Jennifer Mercer's reviews of four poems from Issue 12 of Mythic Delirium are up at MultiVerse.

In ArmadilloCon news, the writing workshop went quite well today. I really enjoyed leading my sub-group of writers with Martha Wells, and the editors panel I sat on with Jim Minz and Rick Klaw was quite entertaining. Jim and Rick had the most to say, but I managed to share some useful information with our writer audience as well.

All of the instructors showed a real commitment to helping the workshop attendees improve their craft. Kudos to Wendy Wheeler and Jennifer Evans for organizing the workshop. Oh, and I just have to say that Charles de Lint is a really nice man, and Sean McMullen is a hilarious speaker.

After the workshop ended, I chatted with Deborah Lane of Wheatland Press and bought two Jay Lake collections, Greetings from Lake Wu and American Sorrows" and one collection of Howard Waldrop's, Dream Factories and Radio Pictures. I also listened to Josh Rountree's panel "New Directions in Heroic Fantasy," and Josh handled his panel role with aplomb. I then shot the breeze with Mikal Trimm and Josh before leaving the con for the night to spend time with my wife and daughter who leave for West Texas tomorrow morning. I plan on hanging out at the con for most of the rest of the weekend. I have two panels to do -- one on Saturday, one on Sunday -- and a reading late Saturday. So, far I've enjoyed myself. More reports later.
