Worldcon, here I come

Published by Alastair under Uncategorized

I’m frantically packing and otherwise getting ready to leave for Renovation, the 69th annual WorldCon in Reno. I’m behind schedule in just about everything else because of a whole bunch of other crap stuff going on in my life, but this weekend is for forgetting all that, meeting old friends, new friends, fans, fellow writers, editors, and generally having a good time. I fly out right after work tomorrow, and I’m taking the train (the California Zephyr) back — I haven’t taken a good long train ride in years.

I hope to see those of you who are attending, stop me and say ‘hi’. I’ll likely be wearing an aloha shirt, and my hair’s a lot shorter than Ed Bryant’s. ;-)

    The Chara Talisman, the first full novel of T-Space, is now available in e-book and trade paperback from Amazon and some of the other usual places, with more coming. What if Indiana Jones had had a starship?

     

    The October 2011 issue of Analog features both my story "The Sock Problem" as the Probability Zero piece, and Brad Torgersen's "The Bullfrog Radio Astronomy Project". When Brad and I first met at one of Kris'n'Dean's workshops a couple of years ago (we'd met online prior), we joked about both being in the same issue of Analog one day. Two years later, here we are!
