Personally, I thought it had the plot of a video game (“The door is locked! We need a key… look, over there! A key!”) and too many characters to keep track of, but I’ve heard from so many other people who enjoyed it that I’m going to consider mine the minority opinion. If you’re drawn to the tragic, Year of Wonders, by Geraldine Brooks, is set in an English village quarantined from the outside world during a plague outbreak and gave me the same sense of life under desperate circumstances. But if you want a sense of humor mixed in with your history and time travel, my money is on Kage Baker’s In the Garden of Iden: temporal meddling in the Tudor era.

Connie Willis Subterranean Press D. A. is an example of this. It was published in 2006 and is available as its own book. The story is on the short size for a standalone, 60 pages, but the sixty pages are collectively delightful. Theodora Baumgarten has just been selected as an IASA space cadet, and therein lies the problem. She didn't apply for the ultra-coveted posting, and doesn't relish spending years aboard the ship to which she's been assigned. But the plucky young heroine, in true Heinlein fashion, has no plans to go along with the program. Aided by her hacker best friend Kimkim, in a screwball comedy that has become Connie Wills' hallmark, Theodora will stop at nothing to uncover the conspiracy that has her shanghaied.

Dreams Into Lightning missing an opportunity to keep quiet Friday, September 01, 2006 Harlan Ellison - Connie Willis Incident Dora at Shrub.com reports an incident in which at the Hugo Awards ceremony at Worldcon, Harlan Ellison groped Connie Willis on stage. Patrick Nielsen Hayden was the primary source of the news: Harlan Ellison groping Connie Willis on stage at the Hugos wasn't funny and it wasn't okay. I understand (from third parties; I haven't spoken to her about it) that Connie Willis's position is that Ellison has done worse and she can handle him, but I really didn't want to watch it and neither, I think, did a lot of other people in the audience. Up to then the comedic schtick aspects of the Hugo presentation had been genuinely funny. After that, I think, many of us just wanted it all to stop. Just as with George W. Bush's now-famous uninvited shoulder-rub of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the basic message of Ellison's tit-grab is this: "Remember, you may think you have standing, status, and normal, everyday adult dignity, but we can take it back at any time. If you are female, you'll never be safe. You can be the political leader of the most powerful country in Europe. You can be the most honored female writer in modern science fiction. We can still demean you, if we feel like it, and at random intervals, just to keep you in line, we will." Dora goes on to make a few things clear First, let’s be clear about what I’m

68. Raven's Reviews: Connie Willis Reviews of the books of connie willis, with a general introduction to her work. http://members.fortunecity.com/arwen_e/ae/conniew.html

web hosting domain names photo sharing R The Doomsday Book (v,b) Introduction Willis is famous for her handful of intricate, thoroughly researched historical novels (sometimes classified as historical fantasy). Her style is easy to read, yet full of points and themes that one can overlook the first five times. From a plethora of strengths, her best may be her characters, if one counts the setting as a character. The people in her stories are never perfectly good or perfectly evil, but a realistic and familiar combination of the two. Her settings are immediate and natural, no matter how far in our own pasts (or futures) they lie. For her work, Willis has received numerous Hugo and Nebula awards. She has also edited several anthologies for the SFWA and others; her attention to detail certainly makes her a stronger editor than many. In general, if you want quality, you need look no further; Willis knows how to deliver. Historical Novels When I first picked up The Doomsday Book (on a rainy afternoon when I was ill), all I knew was that it might match my rotten mood, given that it was about the plague. I quickly discovered that's like saying Beethovan's Symphony is about peasants. Several hundred pages and half a box of kleenex later, I felt much better. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most beautiful, tragic, and thoroughly researched novels ever written in any genre. If I praised any one aspect of it, like the delightfully realized characters who are both stereotypes and real people at the same time, or the powerfully cathartic theme with its recurring reminder of "for whom the bell tolls", you might get the incorrect impression that some other part was less well done. Instead, I will tell you that
