She is a member of the Codex writers’ group, and is the newest member of Altered Fluid. In her other life, she is a doctor of Internal Medicine with a specialization in urban underserved populations, and is about to take a fellowship position in Palliative Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. She is currently doing research on sickle cell disease, writing a novel, and taking some classes towards an MBA degree. She lives with a neurotic calico named Spoon Avocado, which is her brother’s fault. Sometimes she juggles fire.

Nancy Hightower’s short fiction and poetry has been published in Strange Horizons, Word Riot, storySouth, Gargoyle, Electric Velocipede, Interfictions, Prick of the Spindle, and Up the Staircase Quarterly, among others.

The New York Review of Science Fiction Reading Series provides performances from some of the best writers in science fiction, fantasy, speculative fiction, etc. The series usually takes place the first Tuesday of every month, but maintains flexibility in time and space, so be sure to stay in touch through the mailing list, the Web, and Facebook.

After the event, please join us as we treat our readers for dinner and drinks nearby. (Venue to be determined as, alas, Milady’s has closed its doors after decades in Soho.)
