Good news!

 Two very cool things happened this week!

• First: I’m being given an award that combines writing (body of work) and service to my lit community. I’m very excited about this! It’s an award that is juried primarily by a jury of readers and writers. They have to select you, you can’t apply for it. So I’m very honored too! I can’t announce officially yet because they’re contacting one of the other winners, but soon. :-D
• Second: I’ve been working with the University of Minnesota Libraries Upper Midwest Archives for the last year and a half to set up a Queen of Swords Press archive and the finding guide has just gone live!
• And a third, just for funsies: the Backerkit for a new year of New Edge Swords & Sorcery Magazine has funded! You can still pledge to get the authors, like me, and artists get a pay raise for a few more days! 

Hope to see some of you at MarsCon Minneapolis this weekend!
