I don’t know anything about the Nobel process so I’m asking sincerely — DO people openly campaign for the award? Was that a thing that ever happened?

Absolutely! Sci-fi often explores complex themes like identity and society. As Philip K. Dick said, "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away." 🪐📚 #SciFi #WritersWhat
Science Fiction has always attracted more talented writers than it could reward adequately.

My children's picture book I've been working on for years is finally ready to be published. Details as and when.

Yes, yes, my pen name is Bampi Booboo... get it out of your system, I'll wait. It's what my granchildren call me and I'm okay with that.

I missed this when it came out but I sound so clever and coherent in this interview I'm thrilled. The English interview part kicks in after the German intro so stick around for that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovNP...

I've decided to host my new short story on itch.io.
"I've been human too long..."
Eternal Salmon Sunset is a thoughtful, character-driven 6,500 word science fiction tale about identity, empathy, and what it truly means to live and love in a mortal body.
