From a long four-day weekend in Brittany (sea, cycling and sand… There was sun, but the temperature was still pretty cool. Pleasant, but I didn’t really feel like taking off my jacket in the evening).

Just learnt that Charles N. Brown, publisher, editor and co-founder of Locus passed away. I had the luck to meet him once at the Writers of the Future workshop, and to sit at his table, where he regaled us with anecdotes and advice. He was in many ways a towering man, and he will be missed.
