An Informational Roundup

by Elisa

Hello all. I got a few interesting links and bits of information for you today. To begin with, Saturday is the last day of National Library Week. Have you celebrated yet? Get out to your local library and check something out (no, checking out the Librarian doesn’t count.) You may be surprised by the wealth of events and variety of items available. (Okay, I’ll get off of my Librarian soapbox now. Moving on.)

Lyndsey over at Lez Keep it Real posted an interesting article about books for the gay and lesbian community yesterday. She offers some great suggestions for books to curl up with during this randomly chilly spring. So, stop by and check out what she has to say.

I am happy to announce that Writers Unbound finally has a new author by the name of Jason (although I am told he is sometimes called the Professor.) Please stop by and welcome him to 451Press. That way, you will have a chance to read what he has to say about Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, and his newest published work.

And finally, please remember to vote for this blog in the Blogger’s Choice awards. Thanks!

    And I thank you as well for a plug!

    I’m desperately working to increase the number of commentators. WU’s been stagnant for so long that it’s become a bit of a ghost town in terms of discussion.

    Of course! (Now I have this image of tumbleweeds rolling over the blog. oh dear. Perhaps you should talk about westerns for a post and just go with the theme? ;) )
