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.

Space is Big Storybundle!
I'm pleased to say that SFWA picked up one of my books, Primary Inversion, for their Space is Big storybundle. Yay!
Here is the info: storybundle.com/space
The SFWA Space is Big - Curated by Michael Mammay and the SFWA
The late, great, Douglas Adams wrote: "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." Perhaps the only thing bigger than space itself are the stories that take place within it, and in the latest bundle curated by SFWA, we have 15 great ones for you at one low price. We hope you'll join us for this entertaining ride between the stars.
For this bundle, the SFWA Independent Authors Committee had the pleasure of sorting through over nearly a hundred excellent submissions! It was tough, but we narrowed our selection down to the ones we thought you'd enjoy the most.
