I attended BayCon 2014 this past weekend. Fun! Inspiring!
I’ll be writing a longer post about the con on my writers group’s blog, Leasspell Writers Group at http://leasspell.blogspot.com/ . In the meantime, here’s an image of Denise Tanaka, Jennifer Carson, and myself participating in the Master Crafter’s competition on Saturday. We made a welcome basket for aliens that had recently landed on our planet.

In February 2008, my brother died of ALS. During his four-year-long struggle with the disease, he anonymously published a no-holds-barred blog on Blogger, to which I contributed as “Ratty”. Under that protective pseudonym, I published a much smaller companion blog called Rat in the Walls, which allowed me to voice things about his illness that I couldn’t voice otherwise. Today, I pulled down the wall and changed my Blogger profile to use my real name instead of the pseudonym.
I’m owning the ugly as well as the love.
