Chatting With Sherri welcomes WOTF Published Finalist writer; Rebecca Treasure!

Chatting With Sherri welcomes WOTF Published Finalist writer; Rebecca Treasure!
Rebecca grew up reading science fiction and fantasy in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. After grad school and two children, she began writing fiction. Rebecca has lived many places, including the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Tokyo, Japan. She currently resides in Texas Hill Country with her husband, where she juggles two children, two corgis, a violin studio, and writing. She only drops the children occasionally.
Rebecca discovered Writers of the Future shortly after she began writing fiction. She has entered every quarter since, making lifelong friends as a result. Rebecca’s short fiction has been published by or is forthcoming from WordFire Press, Air and Nothingness Press, Flame Tree Publishing, The Dread Machine, and others. She is an associate editor at Apex Book Company and Magazine.
“Tsuu, Tsuu, Kasva Suuremasse” came about, as many of Rebecca’s stories have, from a synthesis of ideas. Research for her sixth novel, a historical fantasy about Napoleonic magic users, combined with a fascination with the idea of animal magic and beloved memories of an “adopted” grandmother from her childhood. The real Emily lived in a cozy apartment across from Rebecca’s family and collected dolls.
Rebecca was a Published Finalist in the Writers of the Future contest with her story, "Tsuu, Tsuu, Kasva Suuremasse," and her story is published in L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 38.

Chatting With Sherri welcomes the host of ”The Lonely Palette,” Tamar Avishai!

Chatting With Sherri welcomes the host of "The Lonely Palette," Tamar Avishai!
When you hear the phrase “art history” you probably think dry.  Snooty.  Dusty.  A British accent on an audio guide waxing rhapsodic about the Ren-AYY-since over the strains of Vivaldi.  An intellectual velvet rope. You might never think about the human beings behind the artworks.  About the centuries of soulful human experience they depict.  About how artists lived through their moments, just as you live through yours.  About all the incredible stories there are to tell. 
And that’s where The Lonely Palette comes in.  In each episode, creator and host Tamar Avishai focuses on one object – a painting, a sculpture, an installation, a very special urinal – and tells its story.  We explore the artwork, the movement, the social context, and more importantly, why art matters, not just to its own time, but to ours. 
“Many find fine art intimidating, and so this show, by Boston’s own Tamar Avishai, is a lovely, accessible tour."

Our Dried Voices-In 2153, cancer was cured. In 2189, AIDS. And in 2235, the last members of the human race traveled to a far distant planet called Pearl to begin the next chapter of humanity. That novel was published in 2014 and was a finalist for Foreword Reviews’ INDIES Science Fiction Book of the Year Award.
The Friar's Lantern-An eccentric scientist tells you he can read your mind and offers to prove it in a high-stakes wager. A respected college professor exacts impassioned, heat-of-the-moment revenge on his wife’s killer—a week after her death—and you’re on the jury. Take a Turing test with a twist, discover how your future choices might influence the past, and try your luck at Three Card Monte. And while you weigh chance, superstition, destiny, intuition and logic in making your decisions, ask yourself: are you responsible for your actions at all? Choose wisely—if you can. 
Greg Hickey was born in Evanston, Illinois in 1985. After graduating from Pomona College in 2008, he played and coached baseball in Sweden and South Africa. He is now a forensic scientist, endurance athlete and award-winning writer. He lives in Chicago with his wife, Lindsay.
