Ahh, Jeff. If only. Eclipse Two bit the dust, in terminal dust biting way, overridden by the Dozois colossus! His Year's Best SF deservedly was Best Anthology. Happily, delightfully, Ted's story from E2 was a winner, though, and that was swell enough.

Oops, I fucked that up. Apologies to you Ted and Gardner. Thanks for the heads up. I put the fix in.

I can't wait to read about the sandcastle experience. What a surreal treat that must have been.

Hi, Nathan. It was cool. The people were great. I'm waiting for Jill, the coordinator of the event to send me some photos. My wife left the camera out for me to take with me, but, of course, I forgot it. Hopefully I'll have something up soon.

Maybe you get something going with that critter from the North American Lake story...

Lucius: Patagonia? That sounds awesome. I read that Bruse Chatwin book a couple years back. The descriptions of the place were breathtaking, like that photo you had up, but it seemed like there were some really really desolate spots. Must have been fun.

Yeah, it was great. I like desolate, I hope to go back next year in the Chilean summer. When It's not so Brrrrr. Patagonia is, like I said, has the most spectacularly beautiful scenery I've seen, The Himalayas a close second...

Bummer. But, c'est la vie, I suppose. Your work is doing well, anyway, regardless of an award here and there. I haven't gotten to reading the two books of yours I got a bit ago, but I am one of those who likes to delay the pleasure of good reading because... I hate it when it ends. Twisted, right?

traveler64: Yeah, what can you do? It really is great to be nominated for these awards for the simple reason it means people noticed the books. Ever onward. I didn't read the LeGuin novel yet but Paolo's collection is excellent.
