Further to
my post back in January, it has now been confirmed that the book
Live Forever will be co-edited by Sam Weller, Ray Bradbury's biographer. The tribute volume will have an introduction by Bradbury and, as I reported here, will include a new story and afterword by Harlan Ellison. The book will also include all-new tales by Neil Gaiman, Joe Hill, Audrey Niffenegger, Alice Hoffmann, Dan Chaon, David Morrell, Dean Koontz, Sam Weller and co-editor, seven-time Bram Stoker nominee, Mort Castle. The tentative publication date will be July 2012.
Speaking of Bradbury, Ellison and other greats, courtesy of Richard on the Bradbury message board, here is a signed photo from a 1973 Los Angeles Science Fiction Fantasy Society meeting. What a gathering: Robert Bloch, Sherwood Springer, Ray Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, Jerry Pournelle, Larry Niven, A.E. Van Vogt, Wendayne Ackerman (Forry's wife), and Forrest J. Ackerman.

A young Bruce Sterling, lower middle? Just a guess, but it looks like him.
Hi Jamie,
I see the resemblance, but I have no idea if it's him. I'll try to find out. (Ever since I saw this photo, I wondered who the other three people are: significant enough to pose with the "masters", but not significant enough to autograph the photo! Either that, or they are "just" fans grabbing a small opportunity for photographic immortality...
