Something new! :)

Write a scene where one of your characters (from any story you've written) meets a well-known historical figure. Use the time period current for your character. Shoot for 500 words.

Let me know how it goes!

For those who don't know, the magazine Realms of Fantasy, which has been in print for fourteen years, announced a couple months ago that the last issue would be April's, due to rising cost and less income. They just couldn't afford to keep the doors open.

The SF/F community rose to the occasion. "Save Realms of Fantasy" petitions, Yahoo groups and Facebook groups popped up all over the net. Folks raised money and wrote friends to spread the word.

And now, that hard work has paid off! Realms of Fantasy has been bought by Tir Na Nog Press and will continue to provide the fantasy and literary community with fabulous stories and artwork under the editorial direction of Shawna McCarthy.

For more information, see the post on SFScope. Happy day!

As you can see, I've got a brand new, great-looking website! I have to thank my husband for that. He's been working the last month or two converting everything over from WordPress to BlogEngine.net and trying to convert my weird demands into a useable website. I think he's succeeded! There will still be things that we're working on, but overall, I think the design rocks! What do you think?

So watch for new updates in the coming weeks and some interesting and exciting news from me!
