Sheesh, I can’t believe I was a dial-up hold out for so many years. Now, limping along without my DSL is extremely painful. It’s dial-up or isolation. Here’s hoping my high-speed replacement arrives soon.
I drove down to Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale today and heard a reading by S.M. Stirling. If you haven’t ready any of his work, he’s a history geek with a literary flavor to his prose, and a twisted sense of humor. Good stuff. I had four books signed, including his newest title, The Scourge of God. Of course, like any writer I have an in-pile of that’s three or four figures deep.
I didn’t manage to get a photo with Steve, nor did I get to talk much shop. This was apparently the last stop on his book tour and he had someplace to go, very probably the airport. Seemed like a decent enough guy, though.
’twas a radio interview, and we just barely made it. Would have liked to chat more!
Thanks for stopping by! Maybe we’ll get the chance to talk at Westercon?
Alas, not doing any more cons this year except World Fantasy. Deadlines…
I meant Westercon ’09 in Tempe.
