Spend Author August with Science Fiction!

At the Science Fiction Message Board we are gearing up for one of the busiest times
of our year - our fourth annual Author August!

Each Author August we celebrate a different sf writer every day, with
reviews, reminiscences, cover scans, and general comments. This is a
post-a-thon open to
all who wish to contribute, anything you wish to post about the author
of the day, we want to have! And boy, have we got a strong roster of
authors past and
present for you this year:

8/1 Arthur C. Clarke
8/2 Vernor Vinge
8/3 Vonda McIntyre
8/4 Robert A. Heinlein
8/5 Roger Zelazny
8/6 Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
8/7 Lloyd Biggle Jr.
8/8 Elizabeth Bear
8/9 Elizabeth Moon
8/10 Edgar Rice Burroughs
8/11 H. Beam Piper
8/12 Keith Laumer
8/13 Joan D. Vinge
8/14 J.T. McIntosh
8/15 Katherine MacLean
8/16 Bruce Sterling
8/17 William Gibson
8/18 Pat Cadigan
8/19 Ursula K. Le Guin
8/20 Storm Constantine
8/21 Rosel George Brown
 8/22 Ray Bradbury
8/23 Caitlin Kiernan
 8/24 Tanith Lee
8/25 Peter F. Hamilton
8/26 Stanislaw Lem
8/27 Neil Gaiman
8/28 Zenna Henderson
 8/29 Michael Moorcock
8/30 Jules Verne
8/31 Iain M. Banks

So, while as usual you are welcome to drop in at any
time, browse around, and add your comments to any of our threads, we'd
be delighted if
you'd join us on as many days as you can during August to celebrate the
life and works of that particular day's author, from founding father of
sf
Jules Verne to master storyteller Edgar Rice Burroughs, SF grandmaster
Michael Moorcock to mistress of cyberpunk Pat Cadigan, plus a number of
comparatively
new names, unjustly neglected silver age stalwarts, and many more!

Join Us in the Author Central forum to post about the author of the day!

=====================================================
It's such a cloudy day
Seems we'll never see the sun,
and still the day has possibilities
With apoligies to Neal Peart


I can see myself tomorrow
a little further down the road
- Dave Cousins
"Further Down the Road"

good friends help you move books!


Rusted and ropy. Dog-eared old copy.
Vintage and classic, or just plain Jurassic:
all words to describe me.
- Ian Anderson "The Dog-ear Years"
