Cajun Sushi Hamsters

I am a member of the Cajun Sushi Hamsters, alternatively (and somewhat generically) known as the Cleveland SF Writer's Workshop. It is a somewhat anarchic collection of writers, mostly from the Cleveland area, with a serious (but not exclusive) interest in Science Fiction and Fantasy. We officially have 20 active members, and our monthly participation averages somewhere between 12 to 16 people. Most of us have fairly substantial publishing credits, and a couple of us have won fairly substantial awards:

Maureen McHugh won a Hugo for her story "Lincoln Train"
Geoff Landis has a Hugo for "A Walk in the Sun" and a Nebula for "Ripples in the Dirac Sea"

While most of the workshop is dedicated to short fiction, a few members have published novels:

Maureen McHugh has published China Mountain Zhang, and Half the Day is Night. (Order: Half the Day is Night)
Charles Oberndorf has published Sheltered Lives, Testing and Foragers (Order: Foragers)
S Andrew Swann (aka S. A. Swiniarski) has published seven novels, a list is here.

The Cleveland Free Times has published an article on us, "Cajun Sushi Hamsters From Hell."
