A lively reading and discussion with Pat Murphy and Madeleine Robins, moderated by Bay Area author and editor Terry Bisson.
Pat Murphy writes fiction that has “a hint of the strange,” from the Nebula Award-winning The Falling Woman to the World Fantasy Award winner Bones. Her novelette “Rachel in Love” won the Nebula Award, the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, the Locus Award, and the Asimov Readers Award. When not writing fiction she has written about science for the Exploratorium and Klutz Press, as well as a column with physicist Paul Doherty for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. She is currently the Activity Guru/Evil Genius of Mystery Science, creating science curricula and activities for elementary school students. She is a co-founder of the James Tiptree Memorial Award.
Madeleine Robins has been, in no particular order, a nanny, a teacher, an actor and stage-combatant, an administrator, a comic book editor, a baker, typist-clerk for Thos. Cook’s Houses of Parliament office, a repairer-of-hurt-books, an editorial consultant, and a writer. Her work includes the New York Times notable book The Stone War, Sold for Endless Rue, and three books in her swashbuckling alt-Regency-noir detective series: Point of Honour, Petty Treason, and The Sleeping Partner. She is a founding member of the online publishing collective Book View Cafe, the Operations Manager of the American Bookbinders Museum, and is working on another book.
