Over the years, she’s been hugely supportive of me and my work, something I deeply appreciate. I got to see her again at the Spokane Worldcon where she was guest of honor. Vonda and I were both website geeks and before long we were working together to develop a new online store for Book View Café.Įventually, I was very pleased to have the opportunity to meet Vonda in person, over a fine lunch at a shoreline restaurant in her native Seattle. She also won the 1998 Nebula Award with her novel The Moon and the Sun. Vonda’s 1978 novel, Dreamsnake, had won the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Pacific Northwest Booksellers award - at a time when successful young women writers of science fiction were far more rare than they are these days. It was such an honor getting to know this “big name” writer. She warmly welcomed me into the writers cooperative, Book View Café, which she had helped establish.
