The cover for Women of War is up on Amazon and it is boootiful!

I've spent the day so far updating badly out of date webpages and tinking my resume, which are now all as good as I can make them. Still need to write the letter of interest...

It was supposed to rain today, but so far -- nary a drop. Not that I'm complaining, mind...

Well, that's interesting

The Tucson Citizen's website is down. I'm sorry for that, because I wanted to check a story posted on The Smirking Chimp. Since I can't check it and link to the source, I've taken the liberty of reproducing the Chimp's posting here.

The goal is to rein in judges who have undermined democracy and family values with recent decisions on same-sex marriage, the Ten Commandments, school prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, said Rick Scarborough, a Texas Baptist minister.

"This is a response to a growing infringement by activist judges on people of faith and their right to acknowledge God," said Scarborough, founder of Vision America, an organization that promotes Christian values in U.S. politics.
