Another success in the series of high-in-the-sky soirees hosted by Rob Sawyer and Carolyn Clink occurred last Saturday. Attendance was international in scope: Buffalo, N.Y. was well represented. I have read the three chapbooks I brought home with me: “Here There Be Monsters” by Bud Carson; “Sphinx!” by Tony Pi; “Radio Nowhere” by Douglas Smith. “Radio Nowhere” I liked the best. I am putting it aside for our younger son who is in his third year at Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo. “Radio Nowhere” is set on the campus of neighbouring University of Waterloo. All three of these short stories are eligible for nomination for a 2010 Aurora Award .

Yes, it was a great party. Speaking of Auroras, I was amused to see just how many of them Rob had tucked away on various bookshelves. When I mentioned this, he pointed out that he hadn’t won an Aurora in a while and he was hoping to break that streak.
I think Rob also has enough Enterprises to equip most of Starfleet. And as a fan of Irregular Webcomic, I was amused to see some Lego® Planet of the Apes figures on a shelf.
Hey, thanks for the kind words on “Radio Nowhere.” Glad that you enjoyed it. I’ve posted the story on my website in case anyone else would like to read it: http://www.smithwriter.com/Radio_Nowhere
Great party great guests, excellent hosts.
Glad you enjoyed my story “Here There Be Monsters”. You know the one written by BRAD Carson, not Bud Carson… although I do like that for a possible pen name, maybe for a mystery crossover. Hmmm.
Here there Be Monsters is available in Ages of Wonder, DAW Books, edited by Julie Czerneda and Rob St. Martin.
Last few days to nominate for Auroras.
