I’m so sorry for the massive delay here! Although I finally have high speed internet, it’s only mobile broadband so I have to be a bit sparing with my usage. It is at least more functional, if only for small amounts of time. I’m writing this from a coffee shop, however. And I have lots of updates for you, to make up for my absence!

Firstly, I’ve finally updated the directory, adding a few links and deleting a few outdated ones. On that note, you’ll notice that Gina has, at least temporarily, taken her website down. You can still read her collab with Jesse-may, Before It Breaks.

Secondly, I’ve updated the spotlights for March, a week late. This month, I’m featuring my new awards, Blank Page Awards, my friend Liz’s story Tiny Dancer and an interview with my other friend Alecia. Fun stuff!

Lastly… the awards! It’s been almost a year since I ran the last round of Thieves and Liars, and although I loved those awards, they had definitely run their course. It was time for something new. So, here comes the Blank Page Awards! Nominations start in a few weeks, so go check it out now and get ready to submit yours. I hope we all have a ton of fun with it!

And I think that’s it for now. I am still updating a few of my stories off and on, so check those out if you like, too.

I think I mentioned months ago that I was toying with the idea of adding a new section to the site. Well, I finally did it!

The Reviews section is now open for business! There are a few reviews of my own and others there right now, but it’s pretty bare. If you’d like to write a review, there are some guidelines for that. You can also send me an email if you want your story reviewed and I’ll do that for you. I think this new section is going to be a fun, interactive addition to the site.

I’ve also given the layout a bit of a makeover, as you might have noticed. I’m really happy with this layout, and I expect to keep it with just a few occasional changes in headers and colors whenever I want a change.
