Things happening!
Forgive the scattershot.
We got a request for a full manuscript from a great editor. I'm thrilled. HD is a book that fits nowhere. It's not quite any one thing, but a beautiful genre blend. It is the book it was supposed to be, but there's not really a market for it. Fingers crossed.
I might be teaching a "How to Write SF" class this summer at CMU. I'll know this coming week if it could be fit in or it was too late (if so, we might do it in the fall). I'm hoping CMU staff members like Barb Carlson (who could take it for free) would like this.
Another article came out about our trip to the Mars Desert Research Station, this time in the faculty staff newsletter, The PIPER --

I'll be heading to see my dad in FL during CMU's spring break. So busy. I'll probably study physics the whole time I'm there. I'm currently teaching Experimental Physics Lab (for the first time).
I have a couple of stories shortlisted and I am so nervous about this. I've been jumpy for days.
Yeah, Alpha students taking winning spot and first runner up. Amazing. Congrats Lara Donnelly! Congrats Aleka Gürel! Congrats to you all.
