A bit of a throw-back to my early years of writing.
The internet has brought me a wonderful and unexpected gift in this awesome photograph from David Dyer-Bennet taken at the Fourth Street Fantasy Convention in 1987. I am standing with the wonderful Patricia McKillip, and then there's me, in my Bordertown skateboard t-shirt. I love this photo because we are smiling, looking so young and I remember how much fun it was to be together at those early conventions. For all of us it was usually a once a year (twice if we all made it to World Fantasy) chance to be together in the same place for a couple of hectic days.
