If you're wondering why Laura Weyr's brilliant, Rainbow-winning "The Eighth Key" isn't yet out on audiobook, it's because we're still working on the best platform to get it into your hands at the best price!

And also, our illustrator, Lorelei Esther is getting married next week...

Stay tuned!

Disappearing from SF after 1962, save for two stories published in 1975, many new works were posthumously published in 2017 in "The Clingerman Files". She also received the Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery Award in 2014 (and one of her tales is in our Rediscovery, Vol 3!)

Mildred Clingerman was one of the brighter lights of SF's Silver Age, producing 17 stories (mostly for F&SF) between 1952 and 1962. An avid book collector, she founded the Tucson Writer's Club and served on the board of the Tucson Press Club.

One of the students Buck probably knew (but didn't teach) at Ohio State was Harlan Ellison. Her final story, "Cacaophony in Pink and Ochre", was not released until 2024—in the Ellison-edited "The Last Dangerous Visions," 44 years after her death and 8 years after his!

Doris Pitkin Buck was one of the few who managed careers in both SF and academia: she taught English at Ohio State and also published short stories and poetry. Most of her work appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. She was a founding member of the SFWA.

#ScienceFiction did you know #52

After a brief SF short story career in the '60s as "Jane Beauclerk", M.J. Engh turned to novels, starting with the 1976 military/political SF book, "Arslan". Her 1993 book, "Rainbow Man", was a Tiptree/Otherwise long-lister.

Sadly, Engh died last year, on July 11.

Mare Jane Engh began her #ScienceFiction career as "Jane Beauclerk", earning a Nebula nom for her second F&SF story, "Lord Moon", in 1965. It (and the 1st) involves a world ruled by scholar/tyrant "Stars" and is told like a fairy tale legend.

In 1994, #ScienceFiction luminary Hilary Bailey turned to Sherlock Holmes pastiche, publishing "The Strange Adventures of Charlotte Holmes: Sister of the More Famous Sherlock" Born in 1936, she died in 2017, her last book published in 2013.

After Moorcock's New Worlds became the #ScienceFiction anthology series New Worlds Quarterly, Hilary Bailey started as co-editor (with Charles Platt) in 1974 and then became solo editor until the series stopped in 1976.

Notable works of UK #ScienceFiction author Hilary Bailey include "The Fall of Frenchy Steiner", taking place in a Nazi-occupied Britain; and "The Little Victims", sort of an English "X-Men" but much more downbeat and memorable.

Hilary Bailey co-wrote "The Black Corridor" in 1969 with her husband, Michael Moorcock. She later achieved mainstream success in the '80s with books like "All the Days of My Life", but she also wrote a spin on the original SF novel: 1995's "Frankenstein's Bride"

New Worlds, a staple of UK #ScienceFiction in the 50s and 60s, was mostly a stag party under Michael Moorcock's editorial reign. But there were a few woman—notably Hilary Bailey, one of the Silver Age's most compelling authors.
