I'm surprised I have the nerve to call this a newsletter, it's been so long, but I've been very busy finishing off Spirits in the Wires, my new novel for Tor (which is now turned in), and any number of other things. And I'd like this to be longer, but now I'm trying to get a few little projects finished off before we leave for the World Fantasy Convention in Minneapolis next week. I hope to see some of you there, or at WindyCon in Chicago the following weekend.

So for the moment, I'd like to say hello to all the new folks who've signed up (you're over 2700 strong at the moment) and leave you with this link that will take you to some news and cover images of upcoming work.

I promise to write something more substantial when I get back.

Bill Schafer at Subterranean Press asked me to forward this to you all:

Full particulars may be found at http://www.subterraneanpress.com/html/contest.html Essentially, anyone who is on (or joins) our email list, or sends in a postcard as described on the contest page, is entered in the contest, which ends November 12.

Good luck to you if you decide to enter.
