Chris Smith very helpfully fixed the newspaper photo I posted earlier today, which showed me at 9 months, with my mom.

25 years of legal abortion in Canada (Thanks, Chris!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Even before I read the earlier article, I  recognized your mom in the photo . If you’ve not posted that photo before, you’ve posted one very similar.

    But, wait…shouldn’t he be holding a banana? Just look at it!

      He had just looked at a banana. That’s how the photographer got him to smile.

    Hmmm, needs a big more frothing at the mouth over copyright reform, but yes, well done.

    Your mom looks *so* adorable in this photo too. 
    Unfortunately, mine only managed scary in our photos.

      Back then, my mom was usually behind the camera, except for her thumb. That almost always made it into the shot.
