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.
