Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 06:14PM ...and I haven't abandoned this blog. After filing my taxes, I'll be back when there's something to report or post about.

Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 11:11AM As a girl, Hillary Rodham Clinton wrote to NASA asking how to become an astronaut, only to receive a reply saying that NASA wasn’t accepting women as astronauts. This was the tale that inspired my 1999 alternate history story “Hillary Orbits Venus,” which is now available in e-form in Wildside Press’s Sixth Science Fiction Megapack, which also includes stories by Nancy Kress, Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke, Samuel R. Delany, George Zebrowski, and more. And it’s a bargain at the price.
