Hello All,

Greetings from the drab, dismal, dreary, damp, sunless state of Pennsylvania... It's been a while since I sent this newsletter out, and I welcome all the new members. We're up to about 100 now, so the list has grown nicely. My thanks to everyone.

Other Updates

Look for news of some exciting collabs. I'm working on two separate collections with two excellent writers. More details forthcoming. I'll also be editing another anthology soon, possibly more than one. I'm currently working on my second fantasy novel, part two of a trilogy. It's high fantasy, and the first book is under serious consideration from a publisher at the moment. Wish me luck...

My hands are getting tired from all this typing. Thanks everyone for actually reading this to the bottom -- you know who you are. I might be moving this list elsewhere soon, so don't be confused by any e-mails I send out for the next batch. ;>)

Have a great spring -- wherever it is...See ya!
