Hi Tom, it’s Shari from TusCon. Just wanted to let you know I enjoyed Chance Encounters and 179 Degrees From Now (though I haven’t quite got to the book excepts yet). I think my favorite was Second Chance. It was a great page turner! I also read A Long Time Passing with interest because of the comments you made about it. I can see how it would invite annoyed reactions from people who have strong feelings for and against war, as it deals directly with the horror without questioning the necessity. Probably unsatisfying for anyone with a black and white view. I admit to being on the anti-war side of things, but as a story about a traumatized soldier, I liked the fact that he realizes he has a duty to remember what happened, regardless of what the future holds. Anyway, it was good to meet you. See you again next year, if not before!
I’m happy to hear those stories worked for you. Jan Costa and his crew (Second Chance) ended up being a significant part of the story told in War of the Second Iteration, starting with the fourth book. The short story was an experiment, and I was so pleased by it in the end, I “recycled” the event depicted in it and made it part of the longer narrative. It was good meeting you. I’m glad Erica brought you to TusCon.
