| 4:35 pm | Donald Beeler 1937-2021 Firstly Get Vaccinated!My father died on the weekend from complications from COVID and he was not vaccinated. Granted he had asthma and was in his mid 80s but still it would have helped.I spent my first 8 years living with him and from that I got a love for camping, car racing and Chinese food among other things. I also developed a fear of failure that later in life would cause me to not take challenges or try to take the easy way out to avoid failing.For the next 8 years he would visit about once a month and usually take us on a vacation week. From this I continued my love of camping and acquired a love of movie theatres because that was an easy thing for us to do. Also we ate more Chinese food. From this I definitely developed a love of the Other. Then he moved to Vancouver Island so I only saw him every year or so. Over the years we grew apart following different passions and beliefs. Still he is gone now and that is a sadness for the family. |

| 10:31 am | David G. Hartwell, July 10, 1941 - January 19, 2016. Originally posted by  kylecassidy at David G. Hartwell, July 10, 1941 - January 19, 2016. I went to Worldcon in 2009 partly to sell a book I was working on, Where I Write: Fantasy & Science Fiction Writers in Their Creative Spaces and the timing couldn't have been better. My website had gone viral, getting more than two million hits a day, Wired Magazine had just written it up, I was at the center of everything Science Fiction.I had a meeting scheduled with David Hartwell from Tor Books that night, at the gigantic Tor party and I was pretty confident.The party itself was amazing. John Scalzi was there, Neil Gaiman was there, George R. R. Martin was there, the place was packed. David and I sat down on a sofa and he looked at every page of my book layout and poured over every one. He was very enthusiastic, telling stories about writers, looking over all the bookshelves. I think it probably took him half an hour to go over the whole thing. He was filled with praise. And I said, "Well, is this something you'd be interested in?" and he said "No." The Tor Party. Click to see larger.And I was kind of stunned. Why had he sat there saying all these glorious things for the past half hour? Why waste this block of time on me when he could be talking to George R. R. Martin or Charlie Stoss?"For what it would cost to print this," he said, "we could publish five Jay Lake novels. The money's just not there to make this a viable book for us. It is beautiful. Thank you for showing me."He gave me some leads and went back to the party. I realized that he'd known the whole time they weren't going to publish it, he'd known when he saw the Wired magazine article. And the reason that he'd agreed to a meeting was because he cared about Fantasy and Science fiction, he loved it, and he loved all the people I'd been photographing. He'd agreed to a meeting not because he was a bad editor, but because he was a good person.I think most other editors would have told me on the phone they wouldn't publish it but David gave me 30 minutes of careful praise instead, because he thought it was something that deserved his kind words. Thank you David, for that. David in Montreal for my "Fandom" collection. Click to see larger.Add me: [LiveJournal] [Facebook] [Twitter] [Google+] [Tumblr] |
| 12:25 am | David Geddes Hartwell, 1941-2016 I first encountered David G. Hartwell at worldcons most likely in Winnipeg in 1994 where I saw him hosting the TOR party in an aloha shirt or a kimono leading the party guests in a rendition of Teen Angel.David was one of the elder statesmen of science fiction, founding the World Fantasy Convention, starting the New York Review of Science Fiction among other feats.Later he and his family began attending my local convention ConFusion and I got to know them on a more personal basis. We had a good few quick chats and he was always warm and friendly to me. I also got to host he and Kathryn Cramer his wife as ConFusion Fan Guests of Honour. A unique honour for them but then he was a unique person as is Kathryn.one of the other highlights of our relationship was when I got to interview him at the 2010 World Fantasy Convention in Columbus.He will be greatly missed. Current Mood:  sad |

| 3:04 pm | Bakka Phoenix the Toronto SF book store's TOP SELLERS IN 2015 which ones have you read Originally posted by cszego at OUR TOP SELLERS IN 2015It's always fun to look back at which titles sold best over the course of the year. Here they are, by format (an * means 'Canadian author').Mass Market1. Goblin Emperor, Katherine Addison2. Rendezvous With Rama, Arthur C. Clarke3. Foxglove Summer, Ben Aaronovitch4. Midnight Riot, Ben Aaronovitch5. Name Of The Wind, Patrick Rothfuss6. Written In Red, Anne Bishop7. Who Fears Death, Nnedi Okorafor8. Hounded, Kevin Hearne9.

Uprooted, Naomi Novik6. Book Of Spirits And Thieves, Morgan Rhodes*7. An Ancient Peace, Tanya Huff*8. The Affinities, Robert Charles Wilson*9. Prairie Fire, E.K. Johnston*10. Just City, Jo Walton*Extra commentary- It's not surprising to see Canadians dominate the hardcover list; we launch a lot of books for local(ish) authors. Like, a LOT.- The #1 mass market paperback sold more than twice as much as #2. Because we loved it. Handselling works.- Ann Leckie owned our trade paperback list this year.- These top 10s aside, our most-sold author this year was Terry Pratchett. Only two of his titles made this list, but overall, we sold more of his titles to more people than any other single author. Which isn't entirely suprising. And makes us happy.I have bolded the ones I have read. |
