I think Sheffield's Erasmus Darwin stories may be the only series-character historical fictions to have appeared in FANTASTIC, ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE, F&SF, and probably elsewhere I've forgotten (ASIMOV'S SF?)...(not just the skipping from magazine to magazine nor these particular magazines, but also the periodicals' slight variations in audience). TM -----Original Message----- From: Camille Bacon-Smith [mailto:camille@VOICENET.COM] Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2001 4:01 PM To: SF-LIT@sun8.loc.gov Subject: Philadelphia Fantastic--Nancy Kress and Charles Sheffield Join the Philadelphia Fantastic authors, editors, and fans at BORDERS BOOKS, 1727 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for our fourth year of readings in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. To kick off the real millenium, we have a great double bill: acclaimed science fiction writers Nancy Kress and Charles Sheffield will read from their new works on January 26, 2001 @7:30 pm. Nancy Kress has written eighteen books of fantasy, science fiction (including the popular"Sleepless Trilogy"), thrillers, and young adult, and three collections of her deservedly renowned short fiction. She has won numerous awards, including three Nebulas and a Hugo for her short fiction. Charles Sheffield has written forty novels and over a hundred shorts stories. In his other profession--scientist--he is a well known popularizer of science, and writes a weekly syndicated column, "The Borderlands of Science." Not surprisingly, Sheffield has likewise won the major awards in science fiction, including Nebulas, Hugos, The Campbell award, and the Japanese Sei-un award. Join us to hear these two fantastic stars in science fiction read and discuss their work. Philadelphia Fantastic presents a series of readings and informal discussions by and with local writers of speculative fiction on the fourth Friday of the month. Our location is BORDERS BOOKS, 1727 Walnut Street, and the time is 7:30 pm. So grab a latte and join Nancy Kress and Charles Sheffield at Borders for some science fiction. That's January 26th. The readings are free: post-reading snack-hunt is pay as you go.
