On             April 26, ten of us gathered at Cafe Serranos to honor             Ms. Moon and her work. She told us that she considers             <strong>Remnant Population<\/strong> to be &#8220;the most Texan SF             novel&#8221; she&#8217;s written. The main character was based on             people she knew while growing up in South Texas. To             make sure that her depiction of the elderly was             correct, she read several fiction and nonfiction books             about the subject, and she hired a &#8220;70+&#8221; writing             teacher to help edit the manuscript. We learned about             Moon&#8217;s &#8220;3 Step Revision Process.&#8221; She shared some of             her experiences collaborating with Anne McCaffrey,             which she found &#8220;a valuable learning opportunity.&#8221; Ms.             Moon was a gracious and entertaining dinner guest, and             we&#8217;re glad she found time to share with us.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211;A.
