World Fantasy Convention, Calgary October 2008

What a great time in Calgary. Got to finally meet some people I've known for a long time, like Eddie Schneider, the new second-in-command at JABberwocky, and Todd Lockwood, the cover artist for The Mirror Prince. Also go to meet fellow DAW author Tad Williams. There's something a little special about World Fantasy. It's usually smaller than World SF Con, which makes it more intimate, and in many ways more fun. A first for me that I'll never forget: people reading my name tag in the elevator and telling me they'd just finished one of my books and loved it.

One of my favourite panels: Location or Setting and its Impact on Genre. With Gili Bar-Hillel and Deborah Biancotti.
