NOVEMBER 26 Report
by Judi
Rohrig And speaking of plugging... Brian A. Hopkins did a bit of his own while in the Lone Star State when he attended ArmadilloCon. November saw the release of two collections from the two-time Bram Stoker winner: SALT WATER TEARS from Dark Regions Press and THESE I KNOW BY HEART from VOX13. SWT is a gathering of water-themed stories that includes two previously unpublished stories: "North" and "Sand King." HEART offers some of the strongest stories Hopkins has written including "The Woodshed" and "Out the Back Door," and appearing for the first time together, two from his Watcher series: "Ten Days in July" and the 1999 Stoker winner "Five Days in April." (Hopkins's novel THE LICKING VALLEY COONHUNTERS CLUB was the Stoker recipient this year for First Novel.)
(Personal note: This reporter enjoyed the extra treat of having lunch with Joe, Rick, and Brian A. Hopkins before either event began. It was the first meeting for Lansdale and Hopkins who tied for Stoker honors in the 1999 Long Fiction category for the Bram Stoker Awards.) BLOWING
OVER TO CHICAGO
NOVEMBER 20 Report
by Yvonne
Navarro The bottom line is that today, only four days before its scheduled event dates, Con-Cat literally found itself with NO hotel and has had to cancel the entire convention. If you pre-registered or made arrangements to host a dealer's table, please contact the convention at solveig@earthlink.net for a refund. They plan to reorganize and regroup and hold a real whiz-bang of a convention next year! Since I have everyone's "ear," the Buffy fans out there will be interested to know that TALES OF THE SLAYER is now out, and TEMPTED CHAMPIONS is scheduled to be published in March 2002. This makes for a very busy next few months for me. I'm also still determined to finish the first draft of MIRROR ME by the end of this year (I just don't give up that easily!).
