Since the World Science Fiction Convention has opened nominations for Hugo awards, my real writer friends have been posting lists of what they wrote last year that's eligible for a Hugo. And it occurred to me that *I* have a story published in 2012 that's science fiction (arguably hard science fiction, if you take climatology (based on the original global warming report from over a decade ago, that oddly enough has been coming true just as reported) as a hard science). So here it is, for those as wanting to nominate (and you could buy the book and read the story, too -- I like it):

Short Story
"Songs of Innocence", by Karen Williams in Tales From the House Band, Volume 2 edited by Deb Grabien


Thanks!

I'm going to be at FOGcon, aka Friends Of Genre convention, from March 8-10 at the Walnut Creek (California) Marriott. This year's theme is Law, Order, & Crime, and the panels I'm on relate to science fiction/fantasy and, well, crime. My day job involves all aspects of managing, searching, and reviewing the large document sets collected when big companies sue each other (think Oracle v Google, Apple v Samsung, just about any time there's a big headline about a product problem), and between that and living with a cop I'm interested in how all of these kinds of things will look in the future. I'll post my schedule once it's finalized.

One of the honored guests is Terry Bisson, who is brilliant and witty and very funny. He and I founded the SF in SF reading series (though I'm just an occasional audience member these days), and there will be a special SF in SF reading in SF (duh) on Saturday, and some of the FOGcon attendees will be reading, so come to that, too.

One of the other honored guests is Susan R. Matthews, who writes a series of novels set in the Jurisdiction. One of her main characters is a doctor who is forced to torture political prisoners, and is horrified to discover he likes it. These are very, very good. (Teresa loved these, and turned me on to them.) I'm on a panel with Susan R. Matthews, and I hope I don't come across too much like a drooling fangirl.

This is the third FOGcon, and I've been to the first two as well. It's a lot of fun and worth going to.
