The sixth issue of Electric Velocipede, containing my short story "Why I Think I'll Be Staying Home Tonight," is now out and available. This fine little zine contains a wealth of good fiction and poetry, so when you order your copy consider getting a subscription as well. Tell 'em Bilmo sent you!

Last night Bill delivered the keynote address at the awards ceremony for the New York City Region of the Scholastic Writing Awards of 2004, held at Long Island City High School in Queens. The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are now in their 81st year. Bill has served as a national juror in the SF/fantasy category of the awards competition for the past two years. His remarks at the regional ceremony are available here.
