(ETA: Not least because it’s ‘s birthday today. :D) Also releasing at the same time … Read more

Thanks for all your birthday wishes. I had a great day. Had a couple meetings at work–one in which things happened that hopefully will result in some sort of good news sometime in the future, but which I obviously can’t spill the beans about yet–and after work went to see the Bourne Ultimatum with my … Read more

Yes, today is my birthday. I hung one more year on the line. I should be depressed, my life’s a mess, but I’m having a good time.* (Okay, so you’re supposed to sing that the day after your birthday, I know, but “yes, today” sounds almost like “yesterday”!)

Among other things, that reminded me that I’ve never put in one place a link to all the different places you might find job listings in the publishing field. If you’re in … Read more

I must say, All For Kids knows how to throw a Harry Potter party. Not that I’ve ever been to one before. Actually, this was my first one. But I wanted to make sure to get a copy tonight so I could start reading right away–I mean, I work with a bunch of fantasy fans; … Read more

Okay, that ticks me off. The entire entry somehow got lost as I clicked “post.” I’m annoyed now. Let’s see if I can recreate it… Perfect expression of many people’s thoughts this weekend, no?
