I'm no racist, but then I read articles like thisand I start to wonder if I'm part of the problem. The article states that 90% of young adult books feature only white people on the cover. Hardly any minorities are represented, and forget about the disabled. In a few cases, books with black main characters had white people on the cover. That's even more disturbing.

Threats of global destruction if a love remains unrequited? Promises of eternal devotion, protection from internet viruses and free high-speed cable in return for a swooning, life-affirming romance? I think I dated this computer back in high schoo...

Hey folks! Vincent Hobbes put together a listopia for my work! Vote on your faves. I'm really curious what you all like! :)http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/19...
Just added two stories, "Epilogue" and "Abner's Wisdom" to my library, which are available now as separate downloads. If you have a copy of "Dead Wives Tales: A Collection of Dissolved Unions," then you already own these stories, but since I have decided to discontinue that collection, you also own something of a collector's item! haha...
ha. sometimes I think I spend more time reading reviews and comments on Goodreads than I do reading books
