I told SFWA's YA/MG special interest group that I would not derail their discussion further by continuing to talk there about why they're restricting the group. They've made their decision and they don't want to re-hash it, and I understand that ( Read more... ) -
Clubs within Clubs

How to contact a blogger on Blogspot?
