Okay, folks, I guess this makes it official. The first box o' books from The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction just arrived. I have been invited to join their rotation of quarterly reviewers -- and my mission, if I choose to accept it, is to review lots and lots of science fiction.
Shsh!! Do you hear that mad cackling in the background? That's me, laughing all the way to my secret stash of vintage pocket protectors. What a scam this writing business is! First they pay me to write books I'd write for free anyway. Then they send me free copies of books I'd pay to read anyway.
Seriously though, I'm kind of excited about this reviewing gig. If nothing else, it gives me an official excuse for lying around reading bon bons and eating space opera. The mills of print publishing grind slow, so it'll be several months before any reviews actually appear in the magazine. But I'll link to them when they do. And of course we should all go out and subscribe to F&SF immediately -- not to read my bloviating but to support one of the last and best print venues for SF short stories.
