    Sold a Story to Rayguns Over Texas

    Saturday, December 29th, 2012

    My story “Novel Properties of Certain Complex Alkaloids” will be appearing in the Rayguns Over Texas anthology edited by Rick Klaw that’s to be published for LonestarCon 3, the 2013 San Antonio Worldcon. It’s sort of a Greg Egan story by way of Timothy Leary and H. P. Lovecraft…

    My computer was in the shop, so I haven’t had a chance to do the usual photo roundup until now.


    Stina Leicht.

    The public has cried out “Stina! We just can’t get enough photos of her! Could you possibly put up a bunch more?” The blue hair fetish crowd has spoken, and who am I to deny the public what it wants? Vox populi, vox dei.

    (If you’re wondering whether the phrase “Blue Hair Fetish” bring up a lot of Google hits, I can tell you: Yes. Yes it does. And you shouldn’t test this theory at work. (See also: Rule 34.))


    Julia Mandala, Linda Donahue, and Bill Crider.


    Martha Wells and Troyce Wilson, just back from their awesome private tour of NASA. They even showed them the video feed of the top secret moonbase and the dead alien in the third subbasement freezer…


    Three of the four redheads of the apocalypse: Julia Mandala, Rhonda Eudaly, and Linda Donahue.


    Gabrielle Faust.


    Patrice Sarath.


    Stina Leicht: The Seconding.


    Stina and SF Signal head honcho John DeNardo, whose mouth and eyes are wired in such a way that when one opens, the other must close.


    Jayme Lynn Blaschke, who suffers from no such limitations.


    Martha Wells, wearing a black outfit against the black backdrop the concom thoughtfully provided.


    Editor Guest of Honor Ann VanderMeer, of the Florida Science Fiction VanderMeers.


    Texas in 2013 Worldcon bid chair Bill Parker with international confidence man Fred Duarte.


    Jonathan Miles, pledging to eat only the brand of butter-substitute promoted by William Shatner.


    Stina: The Return of the Attack of the Revenge of the Quickening


    Gabrielle Faust, who wisely opted for the decorative white corset and brass goggles against the black background.


    Lou Antonelli, Bill Crider and Jayme Lynn Blaschke.


    Artist Guest of Honor Rocky Kelley.


    Bill Parker in the militantly festooned Texas in 2013 suite.
