A fun first for me! Delighted to have a story featured on the sci-fi podcast StarShipSofa. "Strangers When We Meet" is queer cyberpunk noir, if you happen to like that kind of thing.
The title is a Bowie nod. He in turn was referencing an earlier movie when he used it for a song title on his album Outside, and I liked the idea of continuing the chain.

An audio reprint of Beta Child, which first appeared in The Colored Lens, on the awesome Starship Sofa podcast. It’s always lovely to hear my work out loud, so long as someone other than me is reading it :D.

#1yrago RIP Kate Wilhelm, science fiction great and co-founder of the Clarion Workshop
Kate Wilhelm, author of many of science fiction's seminal books and stories (e.g. Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang), would have been a titan in the field if she had only written; but Wilhelm's prodigious authorly accomplishments are matched by her influence on the generations of writers trained in the Clarion Workshops, which she co-founded with Robin Scott Wilson and her husband Damon Knight.
Kate was the sole surviving member of that original trio, and this week she died, at the age of 89.
Wilhelm was one of my instructors in 1992, and remained a friend and mentor; at her urging I joined the board of the nonprofit Clarion Foundation and have returned to the workshop several times to teach, striving to uphold the standards she set in her many decades of service to the field and its practicioners.
Kate was reportedly lucid until the end, and died in the midst of her loved ones. She is already sorely missed.
If you want to learn more about Kate, try this 2012 Starshipsofa podcast where she appeared alongside Ray Bradbury; and read her memoir, Storyteller, which tells the history of the Clarion Workshop as well.
Her son, Richard Wilhelm, suggests that we read Gordon van Gelder's 2001 appreciation of Kate's life and accomplishments. I'll quote from it below:
