Each week, Christine Marie Larsen creates a new portrait of an author for us. Have any favorites you’d love to see immortalized? Let us know

Sorry to say you already missed Charles Johnson speaking earlier this week, and you probably should have gone. Read what Paul said in the Event of the Week column if you want to wallow in your regret. But not all is lost: you can still buy copies of Johnson's latest book Night Hawks, which seems like a decent close-second option to showing up to seeing him speak.
