Stopped by recently.


The wind is up and the kiteboarders are aloft.



Hanging out on Hanging Rock

But really I’m celebrating with a walk on the beach after sending off a 2,500 word story which I managed to write and edit this weekend. I haven’t been that productive in a while. Plus the story lies at the intersection of baseball and body horror. Summer is in the air!

Did I sell a book to my bartender? Yes I did.

Stokercon is about being able to wear t-shirts that most people shrug at but instead you hang out and start thinking maybe Bizarrocon would be worth the plane ticket.

I took all of three photos at Stokercon. The photos below feature Darrell Schweitzer, whom I had not spoken with in decades, and Bitter Karella, new spokesperson for BuzzBallz, official sponsor of Stokercon. The third photo is on the timeline of Stephen Kozeniewski, recently appointed HWA Treasurer nominee.
