| Robin's fiction output has slowed lately, in part because of his volunteer
work, and in park because of his nonfiction writing. Robin is presently
a member of the advisory board of the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of
Fame in Seattle.
Robin is also a talented performer, singing and playing guitar at various
charity benefits, and serving as MC at conventions. A tape of his performance
of NEVER TOO OLD TO DREAM is available from DAG productions at www.filk.com.
