Welcome!
Marge Simon lives in Ocala, FL. She edits a column for
the
HWA Newsletter, "Blood & Spades: Poets of the Dark
Side," and serves on the HWA Board of Trustees.  She is
the second woman to be acknowledged by the SF & F
Poetry Association with a Grand Master Award.

She has won three Bram Stoker Awards, Rhysling
Awards for Best Long and Best Short Poetry, the Elgin
Award for Poetry Collection, the Dwarf Stars Award,
and
Strange Horizons Readers’ Award. Marge’s poems
and stories have appeared in
Asimov's SF, Silver Blade,

and in the
anthologies,
You, Human, Chiral Mad, and The Beauty of
Death
, to name a few. She attends the ICFA annually as
a guest poet/writer, and is on the board of the
Speculative Literary Foundation.

On a personal note, she has a daughter, Melle Tillison
Broaderick, and two lovely granddaughters. She married
a long time friend and colleague, Bruce Boston, in 2001.
Besides being a fantastic conversationalist and the love
of her life, he has taught her a great deal about writing
top notch poetry and fiction, for which she is grateful.

In addition to her solo work, she has written
collaborative poetry and fiction with Bruce Boston,
Charlee Jacob, Mary Turzillo, Alessandro Manzetti and
