Reviews:
- Carol Ryles@Writing Walking Whatever: Human v Inhuman II: “…The story feels very much like a tale told by a fireside… The prose is sometimes stark, sometimes lyrical and filled with images of startling clarity…”
- Val Grimm@ The Fix: Fantasy Magazine Online, January 2008: “…blurs together myth and history in his standout story, “Pahwakhe.” … Sellar’s skillful merging of European traders and visitors from Ghost Town makes this retribution as poignant and creepy as it is unjust… [and his] use of descriptive writing and visual imagery make his tale effective and haunting.”
Writing-Related Awards:
- The Susan C. Petrey Clarion Scholarship, 2006, granted in conjunction with the Clarion West Writing Workshop.
Notes:
- The Dänikbharata was to be an epic poem telling the story of the Hindu gods who turned out to be, as claimed by crackpot Erich von Däniken, ancient alien visitors to Earth. The epic was to tell the story of their fall through the history of humanity, followed by their eventual battle for a place on the Mother Ship when their alien comrades returned to pick up a select few. (With seating limited, a war among the pantheons breaks out, with the final battle being between the Norse and the Hindu pantheons.) The project may be recommenced someday, but for now, it’s on a backburner so far back I have to squint to see it at all, just as is my epic poem Taiping!, about the bloody Taiping Rebellion that took place in mid-nineteenth century China, and several other verse projects.

The Clarion West Write-a-Thon is On!
The Clarion West Writer's Workshop has been responsible for starting many people on the road to publication and careers in writing. It has been an unstinting supporter of creativity and of the next generation of writers for decades.
But it doesn't run itself. It takes time, energy, and even with volunteers, it takes money. The write-a-thon is one way to raise the funds that keep the workshop going.
