At least Chris and I are. He’s interviewed on Podbop, and I’m profiled on Offbeat Bride. I’m also in the Offbeat Bride book, too….

Whew! Just under the wire, too. The final word of the final chapter was written on the final day, and that word was “mage.” It’s not as breathtaking as “scar,” perhaps, but I’ll take it.
Unfortunately for Patrick, the space monkeys didn’t make another appearance. Perhaps they can be added in when the book is being [...]
