I was an Edwards supporter for a long time and a Deaniac from early in the 2004 cycle. I just wish Obama could wrap this up so we can put the primary behind us before it gets worse. I was ready to support either candidate, but the longer this fight goes on, the more distasteful the Clinton candidacy becomes.<BR/><BR/>Glad to discover we share some political perspectives. I try not to let politics interfere with my admiration for writers (Card and Lisle come to mind) but it is still cool when a good writer also has good politics. =)<BR/><BR/>Which brings me to the reason I found you, through Michael Ehart's blog. He and I are posters at the SF Reader forums and I recently added some notes to my blog about your story "The Whited Child" from Black Gate #9. It's a great story, especially the voice you use. It was the first Black Gate story I read and it made the whole magazine worth the price of admission.<BR/><BR/>I'll be looking for more of your work.<BR/><BR/>Peace and progress,<BR/>Bryan HitchcockBryan Hitchcockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03155751185209414920noreply@blogger.com
