In our latest episode on Jurassic Park (1993), David selected Last Night (1998) for our next episode (to be released on August 3rd). Here’s how you can watch it along with us:
Six by Six: A New Kind of Spec-Fic Anthology was a kickstarter conceived by a sextet of science fiction authors: Bradley Beaulieu, Brenda Cooper, Stephen Gaskell, Tina Connolly, Will McIntosh, and Martha Wells. The idea was to make an anthology of anthologies. Six authors, each with a short anthology of selected stories, six in number. Thirty-Six stories in total. Now that the kickstarter has completed and the rewards been given, the individual authors are making their anthologies available to the general public. Between Worlds: The Collected Ile-Rien and Cineth Stories is Martha Wells’ volume within Six by Six.

All but one of the Robogoblins will be at CONvergence this year in Minneapolis, MN! If you’re planning to attend, make sure you come to some of our panels, including the LIVE recording of The Skiffy and Fanty Show on Saturday. You should also make sure to follow us on Twitter in case we host any impromptu events (walk-by sessions, hangouts, etc.). Here are all of our official panels and events (all times are in EST; parentheses indicates who will officially be there or on the panel):
The Kingdom has a problem. A set of problems, really. An untested young prince from a family of long-lived warriors and sorcerers has to deal with magical beasts mucking about in the great Forest near the city. A rather large Dragon has appeared, threatening to cut off a road to a nearby world. A hitherto unknown sister has appeared on the scene. A cousin from an old and still grudge-holding realm has popped up, too, seeking to establish relations, personal and diplomatic. It’s a lot on the plate of the young prince, and his siblings, who are trying to manage the kingdom as best they can. No one has any idea where their father, the ruler, or their uncle, the sorcerer, is. Oh, and the secret to the family power is a magical primal node of power in the Castle basement. Roger Zelazny’s Amber you say? You’d be forgiven for thinking so, but the prince is Gwydion, the power source is a Spring, the Kingdom is Argylle, and the author is Elizabeth Willey.
