Daniel M. Kimmel--Author, Critic, Lecturer

I have quite a week ahead. On Wednesday I’ll be delivering one of the Neilly lectures at the University of Rochester, a platform for authors to talk about their writing and their latest books. While I’m there I’ll also be speaking to a class on philosophy and science f...

I’ve just started working on my next book or, at least, what I hope will eventually become my next book. Why the uncertainty?  It’s because I’m experimenting with form. It’s not so much that I’m breaking new ground as that it’s new for me.

Sometime this spring I will be announcing the release of the audio book version of “Father of the Bride of Frankenstein,” my just released novel. After auditioning several people, I have made a deal with Ben Fife with whom I connected through ACX, Amazon’s marketplace...

For those who have looked forward to the Arisia science fiction convention in January in general and the “Movie Year in Review” panel I’ve been running for some 20 years in particular, I have some bad news. The people running Arisia have “disinvited” me. My crime? Well...

I am quite partisan and have very definite ideas as to whom you should be voting for in the midterms, but that’s not what this is about. This is about encouraging you – whatever your views or demographic – to vote in this election and, in fact, to vote in every electio...
