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.
