Actual footage of me trying to write anything this year: Like most of us, I struggled with producing new work this year, and as a result I only have one publication to remind you of in this year end post. (I actually had to google that it did come out this year, because it happened … Continue reading Eligibility Post 2020

2019 Eligibility Post
Hello, friends! It's the end of the year, which means it's time for lists of all sorts, including the compilation list of things published this year that are eligible for awards. I have 2 and a half (half because the expected publication date is this year, but it isn't technically out yet.) short stories eligible … Continue reading 2019 Eligibility Post
COVER REVEAL: Space Opera Libretti
It's time for another cover reveal! This one is for Space Opera Libretti, edited by Jennifer Lee Rossman and Brian McNett, an anthology of humorous science fiction set to music. Or about music. Or featuring music. However the contributing authors interpreted the call for submissions. I was stoked because I just happened to have the … Continue reading COVER REVEAL: Space Opera Libretti
Flash in the Pan: A “She” Companion Story
I've neglected this blog a little bit, but I think it will work out. I read H. Rider Haggard's She for my November Canon Blast post-- which you can find over on my Patreon for just $1/month-- and it was a hoot. And I mean that sarcastically, because I really did not like it at … Continue reading Flash in the Pan: A “She” Companion Story
Year in Books 2018
It's December 31, which means it's time to take stock of what I read this year and pick some favorites. TOP FIVE (in no particular order): Annihilation-- Jeff Vandermeer Go ahead and watch the movie, but it's nothing at all like the book. Annihilation is the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy, and I … Continue reading Year in Books 2018

Nebula Nominations are open--I'm not a SFWA member (yet!) so I can't nominate, but I will put together a post closer … Continue reading 2018 Eligibility Post
Okay, Next Crisis
"Okay, Next Crisis" is the companion flash fic for October's Canon Blast! post, which was about Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy. Just a reminder that Canon Blast! is now exclusively on Patreon, but I'll post the companion flash on here the month following its appearance on the other site. If you want to keep up with … Continue reading Okay, Next Crisis
October Round Up
It's Election Day! GO VOTE. GO VOTE. GO VOTE. But that also means that it's time for another episode of "What Lizz Did This Month." The biggest news is that I launched my Patreon page! Woo hoo! Go here for more info and maybe sign up to be a patron? Also, tell your friends? Some … Continue reading October Round Up
Mid October Round Up
Hey, guess what? It's time for another episode of "Here's What Lizz Did Last Month." I was doing these at the beginning of every month, but since I'm now doing the Canon Blast! at the end of every month (which becomes the beginning if you wait a few days to read it...) I decided to … Continue reading Mid October Round Up
Canon Blast! The Invisible Man- H. G. Wells
First some backstory: I really found Science Fiction in grad school. Prior to that, I'd read the odd book here and there that is classified as SF/F-- The Giver and A Wrinkle in Time in middle school, Frankenstein in high school and then again in college, Slaughterhouse Five in college-- but Science Fiction was never … Continue reading Canon Blast!
