MABFAN NEWSLETTER # 44 (January 2005)

Michael A. Burstein's "Friends Across the Net" Newsletter

YEAR 2004 ROUNDUP

In 2004 I published two stories:

UPCOMING APPEARANCES

Nomi and I will be at two upcoming conventions:

We also plan to be at Readercon in early July.

INTERVIEW IN REFLECTION'S EDGE

I am pleased to announce that the new science fiction and fantasy webzine Reflection's Edge is featuring an interview with me as the lead for the second issue. The issue is at http://www.reflectionsedge.com, or you can go directly to the interview at http://www.reflectionsedge.com/imab_sd.html. As the blurb reads: "Six-time Hugo Award nominee Michael A. Burstein gives an exclusive RE interview and discusses his writing style, his Jewish perspective on science fiction, and why he should always listen to his wife."

AWARDS INFO: ANLAB AND HUGO

As the new calendar year begins, so does the science fiction awards process. I'd like to take a moment to remind all my regular readers of two awards that you can have a voice in deciding.

Needless to say (but I say it every year), I have a vested interest in readers of mine participating in these two ballots. However, even if you're not planning to vote for any of my stories, I still encourage you to check it out. The more people who vote, the more meaningful the results.
