Signal Boost: Jane C Hines

[jesse_the_k]

Jim Hines reliably posts interesting things to his blog; about science fiction, about social justice, about this that and the other.

Every once in a while, his posts make me cry.

Like this one:
http://jimhines.livejournal.com/593825.html

begin quote  In an alternate universe back in 1974, a girl named Jane C. Hines was born. Her family moved to Michigan when she was four years old. She grew up with a little brother, had a three-legged black lab named Silver (after Long John Silver), and wanted to be a teacher, a veterinarian, a psychologist, and ultimately an author.

Her first fantasy novel, Goblin Quest, came out in 2006 from DAW. She sold two more goblin books, then published a series about three kick-ass fairy tale princesses. She’s currently writing the third draft of a modern fantasy book called Libriomancer. She also maintains a moderately popular blog.

But while she and I have had parallel careers, the results haven’t matched up exactly quote ends

Jim then details the death of a thousand sexist cuts that Jane Hines must cope with, while Jim Hines skates free.

I clicked through to Seanan McGuire's post that Jim links in his post and now I am just having RAGE EVERYWHERE. Jim Hines is a cool guy, though, and his is a good post, I'm glad you linked it...

ZOMG! The death threats! The stalking! Life suddenly seems even more fragile.

It's heartening to see a man with that kind of awareness.
