Kevin and I actually spent the morning working on revisions to the Mirror Universe story before heading back to the con around lunchtime. Had lunch with Kirsten Beyer, and ended up spending a good portion of the afternoon chewing the fat with her before heading over to do our signing at the Pocket Books booth. Before we actually got started, I finally got to meet Nancy Holder, a writer whose work I enjoy and someone I'd been hoping to run into during the weekend.

I don't know how many copies of Summon the Thunder the good Pocket folks had on hand, but there wasn't a copy to be had when it was all said and done. A nice, steady stream of interested and gracious folks kept on coming well after the hour was up. Among the numerous people I was able to talk to:

Annette Vogel - one half of my favorite con duo. She and her friend Jani Fleet have been coming out to see us at Starfest and Shore Leave since we started attending those cons, and it was a treat to see her again today. Jani, if you're reading this, you were missed!

Geoff Thorne - friend and fellow Trek writer, who actually was there to promote his new comic, The Red Line. Visit his site and check out his stuff. Do it now.

Brian Wiser - one of the good people responsible for Done the Impossible, the first-rate documentary about Firefly and Serenity. Visit their site, check out the film on DVD. Do that now, too.

Along with more visits from AlpineMaps and foravalon from the TrekBBS as well as a whole host of new friends.

Highlight of My Day, and in the running for Highlight of My Weekend: While dropping in on Geoff Thorne where he was promoting his comic, I was in turn greeted by a guy who introduced himself and told me he was a fan of our work. Turns out it was Robert Meyer Burnett, he of Free Enterprise fame (among other things, of course, including his recent work chronicling the production of Superman Returns for the film's eventual DVD release). Now, I gotta tell you, I'm a big fan of FE, given that it is so obviously a labor of love from two die hard Trek fans, so this particular handshake and casual chat was quite a rush for me.

After the day's activities were complete, it was out for dinner with the Pocket editors, Kevin, Jeff Ayers, and artist John Picacio, who recently provided the stunning cover artwork for David George's forthcoming Star Trek trilogy Crucible.

Yep. Another good day.
