HEIDI RUBY MILLER

VIDEOS I interviewed award-winning author Fred Adams, Jr. , about New Pulp for my YouTube series Three Great Things About. Fred will be presenting at the Uniontown Public Library tonight, Monday, October 23, 2017 from 6-8 PM as part of the UPL 2017 Author Series.

INTERVIEWS I share My Favorite Things with Shara White over at Speculative Chic . Do we have any in common? "Growing up I just assumed all my friends, whether male or female, liked what I liked. It’s a conceit of youth that I admit still surfaces in me today. Back then, I figured everyone had watched MacGyver and later X-Files , that they designed lasers and read G.I. Joe comics. (You know, the usual.) Imagine my surprise when one of my best girlfriends said, 'I don’t really like that sci-fi stuff.' I took her statement as anyone would — riotous laughter then sobering shock. I mean, who wouldn’t want to read my collection of Robotech books or stay up late to watch Battlestar Galactica (the original one where Muffit was a supporting character), or take a bunch of extra computer classes during the summer?"

PODCASTS Thank you to Art Sippo for recording my readings at Pulpfest/Farmercon 2017 on his wonderful podcast Art's Reviews . I read short excerpts, which included complementary chapters from Greenshift and Starrie , which I have always wanted to do because this particular bad guy from Greenshift doesn't get his comeuppance until Starrie . And, of course, I read from Man of War in honor of its launch that weekend. Enjoy!

Last week we lost Puddahs, and I'm still trying to deal with the heartbreak. Some of you knew her from visiting our little home, some of you knew her from Instagram, Twitter, and this blog. She was sweet and never judging. Always consoling, always the presence that Jason and I needed when life was tough. We named her Francesca after Frances Mayes because I watched Under the Tuscan Sun constantly when we first got her. The movie and Francesca were a type of therapy for me because I had been assaulted in the classroom where I taught and never returned to the profession after that day. There were many dark days to come as I healed, and Puddahs was right there. Then last year when the migraines debilitated me, she was also there, comforting, just being. (I miss you, Puddahs.) Jason and I still feel her in the house, but the emptiness is slowly creeping in. Thank you to my mum for staying at her side during those last days as we rushed home from Lisbon to say good-bye. I belie...

COVER REVEALS ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT TO PRE-ORDER a signed, limited edition of this beautiful hard cover (BY ARTIST MARK WHEATLEY) of Man of War, my new book from Meteor House. It is a sequel to Philip José Farmer's Two Hawks from Earth. Foreword by Christopher Paul Carey.

VIDEOS This is a transfer of a Windows Movie Maker project Jason did back in 2014. It was our second trip to Paris. Some of the quality is old school, but that's part of what we like about it. You can check out our other lifestyle and travel videos on our YouTube channel SMALL SPACE BIG LIFE .

INTERVIEWS I was chatting with Tee Morris and Philippa Ballentine on The Shared Desk podcast during the 2017 SFWA Nebula Awards Conference . Here's a partial from the transcript: We get a visit from Heidi Ruby Miller who is rocking this cool retro sci-fi pattern… And just like that Heidi’s on the podcast. Yes, there is a ball app and Tee travels with one. Heidi has snuck away from the Pennwriters Conference to hang with science fiction authors. What was Heidi up to at the Pennwriters Conference ?
