Back from Necon, Back at Work...

The official t-shirt for Necon read "what happens at Necon, stays at Necon." There are some photos floating about, but convention reports, not so much. You want to know, you've got to go.

This morning, I spent an hour doing preliminary promotional stuff for the paperback release of SILVER (October) and the hardcover release of COLD EYE (January). Now I get to write more of Still Untitled #3 (late 2017/early 2018) and poke people about the proofs for COLD EYE, and news on Still Untitled #4.

Series writing means never getting to say "I have nothing to do."

Putting aside gender history being made, for a moment...

Hillary Clinton is officially the Democratic candidate for president in 2016.

I like Hillary. I don't agree with everything she's done, but I appreciate her intelligence, her pragmatism, and her ability to - often despite themselves - make allies in other camps (and countries), and get things done. Is she a professional politician? Of course she is. Politics has become a profession: amateurs don't survive.

Whatever your feeling about who should have become the nominee, it has come to this: history and math tell us that a third party candidate has no chance to win this contest. It is between Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump.

#ImWithHer because I refuse to give this country over to hate and ignorance. We can be better that that. We MUST be better than that.

(and we need to elect a Congress that will work with her. That’s part of the battle, too)
