<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>I\u2019ll be the Artist Guest of Honor at Norwescon 35<\/a> starting this Thursday, along with fellow GoHs Stephen Baxter, Bridget Landry and Betsy Wollheim (Daw Books). Had a blast when I first attended Norwescon back in 2008. Spent much of that one hanging out with Cherie Priest, Mario Acevedo, Richelle Mead, and Caitlin Kittredge, and I remember that weekend being very good times.
