endy N. Wagner grew up in a town so tiny it didn’t even have a post office. With no television reception, she became a rabid reader, waiting impatiently for the bookmobile’s fortnightly visit to her tiny hometown. Today, her family struggles to find room for her expanding book collection in their Portland, Oregon, home. She really likes books about horror movies, ecology, running, and vegan cooking.

This makes me very very sad: "Author Iain Banks has revealed that he has late stage cancer and is unlikely to live for more than a year."

"Leslie Michael Orchard is a hacker, tinkerer, and creative technologist working in the Ann Arbor / Detroit, MI area. He lives with two spotted Ocicats, two dwarf bunnies, and a very patient and understanding wife. On rare occasions when spare time comes in copious amounts, he plays around with odd bits of code and writing, sharing them on his Web site named 0xDECAFBAD (http://decafbad.com/)."

"My enemy's much-prized effort sits in piles / In the kind of bookshop where remaindering occurs."

"where I was signing and where the books would be signed would be separated by 3,000 miles. This all seemed fairly science fictiony to me, so I said sure, I’d give it a try."
