People you find in strange places

I borrowed Michael Scott's The Hallows from wyvernfriend. She didn't warn me that it contained, close to the end, a description of the very graphic death by lightning strike, on a stage in Wales, of slovobooks. That made me blink.

Ah yes, the lightning bolt through the top of the head on page 333. I know it well. Michael and myself were great friends at the time, so he asked if he could put me in. Or perhaps I asked him if he would put me in. Time passing has dimmed the truth of that one.

I'm actually in a few books, and Diane Duane has promised to write me into her next (and final) Star Trek novel, which is to be a Kirk era story. Apparently I'll get to beam down in a red shirt. Immortality, of a sort.

It made me laugh, but then again, I'm pretty sure I knew it was coming.

Hey Maura McHugh is a real person too, and has a blog syndicated on LJ! (same scene!)

A lot of the names in that book of incidental characters are of Dublin SF-Heads!

Oops, forgot to mention that bit... thought I had 8)

Oh and reading Anna Dillon books after reading horror stories by Michael Scott is a giggle a minute, you can almost physically see where he stops himself from doing what he really wants to do to the characters...
