In three years, the venerable Pacific Northwest’s home convention Norwescon will be half a century old, and we attendees likewise fifty years older. Is it worth it? Dang right, it is! Steve describes what goes on there (except for programming. He missed all that stuff.)
It’s been a bit over 40 years since L. Ron Hubbard began the institution Writers of the Future to “pay forward” his success in writing science fiction. In that time, well over 800 writers (and illustrators!) have won awards, most going on to major careers in the field. This week, Steve reviews the 40th volume in the series. And finds it excellent!
This week Steve comments at length on a convention he missed most of. He hopes to obfuscate that fact with verbiage.
This week Steve examines a prolific author of the ‘40s and ‘50s who seems to be nearly forgotten today. Maybe we can change that!
