I'm willing to help out, too. I'm heading for Malice Domestic in May, but since Kristopher Zygorski is on the board, I'm sure it will be an inclusive conference. After that I plan on Ninc in St. Peter

I feel like an over-achiever -- I have ten goals set up for the coming year, but I figure if I don't identify them they won't happen. Most of them have to do with editing or publishing a specific manu

I am pleased that for a change I have a release schedule ahead of me for the next four months, instead of scrambling to put books out at the last minute. Of course, now I have to stick to that schedul

I am about 50% into my new Mahu Investigation. I kept thinking that the motive I had in mind was too obvious and not strong enough, but then a bad dream brought me a mew and much stronger motive. Yay

I finally finished reviewing all the Mahu books, got them formatted, and all but one uploaded to the sales sites. Whew! That was a lot of work, and not very emotionally rewarding, though I did get emo

Sorry this was supposed to be a private response to Catherine not a public one. I have no interest in cutting down another gay author in public. Neil Plakcy mystery, romance and more at www.mahubooks.

I agree. But I don’t believe in paying for reviews, and if I did pay I wouldn’t go bragging about it. And $425 is a lot of money for one review. Neil Neil Plakcy mystery, romance and more at www.mahub

Good luck with your new project, Bess! I've had a very productive week. Finished the second draft of my newest Mahu book, Deadly Labors, and sent it off to my editor. Then turned to editorial comments
