Amazingly Enough, a Post About a Signing by a Writer Who's Not Related to Me

My old friend Doselle Young -- who has written Superman and Wonder Woman (not to mention stories about mob weddings and dating a stripper) for DC, and THE MONARCHY for Wildstorm Comics -- writes:



"Hi there, folks!


"As some of you know, I've got a short prose story appearing this month in THE DARKER MASK (Tor Books 2008).


"Publishers Weekly describes The Darker Mask as: 'Themed along the grayer areas of superhero fiction, this anthology of 18 original stories nonetheless covers a wide spectrum. Deceptively simple and entertaining while never skimping on serious topics, this tight anthology will satisfy any superhero enthusiast.' I think that's likely true and, if not, the anthology features stories by well-known luminaries in the mystery and science-fiction genres, including shining light Walter Mosley (Devil in a Blue Dress), so I'm sure there'll be something in it even for the discerning lit-snobs among you.


"That being said, I am just happy to be part of the book and doubly so to have an excuse to see many of you that I haven't seen in awhile."
