Small Pause

I'm taking a short break from my posts on Dialog to share something I haven't felt I should until now. My good friend and super critique partner, L.K. Madigan, is quite ill and undergoing chemotherapy.





I write about this only because she's gone public on her blog and the 2009 Debs have run a contest with the prizes being her books donated by our members. Since Lisa's illness is no longer private I won't be violating her confidence.





The Oregonian has nominated Lisa's Flash Burnout for the Oregonian Reader's Choice Award. I've already voted to help her win, and I'd like to ask my readers to at least consider her book when going here [ Oregonian  ] to cast your vote.





Thank you all.Sliding on the Edge, C. Lee McKenzie, WestSide Books, Spring '09
