Promo: I Should Be Writing
Promo: Dragon’s Fire, Wizard’s Flame by Michael R. Mennenga
While both Mikes were unaware, I’d like to point out that “Changing the World” is not the first Valdemar anthology with stories by outside authors… I have 3 others, and I’ll likely be reading this one over the holidays.
Yes, I own most of the books set in the Valdemar universe, why do you ask?
I need to sit down. They actually played my whole voicemail!
Speaking of which; Oi Mennega! What’ve you got against Sarah McLachlan?
