The Rio Hondo Writer's Workshop is an annual invitational workshop for professional writers,
one of those places like fabled Milford and storied Sycamore Hill, where a dozen or so writers
who already know what they're doing meet to sharpen their wits, and sometimes their tongues. Founded
1997 by Walter Jon Williams and Sage Walker, Rio Hondo is held in Taos, New Mexico, and has
established a reputation for the quality of the attendees' cooking, as well as that of their
writing.
The Infinite Matrix issued a challenge to each of the Rio Hondo writers to write, at the workshop, a
science fiction short-short. Most took up the challenge, while workshopping the stories they brought with them
and cooking fantastic meals.
Here are the results: ten stories from Walter Jon
Williams, Sally Gwylan, Michael Kandel, Daniel Abraham, Leslie What, John Kessel, Ellen Klages, Nina Kiriki Hoffman,
James Patrick Kelly, and Maureen McHugh. Plus a pyromaniac recipe for Bananas Foster. Enjoy!
