During Readercon<\/a>, you got to share Thai food with Resa Nelson<\/a>, eat a full Irish breakfast with Jeffrey Ford<\/a>, and down donuts with a parade of 15 writers, editors, and fans<\/a>. Now it’s time to say farewell to Readercon with a visit to The Lobster Stop<\/a> in Quincy, Massachusetts for (what else?) lobster rolls … and F. Brett Cox.<\/p>\n

Brett co-edited (with former Eating the Fantastic guest Andy Duncan<\/a>) Crossroads: Tales of the Southern Literary Fantastic<\/em> (which featured a story about Randy Newman<\/a> by yours truly!), and has had fiction, poetry, essays, and reviews appear in Eclipse Online<\/em>, War Stories<\/em>, Century<\/em>, Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet<\/em>, Postscripts<\/em>, and many other venues. He’s also hard at work on a book-length study of Roger Zelazny for the University of Illinois Press.<\/p>\n
