I just got back from my book tour--sort of. I still have a signing in Texas on Friday and assorted local signings. Thank you all for coming to my signings. It was great to see everybody! And especially thanks to everyone who showed up at Borderlands in San Francisco, where the weather was absolutely wretched. And in Seattle, where you had to miss the first part of the Superbowl. Or the Superbowl ads. Which ad was your favorite? I loved the Paris Google ad and hated the married guy/Dodge one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, everywhere I went, people asked me the same two questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. How did you get interested in time travel?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Did you have to do a lot of research for BLACKOUT?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of people also said they wished I'd listed the books I'd used to research the novel at the end of the book. Novels don't ordinarily have bibliographies, but I promised I'd list some of my favorite research books on this site as soon as I've looked up all the titles and authors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, I'll answer the second question: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get interested in time travel?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's actually kind of hard to answer. The first time travel novel I ever read was Robert A. Heinlein's THE DOOR INTO SUMMER. It's a great book--all about a guy who gets betrayed by his girlfriend and his best friend, so he decides to have himself cryogenically frozen so he can get as far away from them as possible. But when he wakes up in the future, he finds out...well, I don't want to spoil it. All I'll say is that the story involves his going back to the past again, and that there's a terrific little girl, Ricky, in the book, and a great cat named Pete, which were more than enough to get me hooked on time travel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I'm not sure that was my first intro to time travel. That may have been Robert Nathan's PORTRAIT OF JENNIE or an episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, like the one where the guy keeps telling his psychiatrist he's been to Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack. Or it might have been one of Jack Finney's stories, or C.L. Moore and Henry Kuttner's "Vintage Season," about decadent jet-setter-like time travelers who come back to our time from the future to see...well, I don't want to spoil that either. And I don't know which came first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I know is that as soon as I heard about time travel, I fell in love with the idea. I loved the possibility that we could go back to the past and change mistakes we made--which I am always wishing I could do--and that we could go see the St. Louis World's Fair or the Colossus of Rhodes or Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address. And that we could change history--shooting Hitler in Berlin in 1934 or knocking the gun out of John Wilkes Booth's hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I loved all the games writers played with the contradictions of time travel--the grandfather paradox and the "chicken and egg" paradox. (In case you don't know that one, it goes like this: You go back in time and tell Einstein the answer is E equals mc squared, and he "discovers" it, and it ends up in your science textbook, where you read it, and that's how you knew about it so you could tell him, but in that case where did it come from in the first place?) I loved reading stories where the authors explored all the possibilities of those paradoxes, from Heinlein's "All You Zombies" to Harry Harrison's "The Men Who Murdered Mohammed," especially Fredric Brown's "The Yehudi Principle," where the story's first and last lines form a continual time loop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But my favorite time travel stories were those that showed us how time travel could redeem us and/or break our hearts, like Bob Shaw's "The Light of Other Days" and Philip K. Dick's "A Little Something for Us Tempunauts."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can do so many things with time travel--go to the past (and future), change history, jumble up the pieces, mess with events and people in all sorts of fun ways, fix your mistakes, experiment with all the might-have-beens, cause never-thought-of consequences, and play mind-twisting games. Best of all, you can use time travel to illuminate the way time and memory affect--and trap--us. And to gain an understanding of history and time itself. It's no wonder I love it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Connie Willis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;==========================&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNIE WILLIS'S FAVORITE TIME TRAVEL STORIES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(AND MOVIES)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A Little Something for Us Tempunauts" by Philip K.

And I'm done, I'm done, I'm done!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, okay, I know I said I was done with the Blitz novel in the fall of 2008.  And last spring.  And this November.  And it's still not done.  I still have the copyedited manuscript and the galleys to do for the second volume, ALL CLEAR, and there are days when I think I'll never be done, that like Zeno's frog, I will just keep halving the distance to completion without ever getting there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I am sort of done, and the first volume, BLACKOUT, is coming out in February.  Honest.  I've seen the cover, the reviewers' copies have been sent out, and assorted booksignings have been set up.  (See schedule above.)  And, as my daughter so aptly put it, "If you're hit by a bus now, you don't have to worry about some hack finishing your novel."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I must be done because I A) am sleeping much better; B) am several inches taller, due to that giant albatross no longer hanging around my neck; and C) my family says I have been much nicer lately.  I have also been beginning to think about other projects.  Every time I've had a glimmer of a story idea over the last few years, I've had to firmly squelch it because I had no time to work on anything else, but now I can actually write other stuff, and the ideas have begun bubbling up.  There's a story I've been wanting to write about a robot who wants to be a Rockette, and one about Satchel Paige, who was the greatest baseball pitcher who ever lived, but who never got to play in the Majors till he was past his prime.  And I can't wait to get started on my Roswell--Area 51--alien-abduction--romantic comedy novel, tentatively titled The Road to Roswell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But first I need to dig out from the mess I made while writing the novel, answer six years' worth of e-mails, send out my Christmas letter (I know it's already January!), catch up on six years' worth of laundry, and find out what Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin have been up to.  (Surely they've gotten over their initial dislike of President Obama by now.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also plan to catch up on my reading.  I just finished The Chimes, one of Charles Dickens' Christmas novels, and it was terrific.  It was also clearly the prototype of It's a Wonderful Life, right down to the suicide attempt, which I did not know.  Right now I'm reading Screwball (about the great movie comedies of the thirties) and can't wait to start UFOs and the Murder of Marilyn Monroe, which I got for Christmas, and which promises to tell me just how she was "murdered by U.S. government officials because she knew too much about the Roswell UFO coverup!"  Which I also did not know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing you--I hope--at one of my book tour stops and signings or at a convention soon.A belated Merry Christmas-Hanukkah-Solstice-Kwanzaa-Holiday Season, a Deliriously Happy New Year, and Good Reading!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Connie Willis, Jan 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347850802678728875-94755661347803902?l=conniewillis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conniewillis.blogspot.com/feeds/94755661347803902/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7347850802678728875&amp;postID=94755661347803902' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347850802678728875/posts/default/94755661347803902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347850802678728875/posts/default/94755661347803902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conniewillis.blogspot.com/2010/01/blackout-is-coming.html' title='Blackout is Coming'/><author><name>Mr.SFTV</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17556943392684421842</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yBd4LRB81pM/S1U0-VSie7I/AAAAAAAAAzI/Y0BaECxyGxY/s72-c/conw1wc09kylec.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347850802678728875.post-5237016268108977790</id><published>2010-01-03T21:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-03T21:28:09.739-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Studio 360'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='time travel'/><title type='text'>Studio 360 Podcast and Video now online</title><content type='html'>The Studio 360 web site added the &lt;a href="http://www.studio360.org/episodes/2010/01/01"&gt;Time Travel episode &lt;/a&gt;to their page on 1/01/10 including the full audio of the show as well as several video clips including &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFXQJmKIHWE&amp;amp;feature=channel"&gt;this one &lt;/a&gt;with Connie Willis and David Goldberg talking about time travel.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7347850802678728875-5237016268108977790?l=conniewillis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://conniewillis.blogspot.com/feeds/5237016268108977790/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7347850802678728875&amp;postID=5237016268108977790' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347850802678728875/posts/default/5237016268108977790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7347850802678728875/posts/default/5237016268108977790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://conniewillis.blogspot.com/2010/01/studio-360-podcast-and-video-now-online.html' title='Studio 360 Podcast and Video now online'/><author><name>Mr.SFTV</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17556943392684421842</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347850802678728875.post-2890039024394506093</id><published>2009-11-21T22:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-21T22:04:17.557-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dave Goldberg'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Connie Willis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NPR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Studio 360'/><title type='text'>Studio 360 Report on tor.com</title><content type='html'>Ellen Wright attended the &lt;a href="http://www.studio360.org/"&gt;Studio 360 &lt;/a&gt;taping and reports on &lt;a href="http://www.tor.com/"&gt;tor.com &lt;/a&gt;primarily about the time travel discussion with Connie Willis and science writer Dave Goldberg.

In this live show hosted by Kurt Andersen at WNYC's The Greene Space (taped for later broadcast), scientists and artists explain why time travel is more than an idle fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Astrophysicist David Goldberg (A User's Guide to the Universe) unravels the physics of time travel. Sci-fi writer Connie Willis tells us what to do if your journey through time goes awry. Simon Wells, the great-grandson of H.G., shares his obsession with the classic The Time Machine. Musical sensation Janelle Monae performs her 28th-century funk. And Mike Daisey drops by to give us advice from the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studio 360's "Science &amp;amp; Creativity" explores the intersection of art and science.

Her group panel with other authors was packed and her solo spotlight panel was nearly full. At her spotlight panel, she indicated that &lt;em&gt;All Clear&lt;/em&gt; would be finished in the next month.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229600471502233618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_yBd4LRB81pM/SJNF69UbIBI/AAAAAAAAAeg/TpXYXn4-On0/s320/writingpast1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;Thursday was the Eye on the Past panel with a number of authors. From left to right in the picture are Maryelizabeth Hart (moderator from Mysterious Galaxy), Peter David, Naomi Novik, Connie Willis, Max Allan Collins (with a wall of books), Jess Winfield, and Jacqueline Carey. Each author talked about how their books are set in a specific time and what is involved with researching the time period. It appeared that a good number of the attendees in the panel room were there primarily for Naomi Novik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229602621192411026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_yBd4LRB81pM/SJNH4FigF5I/AAAAAAAAAeo/MorBNlj6MAQ/s320/writingpastauto1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;After the panel was a signing with all of the authors. As somewhat expected, most of the people in the autograph line had something for Naomi Novik, so those of us with books for the other authors got to skip ahead and take care of their books.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229603760566938898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_yBd4LRB81pM/SJNI6aCjrRI/AAAAAAAAAew/3AjiHFrdBow/s400/connie4trim.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;On Friday, Connie did her spotlight panel where she talked about All Clear and answered questions from the audience. This &lt;a href="http://kalquessa.livejournal.com/576808.html"&gt;livejournal post&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="http://kalquessa.livejournal.com/"&gt;kalquessa&lt;/a&gt; (after the Stargate panel review) summarizes Connie's panel well. Later in the day, she did a signing at the Bantam Spectra booth. &lt;a href="http://www.suvudu.com/"&gt;Suvudu.com&lt;/a&gt; (Bantam/Spectra's new online site) has a &lt;a href="http://www.suvudu.com/2008/07/connie-willis-signs-copies-of.html"&gt;video of Connie signing &lt;/a&gt;Passage. After the signing, Suvudu taped an interview of Connie with her editor, Anne Groell, that should turn up on the site sometime in the near future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_j_wWfyP9fU&amp;amp;hl=" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" fs="1" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday night, Connie watched her daughter, Cordelia, perform in the &lt;a href="http://comic-con.org/cci/cci_masq.shtml"&gt;Comic Con masquerade&lt;/a&gt;.

Here are the details as they stand now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thursday, July 24 5:00-6:00 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Looking at Our World: Eye on the Past&lt;/strong&gt; - Authors discuss how they use and abuse history to inform their fictional stories. Panelists include Connie Willis (Passage), Jacqueline Carey (Kushiel's Legacy), Max Allan Collins (Deadly Beloved), Peter David (Tigerheart), Naomi Novik (Victory of Eagles), and Jess Winfield (My Name Is Will: A Novel of Sex, Drugs, and Shakespeare). Moderated by Maryelizabeth Hart of Mysterious Galaxy. Room 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fr&lt;strong&gt;iday, July 25 12:30-1:30 Spotlight on Connie Willis&lt;/strong&gt; - Time travel, hula hoops, flying saucers, church choirs, and other proofs of Chaos Theory in action! Multiple Nebula and Hugo Award–winning science fiction author and Comic-Con special guest Connie Willis (&lt;em&gt;Doomsday Book&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;To Say Nothing of the Dog&lt;/em&gt;) reveals the outer reaches and inner secrets of writing science fiction. Room 10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that both of those rooms seat only around 280-300 people, which could easily fill up with fans. It may seem like a lot, but when there are around 125,000 attendees, the rooms can fill up quickly.
