(Untitled)
We took an impromptu weekend trip to Chicago. What a lot there is to do in The Windy City! We planned our trip around Chi-TAG (http://www.chitag.com/index.htm) at Navy Pier. It's like a smaller, more family-oriented GenCon. I'd say it has the potential to develop into something really great. We were able to demo several games. Standards like ( Read more... ) -

Well, it's been a long while....
I'm teaching as adjunct faculty at Ivy Tech Community College this semester. It's exciting to be back in the classroom, and I really enjoy working with these students. So many of them are at major turning points in their lives, whether the turning point is graduating high school, being laid off work, or returning to school after many years simply ( Read more... ) -
A Worthy Cause
My brother Kevin and his friends are a tight-knit group of folks.

Finally
Although the distributors don't seem to have succeeded in getting it to this part of the Midwest in a timely fashion, today is the day that Ed's novel, Neversfall, should be hitting shelves in the sf& f section of bookstores across the United States! (Yep, right there next to that other Ed G. *wink*)

How Things Are
Contracts are signed and in the mail, final edits done, brief bio still on the to-do list, so I reckon it's OK to say that I sold a story titled "The L.I.L.I.T.H. System" to EC's anthology, Bound is the Bewitching Lilith. It's a fun piece, and EC pretty much made the whole process painless. Look for the antho at Popcorn Press, and expect to see ( Read more... ) -
Welcome and redirect...
Per Lynnette's suggestion (and because Blogger doesn't seem to support this "open ID" thing Piglet suggested trying), here's an LJ page. My regular blog, Lost in Fallen Leaves, is still at http://www.lifl.blogspot.com. I believe there should be a link to it somewhere on this LJ page.
