My cover comps had Death Squad and another alternate title, to which I said "I don't think I can do that" and my editor said "OK." But I think the marketing people still need to be convinced.

I hadn't been planning on WorldCon -- I know, it's Montreal! And I might be able to convince the little sisters to let me stay at their place! But financially, logistically, I don't know. WorldCon is huge and intimidating -- I was at my Human Contact Threshold at a 1000-person con.
