Author of the Month – Harlan Ellison

Harlan EllisonWe’re going to try something new this month at SFFaudio. On May 6, Harlan Ellison will be receiving the SFWA Grand Master award at the Nebula Award Banquet in Phoenix. Besides the multiple awards he’s received for his writing, he’s an Audie award-winning narrator who reads both his own material and material written by others, including stories by Ursula K. Le Guin and Ben Bova. He’s the host of the finest modern SF audio drama series 2000X. He’s even got a couple of live albums.

SFFaudio will focus on all this audio work as we name Harlan Ellison our first Author of the Month!

Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine February 2006 CoverI’m holding in my hands, right now, the February 2006 treeware issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine. It’s just so damn cool!

The Feb 2006 “On The Net” column by James Patrick Kelly (pages 13 to 16) are all about what we all love – ‘Science Fiction and Fantasy Audiobooks, Online Audio and Podcasting’! About the experience of audiobooks, what listening to them is like, what is available and where to find it all. JPK talks about the revolution that is Audible.com, then gushes over Escape Pod, Tell Tale Weekly and Seeing Ear Theater as well he mentions our own humble website, something he considers “the best audiobook resource on the web!!!*”

w00t! Seeing our names in Asimov’s is way-waycool. We are immortal now. Thanks JPK and thank you SFFaudio readers, 2006 is going to be our best year yet!

*exclamation points added by me, for effect.
