Another sale to report, and some authoral squeeing

[lagilman]

At Lunacon this afternoon, I was handed a contract (thus making it official after the "I like this, I want it" e-mail a few months ago) for my story "Wolfling" to go to Abyss & Apex.

(for those keeping track at home, this is a story in the "Dragon Virus" universe)


I also, on my way out the door, got in the mail my very first ever piece of fanart. Specifically, of P.B. *squeeeee!* I have been showing it around proudly, and the general reaction has been "how cool! And it's really good!"

As soon as I have the scanner set up, I will share it with y'all. :-)

And now I need to get some sleep, as tomorrow is a damn full day of conventioning...

"Dragon Virus"
Now that just sounds like it's made of cool.

...as far as fan art: I seem to recall making a masterpiece with snurched art from Retrievers #1 and The Bourne Identity years (OMG it's been years ago).

well, I think it's cool, yeah....

I will look into the "Dragon Virus" universe when I get home. Trying to read and enjoy while troubleshooting laptops for New Yorkers doesn't work out from past experience. ;P

Hello! Digital artist! You're so analog. :P

Woot! on the contract!

And do tell Lunacon people that I'm still alive and kicking. I wish so much I could have come, but Fielder still needs to be fed through his tube every 3 hours. Sigh. But I love him.

I think they're doing some memorial for Legault. If so, please let them know I wish I could have come: Robert was a dear friend, and I miss him every day. I was unable to go to the memorial in NY earlier this month, too (see above). Because of Robert, I started going to Boston-area cons. Because of Robert I was able to kvetch about ongoing projects/clients/etc and keep my sanity (and did the same for him). Because of Robert, I am the proud owner of a hot pink lava lamp. And our guest room is called "Robert's room" -- he was always here for weeks at a time, and it doesn't seem right without him visiting. Please let them all know this if it's (1) appropriate and (2) timely. Thanks, lady.

I'm going to have to hunt up those dragon virus stories. Sounds very interesting.

Are you sure about that? My Luncaon contract from Abyss & Apex. has a different title on it.
