You're certainly welcome. (I might be interested in the workshop, depending on details.)

Just a quick note: a couple of the links in the Fine Print section did not work for me--both the past issues link and the link for the environmental writers' workshop led to 404 not found messages. Thanks!

This morning I learned that one of my pieces of flash fiction was a winner in a fall/Halloween-themed contest: www.choeofpleirnpress.com/harvest-harm...

Perfect.

I love Wodehouse, and if you haven't listened to them, I suggest some of the great audiobook versions of Wodehouse. They make the wit even sharper.

Thanks for letting me know.

Yesterday Bag of Bones Press accepted my short story "The Man With the Face Tattoo" for their Patterns anthology. (As the titles of the story and name of the publisher may suggest, it is dark fiction/horror.)

Very cool. Congratulations. May I ask when you're open to submissions? (I've reviewed your MSWL, and have some picture books that seem to align with it.)

Blog Winners of the PB & Kid Judges writing competition will be announced early!

A small bit of good news. One of my picture book manuscripts won an honorable mention in a contest: kelliebeggs.weebly.com/blog

So, it's a certainty, then? I mean, he lives to defy the Constitution, so...

Thanks.

May I ask for clarification? The ASH Literary site says, "Paula is currently closed to queries..." Is that accurate? Meaning, may I send a picture book query your way or not? Thanks.

Oh, the same company has a lecture series on the Negro Leagues. One of those lectures covers post-Emancipation ball, when the play was relatively integrated. (Not prejudice free, but with some mixed play.)

If your public library has Kanopy, there's a lecture series by the Great Courses company called Play Ball! It's on the history of baseball. One lecture is titled "Black Baseball Before the Negro Leagues."

And you're right, though: baseball is interwoven with civil rights. Douglass's son often played against Octavius Catto's team. (Oh, I don't know of any pictures of the ball teams, but here's a newspaper account:

You probably know this, but just in case, Frederick Douglass's son played on some early pro teams, and Douglass was an honorary member of the Mutual Base Ball Club.

Thank you for clearing that up.

How? Isn't that more people than live in Bolivia? (Very, very cool!)

The Bellingham protest was strong.

Yeah, Asheville!

Go Utah!
