Music Monday – “Nothing lasts forever/And your best efforts don’t always pay/Sometimes you get sick/And you don’t get better/That’s when life is short/Even in its longest days”

The idea isn’t without controversy in some circles but I was pleasantly surprised that the vast […]

I had the day off so decided to pop out to Congress at the U of R. It was a great day going through the Exhibitors’ Hall catching up with some publishers I knew from my days in that world, meeting some new publishers, talking to authors and so on. Since I rarely get out […]
