I’m happy to announce that you can find a digitally avatar of my being roaming Draxtor’s Second Life Book Club on Wednesday, January 18, 12pm PDT/ 3pm EST. Actually, I’m told we will do less roaming and more sitting and chatting about books. Draxtor’s team specially crafted an avatar for me… I asked to be a cyborg. It’s been a really interesting experience going through the tech check, as it’s my first time using Second Life.
We will be discussing stories from Life Beyond Us, edited by Julie Nováková and presented by the European Astrobiology Institute. Julie will be there, as well as some of the other contributors. The anthology has a unique feature: it pairs each science fiction story with a science essay. The story that I will have published in the anthology is entitled “The Mirror Symphony.” The anthology will be out for purchase on Earth Day, April 2023!
Looking forward to meeting everyone through the virtual medium of Second Life!
