I took this photo myself. What do you suppose the landscapers were trying to say with it? Thoughts? Donna?

Fellow mystery writers; there is only one question to answer:

The Illusionist, or The Prestige?

I'll give you my vote after I hear yours.

Well I have to say Norewescon was a disappointment. I met up with Kat Richardson and janna Silverstein so that was good, but beyond that the partying was mediocre at best and there were precious few opportunities for professional contacts. It kind of seemed like an overgrown junior high school party. Next year I think I will go only if my book is out.

Well friends, I will be off to Norwescon 30 in Seattle this weekend... For those of you who don't know this is the premier SF/F convention in the Northwest... A few of us will be there... likely Brian Thornton among others. It should be fun trying to take surruptitious photos of 300 pound Klingons in thongs! I'll be sure and post those.

I've never received an apology for a rejection before. I wonder if the pros out there have any opinions on this being legit or--- something else?

Either way, it makes my rejection Hall of Fame.

Dear Dave -

I hate writing this letter.

I deeply regret to inform you that "The Nightwalk" did not make the

final cut for Volume 30/3 of XXXXXXXX. Please understand that we

received nearly 400…
