My last entry is a biography of author Clyde Irvine. I wrote it in response to a request from last year. I would like everyone to know that I am available to write about authors, artists, and other types of people, as well as on topics of interest to fans and readers of weird fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and so. I would ask that people not use my work or what I write on my blog as free content for their own projects. I don't do what I do so that others can benefit monetarily from it. I understand that, people being people, some will take what I write here for their own purposes, without permission, credit, attribution, or citation, needless to say without compensation paid to me. I would ask that the best of you show some respect and consideration. I'm not anyone's employee. What I write hasn't just fallen out of the sky. I created it.
Please contact me with requests. Although I write for free on this blog, I would seek compensation for any writing I do outside of it. That seems reasonable enough, even if those who seek content for free might be shocked, offended, or insulted by such a request.

My name is Tracy Irvine Cracraft. I stumbled upon this article on February 17, 2026. John Irvine was my grandfather - my own father was Clyde Irvine. My understanding is that his role in the army while in Canada was to teach soldiers jiu-jitsu.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not a request but I thought you'd like to know: I stumbled across a book "Sisters Of Tomorrow: The First Women Of Science Fiction," edited by Lisa Yaszek and Patrick Bishop. The book includes a nice piece on Dorothy McIlwraith and several of her short Eyrie columns. As well as bits on other editors and stories by C.L. Moore and others.
