The Night Bazaar
I'm going to be blogging at another site for a few days this month. It's The Night Bazaar, which is a brand new blog for authors who have debut novels with Night Shade Books. Most of the bloggers are first time novelists, so they're going to focus a bit on the process of writing their book, finding an agent, and similar topics. I'll be doing at least two or three Sunday guest posts, and Carol Berg will also be doing a Sunday guest post. I'll post links here on the days I blog over there.
I spent most of yesterday clearing out clothes closets and amassing a large collection of sacks for Good Will. It always feels so good to get stuff I don't need/want anymore out of the house. I also made a butternut squash and carrot pie with onion, bacon, and garlic for dinner, and it turned out really well. Someone on Facebook asked for the recipe, and it is: "I peeled and baked the butternut squash first, for about 25 minutes at 375, so it could be cut up into little pieces easily. Then I cut the bacon up into small pieces and started it cooking with a little olive oil, added chopped onions and... chopped garlic. When the onions were cooked, I added a bunch of butter and the squash pieces, and let it cook about five minutes. I just pared the carrots and lined the bottom of the pie crust with them, then put the squash onion etc mixture in on top. Then I baked it about 35 minutes at 375."

Publishers Weekly: Borders Suspends Payments to Some Publishers This is really not good. There are authors that Barnes and Noble does not carry in their brick and mortar stores, even though they sell them online, that Borders does carry, and vice verse. If either chain goes out of business, it's going to be a disaster for a large number of authors.
Agent Joshua Bilmes has an article here on what's happening with Borders and why.
