Thank you all!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I had a more-or-less calm time at the day-job, came home to hand-packed ice cream from Giffords (mmmmm, mint chocolate chip) and dropped into Second Life where Anhayla and Shawna hosted a delightful birthday bash!

And!

Today's Friday.

Good deal.

Five Minutes of Fame

Apologies to those who have seen multiple times.

Dear All.

On Monday, we were interviewed by Colin Hickey from our local newspaper, the Morning Sentinel. The conversation was wide-ranging and covered a number of subjects, including web serialization, the experience of writing dark fantasy versus space opera, the Ace reissues, writing with your spouse of manymany years, and the peculiar relationship the internet engenders between artists and their fans.

Colin called us back this evening, having found his angle, and he would like to "speak" via email to any willing reader who donated to Fledgling and/or Saltation. Colin in particular would like to hear about your experience with the serialization, your reasons for donating and whether you feel the time, energy, and funds were well-spent. He may well have other questions -- he's kind of funny that way, but he's a reporter. You do not have to live in the US in order to contact Colin with your impressions.

In any case, he has given me permission to post his email address -- chickey AT centralmaine DOT com (where the usual replace AT and DOT) -- and is eager to hear from y'all.

Go for it!
