1. Mikaela is doing an Old Races: ORIGINS give-away over on her blog! Go check it out! 2. The Disneyland for Deon page has been fixed and now accepts donations again. o.O Remember, I’ll (eventually) be writing a short story as a thank-you for helping Deon get to Disneyland, so if you want access to an exclusive story, go throw a few bucks that way and make a kid’s dream come true while you’re at it. :) 3. I’ve finished Kim Stanley Robinson’s 2312, which in some ways I liked…

Apparently I can only manage to post once every five days. Dunno what’s up with that (motherhood, job, birthday weekend? nah).
