Peter S. Beagle, author of "The Last Unicorn" and "A Fine and Private Place" was filking guest of honor at the local science fiction convention last weekend. I got to hear him sing. When he sang a song he'd written about his stepdaughter, Victoria, he choked up, as did quite a few of us in the audience.
He did ask us not to tell Victoria, but there's every chance she doesn't mudcat.
