Okay, okay, I know I owe everybody the annual Dragon*Con report. My only excuses are:

- Aaaaagh! There are over four hundred pics to sort!
- I only finished the rewrite of The Story That Ate My Brain and sent it to the next round of beta readers yesterday. (Pray for them. Or volunteer. I firmly believe in sharing the pain.)
- I'm easily distract...oooh, is that a new anime? 

Have  I mentioned I'm easily distracted?

But my darling spouse person was good enough to scan the cover of Here Be Dragons: Tales of Dragon*Con for me. As far I know this is the only place you can find the images until the copies I uploaded at Amazon actually post.
Here Be Dragons includes stories about the con by such luminaries as Jody Lynn Nye, Quinn Yarbro, Susan Sizemore, my dear friend Teresa Patterson...and me! It also boasts Robert Asprin's last story.  So it has a lot of good reads.

I've been known to repeat myself too.  ;-)

Thanks {{{{klgrem}}}}. It is. I just wish they'd mentioned who the artist is. That's so unusual for the editor and Wildside. Hugs and smiles, Jean Marie

And your story is great! It actually sort of fits in with the weird mythos of Atlanta too.

It does? Really? *user buffs nails* Thank you {{{{sandyinstep}}}}}. I was just doing my own little take on the urban legend of Bloody Mary. As far as I understand it (which granted, isn't very much), Richmond and New Orleans were the centers of the slave trade. The Hyatt actually has a good rep because it was the first major Atlanta hotel built to be integrated. All its restrooms, right from the start, were simply "Men" and "Women".
Glad you liked it. :-)
Hugs and smiles,

Most of Atlanta was burned to the ground during the Civil War, so few can probably pin-point the exact location of anything that stood there prior to Reconstruction. And a lot of the historical buildings that did survive were bulldozed for the making of modern Atlanta.

Atlanta would have had a slave auction, just like Augusta had one. Glad to hear the Hilton didn't segregate from its inception.
