Jay Rothbell Sheckley

I received a nice note last night from Jay Rothbell Sheckley, a writer I mentioned in a post here recalling the good old days at the Long Goodbye, a writers' hangout that had great success in Portland in the 70s and 80s. Jay mentioned she was married to both John Shirley and the late Robert Sheckley at various stages of her life.

Something about those sci-fi writers...

Jay thought my recollection of Walt Curtis's antics at the club was spot on.

I remember Jay being a very funny and literate woman and can well understand why highly imaginative talents like Shirley and Sheckley found her fascinating. She lives in the S.F. bay area now and I believe she has a bookshop in Berkeley.

Jay, if you read this, thanks for the nice comments!
