(above, left to right: me, Lou Anders, Chris Roberson, Allison Baker) I’ve been dreading doing this wrapup since I got home from the 64th World Science Fiction Convention in Anaheim.

Here’s another cover that I recently finished. Above is the wraparound art for the forthcoming cutting-edge sf anthology, FAST FORWARD 1.
