I can’t begin to say how “Wrinkle” made a difference in my life. I read it first at 7, then at 11 for school as most grade 6 kids do. I’ve read it twice since.
She will be missed.

L’Engle died Thursday at a nursing home in Litchfield of natural causes, according to Jennifer Doerr, publicity manager …

It’s going to be a very busy weekend.
I’ve got two editing projects on the go, one substantial and one proof. Then I have at least fifty slush to wade through for both CM and Apex (although, if I get ‘em all done I get a break from CM for a month and I’ll grab more Apex slush).
I have five books on/in the review files. Most of which are sitting comfortably…but the authors are giving me the eyeball..I can feel it.
I have to get back to work on another project for …

30 Days of Night is on its way to theatres, apparently releasing October 19th. There is an unfortunate casting of male lead (Josh Hartnett) but perhaps the female lead (Melissa George) will make up for it.

Every winter, a small town above the Arctic Circle in Alaska is in total darkness for 30 days. This year, something is coming out to feed…
While it almost sounds sortakinda similar to Pitch Black (minus the alien planet and aliens and hot anti-hero) it also almost sounds good. The graphic novel was wonderful, so… …

I didn’t realize how late it’s gotten… I was three chapters from the end of Samhain’s Call at 2:00 AM, and I figured one more wouldn’t hurt me.
Here I am, 5:00 AM, and it’s done. For the third time since I originally wrote the scene, Jon has died. I think maybe it was my Marked in Red article that made me think about characters and getting it done. If I were a superstitious person, I’d have to wonder about the validity of third time is the charm… will the real …

Good morning, fellow wanderers of the dark!
I’ve been up most of the night working on various little projects. I opened up Blessed Eternity and made some notes on where I think pieces need to be cut out and replaced with something better.
