Be a part of it.Take advantage of all the con has to offer–panels, meet-and-greets, and the opportunity to meet random readers and writers in the hotel [...]
My Happy List
I’m answering a question posed by design/scrapbook blogger Elizabeth Kartchner and offering up some things on my current “happy” list. 1. Flip-flop weather.

Jeremy suggested a first line for Book Seven: In the beginning, there were Mallocakes . . . And now he says I [...]
