Things are progressing along the branches of the Wynwidyn tree! Website is getting there :) Www.wynwidynpress.com is already garnering some attention. Thinking...thinking about a special here at wdc...or a contest maybe...off to tour a printer/binder today! Awesome prices for perfect bound books; still trying to nail down a printer with decent prices for case bound. Talked with some great illustrators yesterday too! Busy busy! It is coming together...the dream and the reality! WOOT!

7 years at WDC. What an incredible difference WDC has made in my life! I have grown, my writing most certainly has and I've made life-friends here! I've been fortunate to be a mentor and have been lucky enough to be mentored by some brilliant writers. Honestly, I wouldn't be the me I am today without WDC. This place is THE greatest! Reading over these words, they do not even come close to expressing how extremely important WDC is to me. Impossible in 500 characters!!!

Brandon Hayes found guilty of all 10 counts. Besides first-degree murder, was found guilty of torture, first-degree child abuse, premeditated murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm, distribution/manufacture of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance. There is some justice in this world. He will serve life in prison; no chance of parole.

There was simply no help for it....honestly....I mean she showed up with this HUGE box! It said carton 1 of 2. So we had to be sure that we had all we needed, didn't we? And we had to be sure that it all worked, right? Sure, maybe we could have waited until the day after Thanksgiving, but then it would be past the return date on the receipt so.....and then it started to snow....a sign for sure!
