Hey, folks,

The peace prize anthology is finally out. We haven't received our copy yet, I guess they sent it 'book rate' across the water, but they have put up a pdf copy for download.

Kate got a nice surprise when she read it, since they also printed 'Gacela of the Rockdove', workshopped here last spring.

She's also been working hard on the website, and just put up some new pages this morning. Do me a favor and send her some words of encouragement: she's brand new at web coding, but already much better at it than I am...

Oh, and check out my little tribute page to her...

All hail Kate!

Thanks,

Bill

Well, I'm impressed, Kate and Bill. Not just with the overwhelming list of pubs, but with anybody who has the patience to get Weebly (I'm guessing it started on Weebly; tell me if it didn't) to do all that.

Very nicely done.

Maryann,

It's actually free wordpress software, which I downloaded and put up on my webhost. Then I reconfigured the style sheet, and did some image work (those banners, so far, are San Diego, Nice, Boston, and Mt. Whitney). The tricky part was turning blog code into website code. If anyone wants to try something similar, the overlay is called "atahualpa."

But once I got the code working, Kate looked at my idea of formatting, and gasped in horror "Give me that keyboard!" she said, in a tone that cannot be ignored.

By the way, I put up the "friends and colleagues" links just yesterday. I searched for you, but couldn't find a website or blog to link to. I did find something for Nemo, Jehanne, Kate Benedict, Sarah, Rick's book, etc, but the pickings were indeed slim. If anybody out there has a website or blog I can link to, let me know, as networked PR is always better than stand alone!

Thanks,

Bill

Dear Mary,

Done.

Bill, your poem has an almost biblical sound.

Am I correct in deducing that you also had a poem that was a runner-up to your winning poem?

Please send me a list of all the contests you are submitting to, so I don't throw away my hard-earned cash.

LOL to Janice. I was about to say the same thing. Oh and for the Kate cloning project. Sign me up. I wamt one.
