Hello friends, I was so very much looking forward to this week’s page, especially after a relaxing weekend away! Then I had to run through eighty pounds of rent-paying work AND I got sick. Whee. I’ll have a page up next week that starts off two new scenes, and for the first time ever I will be THIRTY WHOLE YEARS OLD. Holy gosh!

Next weekend: I’ll be in Maryland for the Small Press Expo, sharing my table with Carla Speed McNeil, one of my absolute heroes. Let me tell you, SPX is one of my all-time favorite shows. If you love to buy books and meet the people who make them, it is for you. Heck, the last time I went I had so much fun that I got engaged. Catch a train or hit the highway to Bethesda from anywhere on the Eastern seaboard!

This year SPX is twice its usual size, so if you are anywhere nearby and don’t come, you’re either (a) stuck at your Oma’s house in Schenectady for Yom Kippur or (b) silly.
