On Saturday night April 24 (7pm – midnight) we’ll be having a party for Circlet contributors, supporters, family, and friends. I realize this might be somewhat short notice. That weekend is the first ever Circlet editorial development retreat, and my focus has been on trying to get the program of discussions and workshops together for…
So just a note to all my friends going to Infinitus! I’m absolutely Slytherin green with envy since I can’t go and the new theme park looks awesome. And I would love to experience it with a few hordes of robed-up fans. But… here’s the thing. The reason I’m not going? I got into the…
