(Due to the sheer awesomeness that was "Alethea’s Adventures at BEA 2009, andWhat She Found There", I will begin at the end and go on until I come to the beginning. Because I am the princess and I said so.) ********************************************** The Friendly SkiesMonday June 1, 2009 It’s been said — and I’ve mentioned it before myself — that…
The finished manuscript, and congratulatory roses from Korea-by-way-of-Portland Millennicon was the reward I gave myself for finishing the novel I’ve been working on for the better part of three years.
