Walter Jon Williams began his writing career in the 80’s and he has been a very prolific writer eversince. His first SF novel was Ambassador of Preogress, followed by Hardwired, Aristoi, Metropolitan, City on Fire, The Rift and his Dread Empire’s Fall series. He won a Nebula for “Daddy’s World” and “The Green Leopard Plague.” His short fiction is colected in Facets and Frankenstein’s and Foreign Devils. His most recent novel is Implied Spaces which the clonepod team can’t wait to read.
This coming of age story is PG because it is a coming of age story where not every child gets to become an adult. Younger children may be frightened, but parents should decide for themselves.
It’s your understanding and wisdom that makes me want to talk to you, Doctor Sam. About how Fritz met the Blue Lady, and what happened with Janis, and why her mother decided to kill her, and what became of all that. I need to get it sorted out, and for that I need a real friend. Which is you.
Janis is always making fun of me because I talk to an imaginary person. She makes even more fun of me because my imaginary friend is an English guy who died hundreds of years ago.

Wow! Fantastic! This story was VERY engaging and a box of kudos bars to everyone for getting it. The reading and production quality were great, but above that, this story was just plain good. It had a future element that made perfect sense and really took a good look at people in that situation.
Clonepod just gained a few notches on the goodness stick.
