As anticipated, it's been a nerve-wracking
summer.
But a great one!
Dark
of the Elvenwood, my second novel, arrived just in time for the
Gathering 2000 in Orlando. With
introduction by John Kovalic of Dork
Tower fame, and cover and interior art by our fandom's own Christi
Smith Hayden, plus an even better story than the first
in the MageLore
series, overall I am exceedingly pleased
with the way it came out. I also started a Yahoo club,
Sabledrake Hall,
for fun and talk about my books.
So don't delay, order
your signed copy today! Perfect for any reader on your holiday shopping
list! Help
support a struggling author who spends far too much time
writing fanfic for free when she should be working
on getting published! ; ) When all else fails, try the
guilt ...
The big event of the summer for the
Morgan family was our trip to Florida for the Gathering. Read all about
it and view many photos in my traditional Gathering
Essay!
We have another fun issue of Avalon
Mists for you! The results from the last Challenge, the Random Gargoyle
Generator, came flooding in! I think the grand total
was 25 pics, several with multiple random gargs, and a few
that came without pics, as write-ups only. I've heard,
though, that some have found the Generator to be a tad
addictive; might have to step in and do a couple interventions!
The deadline for submissions to the
Winter issue is Wednesday November 22. This is a week early, but as it's
right before Thanksgiving and the start of the holiday
season, I thought it best to try and get things done ahead of
time. E-mail submissions or contact me for any questions!
Not much else to say, so read and
enjoy! And register now for the 5th
Annual Gathering of Gargoyles, to be held
next June in Los Angeles!
Oh, yeah, and buy my books!
