The Essential Patricia A. McKillip by Patricia A. McKillip In β€œWhat Inspires Me,” Patricia A. McKillip’s WisCon 2004 Guest of Honor speech, and penultimate entry in The Essential Patricia A. McKillip, the award-winning fantasy writer said: β€œWhat I set out …

Here's an excellent, in-depth review of Tachyon's lastest collection of Patricia A. McKillip's short fiction. She is a writer whose entire body of work I consider essential reading -- but this volume is a good place to start if you don't know her work already. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

"How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but in oneself? There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light." - Barry Lopez

Think the movie Metropolis set in the desert but instead of labor rights it's water rights. Plus automata, alien goats, & stories written in the stars! utampapress.org/product/a-hu...

How can you be talking about HISTORY with everything that's going on. 18th century history? Women's history? Waves hands.

Friends, it is precisely because of everything that's going on that we need to talk about history much, much more.
