Hot Air

Best Day for Radio Since the LZ-129 Docked at Lakehurst: on Saturday, October 14, I will be appearing on Hour of the Wolf, hosted by Jim Freund, on WBAI 99.5 FM, from 5 to 7 a.m.

Hour of the Wolf’s format will be music, conversation with Jim about speculative fiction, and a reading by the show’s guest (that would be me).

If you’re not in WBAI’s broadcast range (the New York metropolitan area), you can listen to the show on the web.

Writing News – “From Wayfield, From Malagasy”

My novelette, “From Wayfield, From Malagasy,” appears in the October 2006 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact, at your local newsstand now. Directly following my story is a Biolog about me by Richard A. Lovett (a terrific fiction writer himself, who has stories in the September and October Analogs), who makes me seem much more interesting than I actually am.

Other Writing News

A few friends are also having a pretty good writing week: William Shunn’s () novella, “Inclination,” and Richard Bowes’ novel, From the Files of the Time Rangers, have both made it onto the preliminary Nebula Awards ballot. Congratulations!

David Barr Kirtley’s () story, “Blood of Virgins,” appears in the October 2006 Realms of Fantasy.

Literary Talk

A Blogger’s Life

Today’s installment of the comic strip Pearls Before Swine needs no editorial gloss from me.
