![]() ![]() In the 13 ½ years we’ve lived in the house, Lynne built up the NIU Rare Books collection (including adding the archives of over 75 SFF authors and it becoming the official archives of SFWA ), co-wrote one academic book and co-edited another, co-edited five anthologies, presented on two popular podcasts (SF Squeecast and Verity!), and won five Hugo Awards and two Parsec Awards, along with receiving many nominations for other awards. ![]() The down payment came from money Lynne’s late mom left us-her last gift to our family. We fell in love with this charming Cape Cod during our first walkthrough. Lynne was starting her new gig as the Curator of Rare Books at Northern Illinois University. ![]() Our time with this house started in 2004. The Milford is a Sears Catalog House -a kit that came to DeKalb on a train and was pieced together in 1938. I’m writing this in the same chair I’ve written the previous 17 “ Uncanny Valleys.” It’s a squishy leather chair in the corner of the living room in our house, The Milford. ![]()
