On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

I am listening to All In a Day on CBC Radio One, and Alan Neal is fielding questions from kids about Christmas. One about what do reindeer enjoy games-wise got pivoted to SF writer Julie Czerneda - turns out she's also a biologist! - and Julie just improvised an answer about how antlers can be repurposed as hockey sticks!

(Yes, Julie and I chat on occasion at bookstores, at Can-Con events, and so on.)

Sad, but necessary, I think. If things get better faster than we expect, I imagine that solutions to take advantage will be found. In the meantime...

In between pages and panels being pencilled and inked, I've managed to make the following progress on my "want to read" list:

• The Shadow of Saganami is officially done. Heavy on the technobabble and political exposition, but then, that's part of the charm of the Honorverse novels, isn't it?


• Gail Bowen's The Last Good Day is about halfway done.

The other three I mentioned are still on hold as I mentioned in that earlier post. There's a couple of other non-fiction works I should probably mention, but they're both books on HTML coding.

More sooner than later...
