genre? Visit these sites:

Robert
Beer is a
cool
science fiction writer, very serious about his writing, with a cool
web site--go take a look and enjoy!

...
David
Blalock's web site, Thran Keep, is
lively and various, with lots of his work available to read and lots of
links to other interesting sites. Go there! Enjoy!
...
D'ya like
coffee?
SO much that even a picture of a full cuppa coffee makes you
feel
good? Well, you have to visit Alan Bruce's aromatic, full rich dark-roasted
web site! He's got ruminations, publications, prognostications, and
coffee
beans--lotsa coffee beans! Pour yourself some joe and settle into it.
...
Andrew
Dennis'
web
site is called "The Memory Hole," and I *think* there's some
literary
significance there but my education isn't good enough -- does it have
something
to do with
1984? (Orwell's book, not the year) Andrew's got snippets
of some of his stories up, some very intriguing and thoughtful essays,
and more links!
...
Mark
Ferrari is best
known as a terrific fantasy
artist.
But look out -- he's working on a novel!
...
Paula
Fleming's site
is funny and fascinating and full of information. I love reading her
stories.
She's been a great source of support and encouragement -- (Said in
Sally
Fields' voice) she likes my writing!
...
Jim
C. Hines is rapidly making a name for
himself in the spec fic world; visit his sleek web site here!
Then hop over to my Light
Bulb Alley & read his Top Ten Writing-related Neuroses list. I
promise I've never exhibited any of those symptoms. Honest.
Really.
No, really! Anyway, Jim's a great writer--watch for his work!
...
Jon
Hodges, youthful
over-achiever, is a great guy anyway. If you like weirdness with a
half-twist,
don't miss his stories, his publications, or his web
site. With his Project Pulp site,
he's single-handedly battling the
evil Lousy Distribution Monster that plagues small genre presses -- and
doing a pretty darn good job of it, too! Go help him out! (Get
there
via his personal site.)
...
Robert
Hole is a multi-talented guy!
He's launched Radio-SF, the
speculative fiction audio ezine, he's an
artist and a writer whose work you can see at his homepage, and he's a
biologist and naturalist and teacher. Biology
Base, his other web page
is a great source of info for anyone who shares Robert's love of
wildlife, nature and
the outdoors.
...
Tim
Jones lives in New Zealand. I keep
buttering up these people all over the world, hoping someday they'll
send
me a plane ticket to come visit them. Until then, though, I assuage my
travel-mania by visiting their web sites and reading their writings.
Tim's
are *well* worth perusing! Here's
his site. (I'd still rather just go to New Zealand and read them on his
very front porch, though.)
...
Dreams
& Nightmares is David Kopaska-Merkel's magazine, and "one of
the
oldest SF, fantasy, and horror poetry magazines in existence."
Whether
you're a reader or a spec fiction writer, you'll want to check out this
site! With info on what David's seeking to publish, links to writer's
resources
and other writers' web pages, and a slew of links to David's writing,
Dreams
& Nightmares will keep you up at night--and that's a good
thing!
...
Doug
Lain has a way-impressive list of
pro and semi-pro spec fiction sales. This might be because he's also
got
a heckuva writing talent. How's this for a link to his site:
...
Joe
Mahoney 's a Canadian SF
Writer, Radio Broadcast Producer and you'll love his website!!
...
Clarion
graduate Hilary Moon Murhpy's web
site is unique--she's got an elephant god watching out for her! Her
writing
is unique, too, and if you should chance upon the photos of her
*biggest*
project--Cassie--you shall fall under a most delightful enchantment.
Here's
the link:
...
Paul Pence's web
site, titled, as far as I can tell, "Paul Pence -- Freelance," is a
treasure-trove! Travel articles, restaurant reviews, humor articles,
and
more -- Tall ships! I LOVE tall ships! Here I am smack-dab in the
middle of the USA, born here, still here after 50 years, and my passion
for tall ships is surpassed only by my ignorance of them -- and here's
Paul's great article about dozens - nay, hundreds of tall ships -- plus
photos! He writes science fiction, too, and writer-info
articles... Just go see it. But be sure and have plenty of free time
when
you do.

Spontaneous
Things -- complete with a whimsical wandering string running
through
it (which completely charmed me for some reason, tho' it's not even
animated)
-- is Karina Sumner-Smith's wonderful writer's journal.
Sometimes
hilarious, sometimes achingly honest, always vivid and interesting, it
makes me glad I've got Karina as a cyber-friend.
...
My buddy Gene Stewart always has
pugnacious
things to say and unique, intriguing stories to tell. Go check
him out!
...
John
Trey.
Whoever he really is, he's a regular on the Speculations Rumor
Mill.
He's brilliant, fun, brave, clean, kind, and reverent. No, wait--that's
the Boy Scout Oath. Go see his
site for more on the stories he's written, and there's even a
picture--but
no last name!
...
James
Van Pelt
is a terrific science fiction writer AND teacher whose contributions
both
to the readers an the writers continue to mount up. You'll see his name
in the Tables of Contents in Asimov's SF, Analog, Magazine
of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and a slew of other great SF
magazines.
He's also given me permission to use some of the superlative materials
he's developed for his students as they learn to write SF (see my Light
Bulb Alley). Jim's own web page is here.
...
Alexander
Wilson
is a multi-talented kinda guy: he writes genre fiction and essays, and
he's a musician! I've written a little about his CD here.
His web site is cool and fascinating. Find out for yourself--go there:
