Conventions
What would seduce you to attend CapriCon?
Last CapriCon thoughts (and NEXT CapriCon thoughts). So, is it a good idea to go to a convention four days after a break-up? Maybe not for everyone, but it worked well for me. A few people knew what had happened and offered sympathy, but most didn’t, and that was actually kind of nice, because I

I have got to figure out a good way to swim more
The Sheraton Grand has a really nice pool. Warm water, sauna — no hot tub, alas. Good workout area too, with lovely views of the river, though I just swam instead. I think for CapriCon next year, I’ll try to swim every day there, and maybe enjoy the sauna. I only managed a 20-minute swim

All meetings should come with delicious food
Bits of CapriCon: some of my books at the Larry Smith table in the dealer’s room (they only have one copy left of The Stars Change, Perennial, and Tornado, and I think they’ve sold out of my cookbook, sorry!) view from my window; I decided to get a room for tonight, a combo of relatively

Little bits of CapriCon
Little bits of CapriCon — after my two panels yesterday afternoon, Cecilia Tan and I ordered takeout to her room and we had a nice two hour catch-up before her panel. Lots of personal talk, lots of professional talk. In some ways, there’s a lot of overlap between her writing career and mine, so it’s

No, I do not have enough starry stuff
Do you think I have ENOUGH starry stuff yet to take to SF conventions? No, no I do not, because this is a masked convention, and I only have a dark blue mask, not a starry mask. ALAS! That will be remedied. Otherwise, I think I’m pretty good. I forgot my constellation travel mug at

A few last banquet shots
I think my favorite here is the one of Liza Groen Trombi (editor-in-chief for Locus Magazine) who had come here straight from WorldCon in Chengdu, and must have been so exhausted, but moments post-ceremony was already back to working hard again. Aspiring SF/F writers, subscribe to Locus! You’ll learn so much.

Another writer who just glowed was Claire Suzanne Elizabeth Cooney-
–who won best novel for Saint Death’s Daughter (which I haven’t yet read, but obviously have to). She gave a lovely and clearly very heartfelt speech, which you can read here. Also pictured, Priya Sharma, for her novella “Pomegranates,” which I also haven’t read, but plan to. (It appears it’s only available in hardcover –

World Fantasy Awards
Presenters, acceptors, and winners! Two pics of Tananarive Due because she was just glowing and I couldn’t pick one. I wrote an academic bio-bibliography entry for her many years ago (in Richard Bleiler‘s Supernatural Fiction Writers: Contemporary Fantasy and Horror) when she wasn’t so widely known outside horror circles – her career has been blowing
