I FIRST MET JASON CORDOVA WHEN HE WAS A PUNK KID TRYING TO START OUT IN WRITING: Since then he’s grown up and become a very good writer and — it pains me to mention this — went to the dark side, becoming an editor at Baen. (The editor thing is the dark side. Ask any writer.)  He’s one of the best people I know, though. He’s even nice and good as an editor.  We once shocked some stranger at Liberty con by trading  cordial insults based on the fact I’m of Portuguese origin and he of Spanish descent. The poor newby went screaming to the organizers to denounce us for insensitivity.

Now, he has disobeyed me. I specifically told him not to get sick. I told all my friends, because this year has already been a mess. But no, he had to go get cancer. What are you going to do?  Well, I’m going to try to help him, that’s what:  Help Jason Kick Cancer’s Butt.
