The Book Love Affair blog is running an Urban Fantasy Awards contest & give-away, and has included the Walker Papers in her line-up. The way to participate is by leaving comments, and I’ve just offered to send an early copy of WALKING DEAD to one of the winners there, so if you want another chance at it, go participate! Also, well, I’d really kind of like to see a good showing in one of these things, because my books more or less never get nominated for any of these sorts…
Non-Con!
Ted and I went into Dublin today to see Paul Cornell, who was in to Dublin for the day to do a signing at Sub City Comics. Getting off the train, we discovered we were walking alongside Brian S. from P-Con, to whom I said, “Brian. Brian!

I’ve only got 80ish miles to go to Minas Tirith, and I keep being appalled that…
hey!
Apparently Chance #5 is out today! YAY! That’s the last of this story arc! Holy cow. End of an era, there, at least for me. And of course the graphic novel will be the *real* end of the era, I guess, but wow. Wow. Damn, congratulations to me! And to my team! Go us!
