Wishing I was in Toronto right now...
Tanya Huff, a wonderful Canadian science fiction, fantasy and horror writer, is giving a talk at the University of Toronto on Oct 21.
I love to say that I gamed with Tanya once. A friend from my CIS days, Caroline Julian, knew Tanya and her partner Fiona Patton (now an author in her own right) and invited them to sit back in on a session with us when I was up visiting Carrie for the weekend.
Tanya patiently worked on a quilt while we gamed. She was very down-to-earth, and a great person. Fe was much more outgoing, though I'm sure a lot of that had to do with Fe's young knight character.
She's a great author (Fe's books I have, but they're a bit harder for me to get into) and one I highly recommend.
