MEET A MAN WHO LIVES IN THE FUTURE BUT MOONLIGHTS IN THE REAL WORLD
The Accessible World News Wire
Science Fiction Writer Steve Carper To Be Guest of the Accessible World On
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Have you ever wondered why the science fiction genre is so popular and
sometimes thought of as addictive?
Can you imagine what it is like to live in the future while at the same time
moonlighting in the real world?
Answers to these and many more questions will be provided by published
writer Steve Carper who has been around the Scifi world for about forty
years as a fan, an academic, a reviewer and critic, and a short story writer
whose works have appeared in magazines from the original Galaxy to today's
Asimov's. In June 2008 his work of fiction "Tyrannosaur Faire" was published
by Farstream Books. It is available for direct purchase at
www.tyrannosaurfaire.com or from Amazon and Bookshare.
In addition to writing, Mr. Carper is business manager for SFWA's magazine,
the Bulletin, writes a column, Writers' Bloc, and currently serves as the
chair of SFWA's Writers' Organization Liaison Committee.
Don't miss this opportunity to meet our outstanding guest, ask questions and
learn what it is like to have your life inextricably intertwined with
Science fiction and writing on a daily basis for so many years.
