“Nobody’s perfect, but Spider comes pretty damned close“ – Ben Bova
His short work has appeared in magazines around the planet, from Omni and Analog to Xhurnal Izobretatel i Rationalizator (Moscow), and in numerous anthologies. The Usenet newsgroup alt.callahans and its many internet offshoots, inspired by his Callahan’s Place series, for many years constituted one of the largest non-porn networks in cyberspace. In 2006, he became the only writer ever to collaborate on a novel with First GrandMaster of Science Fiction Robert A. Heinlein, posthumously completing Variable Star. That same year the Library of Congress invited him to Washington D.C. to be a guest of the First Lady at the White House for the National Book Festival. In 2008 he won the Robert A. Heinlein Award for Lifetime Excellence in Literature. His wife’s Jeanne film project Stardance is here looks like a must-see art project. Diehard Callahan fans can meet up in many esoteric places, such as Second Life or Callahans.org, but remember, All Time Travellers Strictly Cash!
