In fact, it went well enough for Jo to take time out of her busy schedule a few months later to answer some questions for me . . . The panel went well-all I had to do was get out of the way of Jo and the other participants. It was therefore a real treat, though a bit unnerving, to moderate her on a panel about the Retro Hugos at the most recent Worldcon.
After that I regularly sought out her fiction, and Jo’s fiery Tor.com posts quickly became an addiction. Dragons by way of Anthony Trollope? I was hooked. I first learned of Jo Walton’s work when I heard about Tooth and Claw. She plans to live to be ninety-nine and write a book every year. She writes science fiction and fantasy, reads a lot, talks about books, and eats great food. She comes from Wales but lives in Montreal where the food and books are much better. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 2002, the World Fantasy Award in 2004 for Tooth and Claw, and the Hugo and Nebula awards in 2012 for Among Others. Jo Walton has published ten novels, three poetry collections and an essay collection, with another two novels due out in 2015.
