dewline...and got to say "hi" to Julie Czerneda, Derek Kunsken and Mark Shainblum again. Turns out that, last night at Perfect Books on Elgin Street, this was the actual "book birthdate" for Julie's new volume, The Gossamer Mage. I don't go in for fantasy work - unless we're talking urban fantasy in general and, arguably, super-heroes in particular depending on whether you consider super-heroes to be either SF or F - but Julie's a good wordsmith, so you might want to give The Gossamer Mage a look.
I do think the weather yesterday afternoon with its thunderstorming had a negative effect upon attendance, but then I arrived later than I planned. I left for the first bus I needed to catch twelve minutes before it was supposed to arrive. The bus failed to arrive as scheduled, though, so I had another half-hour's waiting. Oh well. At least, I got there, right?
