Oh, sure, fans and first readers motivate me, too. "Where's my sequel?" asks one of my favorite fans, nearly every day, and that often motivates me to push forward.

I wanted to read "It Might be Sunlight" and "Blades" but they're not readily available. Any suggestions on where I might find them. I do prefer eBooks these days. Are they perhaps included in anthologies, if not as stand-alones? Thanks.

Sonia Orin Lyris Delighted that you'd like to read these stories. Thanks for asking.

"Blades" was the Willamette Writers Conference Kay Snow First Place Winner in 1992.…moreDelighted that you'd like to read these stories. Thanks for asking.

"Blades" was the Willamette Writers Conference Kay Snow First Place Winner in 1992. It is available online, for FREE, at smashwords. Here's the link: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view....

"It Might be Sunlight" was first published in Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, in 1993. Readers have been contacting me for twenty years, asking for a reprint, telling me it's their favorite short story. They lent it or lost it, and they want another copy. I admit it's one of my favorites, too.

It is available from Amazon or Createspace, but in hard-copy only, for reasons I'll explain to you in private correspondence, if you're interested. Just drop me a note.

Here are those links:

The R⌀ and Why it Matters

What is the coronavirus R0? And how does it help guide as as to what happens next, and where the pandemic is going? On your block, neighborhood, city--and world?

Simply put, R0 is how many people one infected person can infect on average.

But it is a changing and context-dependent number, not a constant.

It's important to understand what it is, and what it is not.
