Weightless Books

March was a hard month as we helped distribute the New York Review of Science Fiction’s free special issue that memorialized David G. Hartwell with “memories, conversations, appreciations, poetry, arguments, and outpourings from friends, family, fellow travelers, clients, coworkers, and others whose lives David touched.”

And science fiction — and radical politics — lost another strong proponent in February, Jef Smith, who I first met at WisCon more years ago than I can remember. PM Press, who he used to table for at conventions, has a memorial by Berianne Bramman and there is a GoFundMe for his partner.

Maybe it was the weird warm (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) weather but March was an odd month here at Weightless: nothing quite took off, instead everything rose up a little and overall everyone did very well. Which is all thanks to you, readers, who choose to buy your DRM-free ebooks here, thank you. Please do keep spreading the word, it is much appreciated!

It is snowing now in Massachusetts, because of course snow happens in April instead of in February, bah!, but the driveway is shoveled and maybe I won’t have to do it again. After this I’m going to finish the Robert Jackson Bennett novel I’m reading (City of Blades) and maybe catch up on the new issue of Locus.
