In addition to may apparent lack of google-fu, I am entirely wiki-illiterate. The fabulous Irene Radford has a new Wiki entry in the logical place and has been discussing with the editors the content, and who she really is. If anyone familiar with the standards over there can

Two things I have read are:
The Dragon Nimbus Volume 2. I'd read the first half when it was published solo some time ago, but never managed to hold onto a copy of The Last Battlemage long enough to read it. I did, it was fun and very much in the tone of that world with lots of things about the universe only hinted at in other books confirmed in the story. Fun read. Wonderful writer.
The other is called Skin Hunger by Kathleen Duey. It's a YA I was reading for research and very much enjoyed. The course of action is split into two subplots and there is no meeting between the point of view characters in the two. There are connections, but nothing that happens in each half directly affects the happenings in the other. I highly reccomend it.

ramblin_phyl The other thing I did was talk to a writers group. Somehow they managed to put up with me for two hours of talking and still invited me to Friendly's for soda and ice cream afterwards. I had fun, they were a great audience attentive, inquisitive and they even laughed at my jokes. It was a fun day, but seven hours out of the house did cut into how much attention I could pay to the world. If the world ended, we were invated by aliens or anything like that please tell me.
