Terrific, this award is very well deserved:)
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America has named Samuel R. Delany its newest Grand Master. All the details are here.
I’m still doing my “no comments on SFWA for a year” thing, so I won’t discuss this substantively at the moment. I will say this: This is an award both well chosen and well deserved.

In classic MIT fashion Lobby 7 has been hacked, Ender’s Game style.

In other news (and after whole minutes of deliberation), I’m doing NaNoWriMo again. Yes, on top of the other special projects I have going on. Feel free to check out my progress in the NaNo sidebar widget. This also means that I will be extra busy so posts here are likely to be, well, not here. As much.
/nano ftw!

Earlier this month I was fortunate enough to win the Five Rivers Publishing Wasps at the Speed of Sound contest! It was a great competition and gave me the opportunity to decode the Morse Code message on Derryl Murphy’s Wasps at the Speed of Sound book cover, designed by Art Director, Jeff Minkevics.
It was a lot of fun and (extra yay) means that I also get to enjoy not one, not two, but ten e-books from Five Rivers. The chance to sample such a wide range of books is terrific, and I can’t wait to read them all:) Thanks, Five RIvers!

It’s time for me to find a new book to read, and what better place to start looking than SFSignal’s delightful visualization of NPR’s Top 100 SFF Books? Sure, the list is a little older, but literature is timeless, people, timeless!
