BTW, I have some good non-SQL news. I've been hired as Publication Coordinator for Musa Publishing's spec-fic imprint, Urania.

Anyone know a science fiction / fantasy author who has any out of print novels that they'd like to reprint?

Gail, got any completed science fiction / fantasy novels in your dresser drawer?

No, nothing at the moment.

But you have a vaca coming up, so just turn one out then.

Because every writer knows you can turn out a novel in 3 days. @=)

...Though, I actually do know writers who can do that, and have to do that... Of course, they write full time.

Anyway, Gail, if you do happen to finish one, ping me or something.

No way! I'm going on vacation tomorrow too. I'm not doing any writing. I just thought you should.

Of course you're going to WorldCon the year that I can't go. <headdesk>. It would have been great to run into you.

No, you go and have fun. I need to be shilling for the company myself, not making other people do my work for me. @=)

Anyone going to be at the Baltimore Book Festival, per chance?

I go to Worldcon just about every year. We've convinced my finacee's parents that it is better getting together for than than for XMas. Better time of year, travel to new places, etc...

We didn't go to Australia because it was too far/expensive.

We didn't go to Reno partly because of the ridiculous fan politics involved and partly because it was in Reno (Bleh!). What's next, Camden? When people ask why I don't want to go to Reno, I tell them it is because I don't need a divorce in the 1950s.

But we should be at next year's too!
