First of all, I want to extend a great big super thank-you to Nancy Holzner, Barbara Friend Ish and Allen Wold for the insight and expertise they provided during my writing workshop at RavenCon.  Nancy posted a nice summary of my workshop on her blog:  http://nancyholzner.wordpress.com/2010/04/16/ravencon-recap-3-more-on-writing/.

Also, a thank-you to Catherine Asaro, Rachael Caine, Chris Flick and Valerie Griswold-Ford for their five-star performance on the "Then Buffy Met Edward" panel I moderated.  That panel, with its awesome audience participation, was one of the best ever!

Congratulations again to Valerie Griswold-Ford for her superb editing job on "Rum and Runesones," a pirates and magic anthology.  "Rum and Runestones" is now available on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_9?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=rum+and+runestones&sprefix=rum+and+r) and Barnes and Noble (http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=BOOK&WRD=rum+and+runestones).  Look for my short story, "Thar Be Magic" in the "Rum and Runestones" anthology.

Warm wishes for a great day,
