Arriving at TusCon 36 around 5 p.m., I checked in and got my participant packet. Pulling out the schedule, I saw that my options for the next hour included a panel (Star Trek: Heresy or new revelation?) or a reading by David Lee Summers, the editor of Space Pirates, the anthology in which my collaboration with Karl, "Ship's Daughter," appeared. Guess which option I chose.
David Lee Summers

I arrived a few minutes late, so I missed the opening of "Electric Kachinas", a story published in Science Fiction Trails #2, According to David, this story is also part of Owl Dance, a novel currently in progress. His second reading was a selection from his novel The Solar Sea. Both stories were a lot of fun. David's a good reader, too, and some of his books are available in audio formats. I discovered that his novel, The Pirates of Sufiro, is available in a free audio version from Podiobooks, so you might consider giving it a try.
Elaine Charton

Now that I was in the reading room, I hung around for the next reading, by Elaine Charton. She read from her novel The Man in the Mirror, which is currently out of print. The Man in the Mirror, which combines fantasy and romance. Another fun read and I was glad I stuck around.
After that, it was off to the Meet the Guests party, which I will cover in another post.
