. One way to donate, and encourage a writer, is to sponsor someone in the write-a-thon. No, I’m not [...]
News: Radcon, Arizona, and the Silver Ship and the Sea
Well, I had no connectivity at Radcon and almost none the following week in Arizona…so this will be a long catch-up.
Radcon was wonderful…a great group of people. The concom there does a wonderful job, and takes excellent care of their pros. I actually got a chunk of writing done as well. And [...]
Off to Radcon!
I leave tomorrow for the Radcon convention in Pasco, Washington. That’s in the tri-cities, right around the Hanford nuclear plant (thus the name). I’ll get to visit with a lot of my friends - largely people who live around here but who I’m more likely to get to spend time with at a [...]
Fast Forward 1 Available
Fast Forward 1 is an anthology edited by Lou Anders at Pyr. Larry Niven and I have a story in the anthology. Overall, the table of contents is fantastic. I’ve only worked my way through a few of the stories, and am really looking forward to finding time to read them all.
The anthology [...]
January news
Well, the biggest news is getting this new-look website up. I’ll leave my old blogger posts up for awhile. Many thanks to Tony Geer, my website designer. You’ll still be able to find the global warming blog as a separate entity, visit my livejournal for very informal posts, and drop by futurist.com [...]
