What's new?

I'm in the home stretch of Lovecraft Unbound--setting the order, gathering up the last bios, and finishing the intro...Tomorrow I'm mailing out copies of the author contracts to my editor plus two reprints that I couldn't get electronic files of: the Michael Chabon and Joyce Carol Oates.

Made reservations for the Stoker Award weekend and Anticipation in Montreal via frequent flyer mileage--yayyyy... And bought my Stoker weekend ticket.

Picked up my taxes (owed some ugh) and will get some back (not enough to make up what I owe).

Attended the birthday party of a friend's lovely lady at a bar for a couple of hours then came home and found this lovely post by Matt Staggs summing up some recent happenings at
Enter the Octopus .

I remember watching episodes of The Naked City (hear my joints creak?).

That's a cute pic of you.

Last year I was planning on making the Stoker convention in L.A. this June, but it's not looking likely, now. Bummer.

Good luck with Lovecraft Unbound.

And yay to Matt for the photos.

I wish I had that many frequent flier miles. I'm saving mine for next year's Worldcon, since I need to get two round-trip business class tickets to Australia! Won't be able to do that until September, though, since as I recall, you can only work 11 months in advance.

Ooh, WorldCon! I really, really want to go to Anticipation. Trying to figure out how to make that work. :)
