With only a few short stories nominated for this year’s Hugo Award, I thought I’d take a moment to give them a closer look. The scarcity of the list and the implications of such a small field has already […] -

More directly, I need more women in my Science Fiction. I am not referring to fictional characters within the pages. No. I mean I would like to see more women writers in the genre. I have not been able to find a […] -
