Sounds like he's one of those authors whose work isn't science fiction
because they say it isn't, because everyone knows what dreck that sci-fi
stuff is. I'll pass on this opportunity.

Subject: [WSFA] Homer Hickam book signing Tuesday

Homer Hickam, author of the autobiography _Rocket Boys_, which was
made into the movie _October Sky_, will be signing his latest book
at the Barnes & Noble in Georgetown on Tuesday evening.

He also wrote the fictional _Back to the Moon_, and a few other things.

See http://www.wsfa.org/calendar.htm for more information on this and
other upcoming events.

(Ever notice that "Rocket Boys" and "October Sky" are anagrams?)

I plan to chide him about his web page saying (about _Back to the Moon_):

  It is an adult scientific fiction thriller (not "science fiction" as
  everything is based on real science and fact) ...
