Coordination

Well, I'm coordinating my first RFR for BU (at Conestoga). Had some cool people sign up to read, including Devon Monk, Melanie Fletcher, Marie Brennan swan_tower, and rachelcaine......and me...

I feel somewhat out-classed.

A lot of other people have signed up but aren't current on their membership, so I'm having to hound them to go get their membership taken care of. Which is why I have the sword today....

I'm also limiting it to 10 readers, with a couple of back-ups (because more than that becomes too difficult to handle.) I intend to be a mean clock-mistress and watch that five minutes per person. (I won't use the sword, I'll rap their knuckles with rolled-up paper.)

In the mail....

Received:
a) Contributor's copy of Strange Worlds of Lunacy which included my short short "First Day Jitters". There's a wonderful illustration by Richard Svensson, which pleases me muchly. ;o) It's available from Lulu. I need to go update my web-page with all the linkery....just haven't done it yet. ;o)

b) Copy of Jim Butcher's first three Dresden novels. Must read.

c) YFOP from ROF, which brings me to a level 4 yellow/4 blue. Nice, but I'd still rather have a sale....or even a rewrite request.

d) Bills, junk mail, and catalogs (you really didn't need to know that)

Sent:
Box 'o books to Australia, for friend in Melbourne. Single-rate Priority boxes went up slightly today...in addition to all other American postage.

Note:
Fingernails are getting just long enough to interfere with typing. Blame all typos on that....
