Thank You
First of all, thanks to all of you who made the Haunted launch a success--friends, family, old friends and new, the staff of the Tattered Cover. You are all great and I appreciate you more than I can say. To those of you who don't follow me on Facebook, I need to share this little token from my critique group. I'm sure you who can guess who picked it out!
Anna has her gun, I have mine!!

But enough about me. I have a couple of fun things, too. Colorado made another list--this time it's the Forbe's ugliest mansion list. I always thought the sleeper house kind of cool...
Loved this, too: On what today would have been Bradbury’s 92nd birthday, said Michael Meyer, NASA’s lead scientists for the Mars Exploration Program, “In his honor, we declared the place that Curiosity touched down to be forever known as Bradbury Landing.” Meyer’s announcement was followed by applause for Bradbury, as requested by Pete Theisinger, Curiosity’s project manager.
