An already outdated column, designed to give the hastily organized 2007 Eastercon a boost; plus my “SFX Book Club” piece on The Stars My Destination.
Yes, it’s been a long time, and this first issue since 2005 is largely a letter column. Maybe now I can fudge up some more “Random Reading” mini-reviews for a new CC. Don’t hold your breath.
Now I’m off to the Eastercon in Chester. Normal service will be resumed, or not.
“The Trouble With Harry”. Er, yes, that Harry. Having written a whole book about young Scarface, I couldn’t resist this scrap of sordid self-promotion when the thing was finally published.
Just uploaded here. As noted in the previous post, I’m still grateful that — after all these slightly embarrassing years — readers continue to remember me and Ansible in the included Hugo nominations. Nevertheless, it’s good to see some fresh names in the fan writer shortlist.
