Well, I’ve returned home, stunned by jetlag, and basically been buffetted from pillar to post for the rest of the week. Tomorrow I head back to full-time employment and, presumably, some kind of normality. I think I’m only just beginning to adjust, but commitments are dragging me forward, so no doubt I’ll be right in time to head back to the US for World Fantasy.

I’d love to tell you about the highlights – the bar at the Intercontinental, dinner with friends, memorials for Charles and so on – but time is drawing a veil over such things. Work beckons. Eclipse 3 is in the hands of the publisher. Most of the special issue of Subterrean is too. Swords and Dark Magic (aka Conquering Swords) is due on the 30th, and Legends of Australian Fantasy too. I also need to be read, read, reading for the Leiber, Robinson, Haldeman and year’s best volumes. There’s more, but it can wait. Busy as always!
