From one writer to another, thoughts on both the creative and publishing process. I finally opted for self-publishing after the painfully recorded (at this blog) futile two-year agent-search. Four novels published including Hafan Deg, published last month (available at Amazon and most outlets, including eBooks). Will let you know what's happening with "A Kind of Winnowing" from time to time...

Calling All Tuscaloosa Cat Lovers
Just saw a sad blog that is totally obsessing me. This poor woman, Victoria, has an aunt who must go to a retirement place, leaving her house AND her CAT. Victoria hasn't been able to find anyone to take it, and it seems she will have to drop it off at a KILL shelter today.
Do you have any contacts in Tuscaloosa, Alabama? I'm trying to reach as many people as possible.
If you have any forum links, can network, or twitter, could you put the word out?
Her blog is http://accrispin.blogspot.com/
If someone could even give temporary shelter until a new owner could be found, it would be wonderful. They should leave their email on her blog for her to contact them.
Sorry to do this to you. I don't usually do things like this, but I am an animal lover and this really upset me.
