9 This just in: I’ll be doing a fiction reading, with fiction writer and SF academic John Langan, at the Melville Gallery of Manhattan’s South Street Seaport on Tuesday, January 2, as part of the New York Review of Science Fiction Reading Series.
The doors open at 6:30 p.m., and complete details can be found on the NYRSF page. The series is curated by Jim Freund, host of Hour of the Wolf, broadcast on WBAI radio.

Happy New Year to you, too, Shelly Rae. I completely understand you needing to get back to the left coast. By the way, re: seals, had this to say.

Thank Ellie and you for last night. Sorry to say by tomorrow evening I will be out in the heartland, bringing those poor benighted souls, the gift of ME!
