Writers of the Future blog has some nice photos ...

... of me!

They were taken by Carolyn on the set of the Rogers Television morning show in Kicthener-Waterloo, Ontario, last Monday, where I was a guest talking about the contest (after struggling through some of the worst winter weather we've had this year to get there -- the normally one-hour drive took two, and we watched cars going off the road left and right as we carefully made our way along).

Check out the blog, and click on the little versions of the photos to see bigger ones.

(And scroll down in the blog to see more interesting stuff; for some reason, my browser is displaying a lot of blank space before the next entry there.)

Interesting facts: there are now 65,000 mass-market paperback copies of the latest volume in print, which is a huge number, and Neil Gaiman has just offered a terrific blurb:

Writers of the Future has a record of nurturing and discovering writers who have gone on to make their mark in the science fiction field. Long may it continue!

Meanwhile, on Thursday I received the latest batch of stories I'm supposed to judge for the contest ... so I better get to it!
