Free Steven Gould/Laura Mixon reading in San Francisco this Saturday

Rina writes, "Join SF in SF as they begin their 8th year of presenting science fiction authors and films in the Bay Area, this Saturday, January 19th. Steven Gould, author of JUMPER, and the new sequel, IMPULSE, will be joined by his wife, Laura J. Mixon, author of ASTROPILOTS and the the Avatar's Dance trilogy. Each author will read a selection, followed by Q & A moderated by author Terry Bisson. Book signing and schmoozing in the lounge after; books for sale courtesy of Borderlands Books."

The SF in SF events are as good as they get, and Steve and Laura are two of the best writers and nicest people you could hope to meet. This is going to be GREAT. Plus, holysmokesasequeltoJUMPER!

And We’re Back: Steven Gould & Laura Mixon (Thanks, Rina!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Has either one written any books with mixed-case titles? Besides, of course “the the Avatar’s Dance Trilogy.”

I hope it is a sequel to the original, and not the movie tie-in book.

  It should be emphasized that the original already has a sequel, “Reflex”, which was getting pretty hard to find before the movie came out. While it most certainly did not involve “paladins”, it did start to get a little off towards the end, and I’m not sure how I feel about reading the continuation of some of the plot points there.
  
  Of course I’m going to pick this up eventually anyway, because it should also be emphasized that the original was quite nifty indeed and many stress that it is very much unlike the movie.
