My first blog post
I've never done a blog before, but I will try one here. It seems like this will work better than sending around notices for online publications as an "event." Cuz a blog entry or interview isn't actually an event!
I'll start with a link of my essay about science fiction and our daughters that I sent around a few days ago. I wrote it for the online Fantasy Book Cafe, and excellent source of book online discussions.

Nebula Awards Weekend
Well, I'm off in a few hours to the mass author signing at the Nebula Awards weekend. The event is 5:30-7:30 pm. The address is
Hyatt Regency Crystal City
Reagan National Airport
2799 Jefferson Davis Hwy
Arlington, VA 22202
Arlington Virginia is a bit of a drive for me, but one that I enjoy. It's a great day for a "Sunday" drive (okay, a Friday drive :-)). The weather is almost perfect outside. If only it could be like this for most of the year. Not all, though. We need a few snow storms to liven things up.
I'm especially excited this year because I am the editor of the Nebula Awards anthology that SFWA puts out each year. We will be showcasing the award winners, other authors, and also the Rysling winners in poetry. Past editors have included James Patrick Kelly & John Kessel (2012), Kevin J. Anderson (2011), Bill Fawcett (2010), Ellen Datlow (2009), Ben Bova (2008), Mike Resnick (2007), Gardner Dozois (2006), Jack Dann (2005), and Vonda N. McIntyre (2004). Those are the ones listed at the SFWA site.
For other details, you can look at the SFWA site note for the signing.
If you're in the area today, I hope you can come by. You don't need to be registered as an attendee at the Nebula Awards to go to the signing.

Meet the Chemists writing science fiction
Jon Evans, an author and essayist, did an article on chemists writing science fiction for Chemistry World, one of the premier science magazines in the UK, published and owned by the Royal Society of Chemistry. He included me as one of the chemists! The article appears here:
