Stephen R. Donaldson, Robert Vardeman

Floating over my left shoulder is the face of Walter Jon Williams. Peeking over Bob's left shoulder is the face of S.M. Stirling, who is speaking with Terry England in the yellow and orange shirt. Stephen R. Donaldson is best known for his Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever series and his Gap series. I sat next to him in a mass signing at the World Fantasy Convention in 2004, with Karen Anderson (wife of the late SF legend Poul Anderson) on my other side, however I don't have any photos of that. Bob Vardeman writes in all genres and has several alias names, and has written for franchises such as Star Trek and Magic the Gathering.
