Canadian marine biologist and science fiction writer Peter Watts received a suspended sentence in Michigan on Monday on charges stemming from a December incident where he failed to comply quickly enough with commands of border guards conducting a search of his vehicle.

Read Peter's take, read fellow writer and Toronto journalist David Nickle, and please take a few minutes for sf writer Madeline Ashby's post at Tor.com.

I have been workshopping with Peter for years, and I am relieved beyond words at this outcome. As Ashby has it, "Sometimes, we win."
