THE GREAT INSULT OF DISRESPECTING OUR FICTION

Originally posted Jan. 11, 2009 Yet again I seem to be dealing with bloggers here who have no respect for fiction and who foolishly believe that there is nothing of value to be found in our fiction.

WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR TENTH ANNIVERSARY TODAY

I've been married ten years now. Not sure what kind of an omen it is that our 10th anniversary falls on a Friday the 13th.
