Another chat with a fellow reader! Rosemary Claire Smith combines her love of reading with her craft of writing in her review column for Analog. Join us as we talk about Ray Bradbury, mythology and folktale, what it means to read stories at different times in our lives and, of course, her favorite dinosaur!

About Rosemary Claire Smith

Rosemary Claire Smith is a two-time AnLab Award-nominated author who writes science fiction, fantasy, horror and RPGs. Rosemary started out as an archaeologist and hasn’t yet given up on her dream of jumping back in time to the heyday of the dinosaurs. You can come along by playing her interactive adventure game, T-Rex Time Machine.  Somehow, her alternate histories, future romances, reworked mythologies, and essays have snuck onto the pages of Analog, Amazing Stories, Fantastic Stories, and other periodicals and anthologies. Starting in 2023, look for her book review columns in Analog. Find her on-line at rcwordsmith.com or @RCWordsmith on Twitter and Instagram to see what comes next.
