Science fiction author Spider Robinson is well known for his Stardance series about the art of dancing in low gravity. Spider’s wife, Jeanne, is a dancer and they evolved the concept together.
Sadly, Jeanne Robinson has an aggressive form cancer. She will need chemo soon and, contrary to popular belief, Spider’s career as a science fiction author doesn’t lend itself to glamour and fame. Financially, they’re running on fumes and could use some help.
Boing Boing has more details as does Spider’s blog. If you can help, I know a bunch of sci-fi fans who’ll be very grateful along with the Robinson’s themselves.
Podcast
Spider Robinson has been doing a very interesting podcast for a couple of years now. He plays music and reads from his work and that of other authors he admires. He has always been very upfront about the fact that he and Jeanne are not doing well financially and appreciates any and all donations.
This obviously just makes it much much harder on them.
