I'm so excited to have my first attempt at a pulp fiction piece published (under my 'other' name). It's a science fiction short story, Star Gun for Hire, which I have written before, but I didn't even really know what pulp fiction was. So, I did a little research. The term actually comes from the...

I'll start off by saying: Don't be fooled by the picture. Yes, I've been in the Tardis, but I am no Dr. Who expert. My take on this could be completely lacking in the needed context and I may be completely off base here.

I've started to get some of my schedules for upcoming conferences, and it's reminded me how much traveling I'm going to be doing over the next six months. I'll be at Norwescon in Seattle at the end of March, Ad Astra in Toronto a week later, Origins in Columbus in June, Readercon in Boston...

...I'd be the first human being to plant his boot on the red sands of Mars.
I idolized Neil Armstrong as a child, dreamed of joining the space program, exploring strange, new worlds with Captain Kirk and his Vulcan first officer...
Okay, so I had trouble discriminating between reality and fantasy....

Millie looked at the screen in the front of her couch and it read, “When ready to return home, please press the red button.”
She asked, “Is everyone ready to go home?”
Tired little voices from the couches behind her agreed that they were ready to go home. Jasmine said, “I just wish that it wasn’t...
