Some updates from last month. I did submit Muirwood to the agency and they rejected the sample they asked for. Out of the blue this week, I got an e-mail about the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award and have submitted Muirwood to the competition. The publisher working with Amazon is Penguin,
It has been a scary month in terms of the economic shriveling up. If the news hasn’t depressed you yet, then better check out Seqouia Capital’s gloomy forecast: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/10/10/sequoia-capitals-56-slide-powerpoint-presentation-of-doom/ My division at Intel announced downsizing last week, but the results will not be revealed until early in 2009.

The November election is over, the Prop 8 campaign is finished (and won!), I’m now a bishop, and I even got a letter from Terry Brooks right before Halloween. It has been a busy month full of unexpected surprises. But with the campaign finished, I’m almost ready to get back

Sometimes an e-mail will arrive out of the blue that makes your day. My nephew Nathan sent me one recently. Timing was great. Uncle Jeff, I just finished reading Landmoor and it is my new favorite book. I like it even better than Eragon. It was so AWESOME- except for
