Time Spies/Candice Ransom podcast
Our friends over at the Official Time-waster’s Guide have posted the second podcast interview with a Mirrorstone author from ALA. Check it out! Candice is the author of over 100 books for children, so her vast experience is something most people can learn from–and she’s just plain entertaining, too.
Dresden File rumors
I heard over at Meg Cabot’s blog that there’s a rumor going round that the SciFi channel might not renew The Dresden Files for a second season. What is it with all the good shows only lasting one season? Well, like Meg Cabot, it is one of the only shows on SciFi I look forward to. … Read more

I think the site must be down for maintenance or something. I’ll try again some other … Read more
Finally, the big long ALA report
Pictures sold separately, i.e., this post was too freaking long to add pictures to it, too. My first day at ALA was a day before everyone else, meeting Jeff ( maddrjeffe ) and Eric of The Official Timewaster’s Guide with Tiffany ( tltrent ) to do a podcast interview. It went really well, and the interview … Read more
ALA summary
I was thinking about all the things I need to write about, but tltrent has summed it up already from her perspective. I’ll just follow that up with pictures, as soon as I’ve had the chance to process them. There are many–my camera was on the multiple-shot setting, which tripled the number of shots to … Read more
