From Locus Magazine:
Memorial Day Reading by Connie Willis!
It was a slow weekend, and we are only at $38k right now. If you have a platform where you can shout about supporting Locus, we’d greatly appreciate it! Your voice is our best advertising!
Our Memorial Day Monday The Storytellers reading is from Connie Willis, reading A Spanner in the Works!
A Spanner in the Works is part of Willis’ Oxford Time Travel Series encompassing six titles, the first of which was published in 1982. The series has garnered Hugo, Nebula, and SF Chronicle awards as well as many Locus Award nominations. You can see more of her work at http://conniewillis.net
CONSTANCE ELAINE TRIMMER WILLIS was born December 31, 1945 in Denver CO and has lived in Colorado most of her life. She earned a BA in English and elementary education from the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, in 1967, and taught elementary and junior high school from 1967-81. She made her first SF sale to Worlds of Fantasy with “The Secret of Santa Titicaca” (1971), and earned her first Hugo Award nomination for “Daisy in the Sun” (1979). In 1982, she received a National Endowment for the Arts grant, which enabled her to write full time. That year, Hugo- and Nebula Award-winning novelette “Fire Watch” and Nebula Award-winning story “A Letter from the Clearys” appeared, the first of her many winners, which so far include 11 Hugos, seven Nebula Awards, and a dozen Locus Awards.
