SFWA

Yup, I drank the Koolaid. To be fair, I drank it a long time ago. When I was a kid, my mother was a member of the Science Fiction Book Club. We had these built-in bookshelves in the spare room that were half full of science fiction hardcovers by many of the Golden Age and later SFF greats – Tolkien, McCaffrey, Clarke, Asimov, LeGuin and many more. One thing I learned early on – all these folks were members of a mysterious organization called SFWA (pronounced (Siffwah). I knew at the age of eleven, when I read the Lord of … Read more

Just got back from what turned out to be an amazing con. Last year at BayCon, Rina Weisman approached me and said she was the chair for World Con 2026, to be held in Oakland, California. She was in a bit of a bind. She expected a number of indie and small press authors to apply for space in the dealer hall, and didn’t have a lot of room to work with. So she asked if I would do a Liminal Fiction booth and support those authors. I said sure (I mean, when do I ever say no? And yes, … Read more
