Are you up for lunch at a spot in Las Vegas once once dubbed \u201cthe best Thai restaurant in America\u201d by Gourmet<\/em> magazine? Then pull up a chair to the table at Lotus of Siam, where Mary Turzillo and I snuck away to during StokerCon for some great food—and great conversation. You can eavesdrop on the latter, but as for the former, the photos below will have to suffice.<\/p>\n

I had the great honor of publishing Mary’s story \u201cMars is No Place for Children\u201d when I was the editor of Science Fiction Age<\/em><\/a>, and then the additional honor of being Toastmaster at the Nebula Awards banquet the year she walked away with a trophy for that very story.<\/p>\n

We talked about whether there’s a Venn Diagram overlap between her horror and science fiction readership, how her Cajun Sushi Hamsters from Hell writers workshop got its name, why she won’t be self-publishing her unpublished novels, what Gene Wolfe taught her about revising her fiction, and much more.<\/p>\n
