As I mentioned in the last post, there have been a lot of interesting events happening in my family lately.
My son and daughter in law have been involved in publishing a book for the past year or so. They are very active in a group called R-SPEC, a group of writers, readers and thinkers in the Rochester NY area, that exists to celebrate and create speculative literature. Alicia is an author and David is one of the Editors and all round "go to guy" for the group. They meet monthly at Barnes and Noble in Pittsford, NY where the meetings are open to everyone.
On Saturday, July 31, they launched the book "2034: Writing Rochester's Future" at Mood Maker's Books in Village Gate on Goodman Street in Rochester, NY. The event was attended by many of the authors and lots of friends. Jack Garner, nationally known film critic, based in Rochester, wrote the introduction to the book and was on hand for the festivities.

The group is now soliciting authors for the new compilation called "Alternative Rochesters" and would welcome your submissions. All the information can be found on their website.
