And a very nice piece it is, too. You can read it here (as reprinted in The Ottawa Citizen). (The Edmonton Journal is the major daily newspaper in the capital city of the province of Alberta.) The Robert J. Sawyer Web Site
The event at White Dwarf was packed, and I believe they sold out of Wake hardcovers. And, amazingly, some old friends from public school back in Toronto showed up. Cool!

Today I gave a talk on writing, attended talks by Chase Masterson (above) and Lawrence Montaigne (below, with me and Carolyn), watched Chase’s excellent new movie Yesterday was a Lie, and had a wonderful three-hour Chinese […]

I took a little time for sight-seeing in San Francisco, accompanied by my dear friend Kaye Mason, Ph.D., who works at EA. We had private behind-the-scenes tours at the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Museum of Vision, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and the Googleplex — I love my job! I’ve now arrived in Las Vegas […]

Before my reading, I met a fellow named Sean, who seemed intrigued by my books. He bought a mass-market paperback of Calculating God — used! […]
