I'm just looking at my sidebar and thinking how busy I got after reading Wildwood Dancing, which I think must have been at the end of the summer. I've read other books since then, but I haven't had much time to update my sidebar. And I need to update the Books YOU Should Read for 2008, because Mirrorstone has a lot of great books coming out that I want to tell you about, but I've been so swamped that, once again, I have slacked on the sidebar-age.

I'm not making a New Year's resolution to change that any. The blog has been down on the totem pole for a while now, sadly. On the bright side, I've been accomplishing a lot of cool things that I just haven't had time to tell you about. Like a couple really cool series which I can't tell you about yet, but which you'll hear much more about later when the time is right. 

... If I have time to blog. Which probably won't be this month, given that I'm traveling to Philadelphia mid-month for ALA Midwinter, and then at the end of the month I'm disappearing to the Great White North of Vermont for the Kindling Words retreat. All time not spent out of town will probably be spent keeping up with work in the office!

So I'll be around, though in a minimal way for a while yet. I'll still pop in from time to time to announce things. Perhaps I might come away from Kindling Words with some interesting information I can share.

Come to think of it, we have a release this month you need to know about--the debut of the companion series to A Practical Guide to Dragons! Red Dragon Codex comes out within the week (I think Jan. 6 is the official release date) so go find it! R.D. Henham has penned a fun adventure that fans of the Practical Guides will love!
